🇵🇹 about maple & ember
Inspired by the hills of Douro and the scent of orange trees, Maple & Ember brings the warmth of Portuguese tavemas to the hearth. We celebrate bacalhau, grilled sardines, creamy pastéis de nata, and the rich, smoky flavours of charcoal.
— azulejos, fado, and a glass of port.
