Wildfire in Edinburgh, City of

Great place for diner. Very friendly people, very good food. Had the Haggis and that was very good. Ideal if you want to try haggis.

Loved this small, select eatery. Steak and seafood. Excellent quality food. Steak cooked to perfection. Decent prices. Service superb. ❣️

Been here a few times as it’s always good. Visited on a Saturday evening and as it’s a small cosy restaurant I recommend booking well in advance so as not to be disappointed. I had the Cullen Skink which was fantastic, followed by an amazing fillet steak with chunky fries, I am not a salad lover but the one I got accompanying my steak was delicious, the fillet was cooked to perfection and was so flavourful 👌 My wife opted for the grill sea bass on crushed garlic potatoes which she said was delicious and certainly looked great. Glass of wine and a bottle of lager was about £83 and worth every single penny!! Staff are great also, can’t wait to return 👍

We came in on a Monday at 6:45 for our anniversary and were very warmly greeted by a lovely waitress. The warm, friendly service we got through the meal was really the highlight of the evening for us. A really wonderful job from her. The starters we had were lovely and I can highly recommend the chowder. My steak was cooked to perfection but unfortunately the sides let the dish down. The unfortunate garlic mushrooms that were not very garlicky, and some overly salty chips let the mains down. Again the wonderful service with a nice anniversary treat from our waitress made our evening feel very special before some delicious desserts.

Great food in a modest restaurant

Efficient service and very welcoming. No hanging about for food. Good choice of drinks-I had heather beer which was really nice. Cullen skink exactly as it should be and the most delicious steak. Sticky toffee pudding was excellent.

Lovely little cosy spot, great atmosphere & the added bonus of a fire place. The waitresses were amazing so friendly & lovely. The food was really good The steaks cooked perfectly and were very reasonable priced as well.

Small and cozy steakhouse with excellent food! We had the fillet, the rump steak and the sirloin, and everything was cooked to perfection and fantastic. Ended the meal with sticky toffee pudding, which was also superb! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent food and service at Wildfire. We visited this same restaurant in 2013 and said we would return on a return trip to Edinburgh. We were not disappointed, the steaks were amazing, probably amongst the best we've ever had. Would highly recommend while visiting Edinburgh. Make sure to book in advance as there is limited availability.

Had a wonderful valentines night here. The food was wonderful. A small romantic setting & the service was great. We opted for fish pie & chicken with Peppercorn sauce for mains but next time going to try the steak. Starters were amazing & the sticky toffee pudding was epic. Thank you

We arrived. Few minutes late. We were greeted warmly and shown our seats by the window next to the fireplace. We were given water and menus and began our selection. We ordered a bottle of Las Palmas Malbec. I had the haggis with oatcakes, the portion was a good size and the haggis was tasty. I then had a sirloin with garlic and parsley butter with shoestring fries. The steak was a good size and was well cooked. We shared ice cream as a dessert and I had a double espresso. Small friendly restaurant at the west end of Rose Street. Staff were polite and attentive. Cosy atmosphere and well worth a visit.

Excellent service, nice warm and cozy place, exceptional cooking and the tip is optional, unlike most places now in Edinburgh that attach the service charge in the final bill. The sirloin steak and the roasted chicken were superb, and the garlic mushrooms are a must-try dish. I can't recommend this place enough! Will definitely visit again.

Had a great time here, food, service and vibes are all top notch, the steaks,sides and the desserts all were amazing, they accommodated us even though we did not have any reservation. Will be back for sure next time I come to Edinburgh.

Great place for dinner. Friendly staff and really good food

First time and it was amazing food abeyance staff were brilliant so attentive

Steak cooked to perfection, added the surf and Turf option which came with two delicious prawns

Very friendly and warm staff, amazing food.

Great restaurant. Small but beautiful, a lovely card and great cuisine!

100% recommended. Very friendly waiters, specifically a Spanish guy who treated us great. Great food (incredible meat) Few tables and very intimate atmosphere.

First time at wildfire, had lunch with my sister. The food was fabulous, so tasty and the young woman who served us couldnt have been nicer! Will definitely return!

We called in for diner tonight on spec and my wife and I agreed that we now have a favourite restaurant in Edinburgh. The service was first class and the food was exceptional. Very happy to recommend this establishment. You won't be disappointed.

Been here twice. Food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent!

Simply delicious... rib eye cooked to perfection 👌

100% recommended. The waiter Antonio, a very nice man from Malaga. He advised us about the city Very cozy place with good food. Good quality/price

Best steak I've had in a long time ,

Nice homey experience and was very cozy! Staff were super welcoming and very helpful deciphering the menu for my group. Food was excellent I got the 10oz ribeye and chips with peppercorn sauce and it was perfect! But let me tell you the sticky toffee pudding had to be the best in edinburgh. 10/10 would come back again.

Absolute gem of a restaurant. I can honestly say I have never had a steak as perfect as I did at Wildfire. If you're in Edinburgh, you can't miss out on this place. Top tier.

Wildfire is a gorgeous little restaurant, with excellent, locally-sourced food. Well worth visiting for a special occasion. Recommend booking as it only holds about 30 people and it's been full every time I've visited!

Staff are excellent very attentive. Food is expensive but well presented and tasty.

Super nice, small but fine restaurant. Highly recommended

We recently had the pleasure of dining at the Wildfire in Edinburgh and Lauren & Nikita were total superstars!! We ended up having an absolute blast just following their recommendations and it ended up being one of the highlights of our time in this beautiful city. My steak was cooked to perfection and my wife’s Chilean sea bass was extraordinary! If you’re in the area and are craving some quality food and the best customer service in Edinburgh you need to go to the Wildfire website and book a table right now! When you’re there ask for Lauren & Nikita for 5 star service. We are definitely stopping by again next time we’re in magical Edinburgh. Cheers!

My husband and I recently visited Wildfire restaurant in Edinburgh and we had a great experience. From the moment we walked in Lauren and Nikita took care of us. They were knowledgeable, pleasant and attentive to our needs. The food was superb and exactly what we wanted and how we wanted it. We will definitely visit again when in town because of the great experience we had. Thank you for a great service and experience!

Beautiful intimate restaurant, amazing staff, food outstanding, perfect ambiance

Brilliant restaurant. The scallops, haggis and steak were exceptional and they were very hospitable for such a large group in a small restaurant. Would recommend!

First time here, fabulous food, Seafood French style with veggie and steak options. Great wine list and generous portions

It was a nice steak cooked how I had ordered it. Serving staff were quite young and weren't the most attentive. Didn't stay long because there was a large table of very loud Americans who were going for the third bottle of red wine when I left

We made reservations at this quaint steakhouse for the evening we flew into Edinburgh as it is rated highly and is located just around the corner from our hotel. This little restaurant is a gem. Things we loved: - the food was delicious - Cullen skink (we shared it as an appetizer), ribeye steak for me that was perfectly done with a surprisingly delicious side salad, pan-fried fillet of seabream - quaint, cozy atmosphere without feeling overcrowded - fantastic service - great drink options - lovely location on Rose Street near the Edinburgh Castle but not on the tourist tracks of the Royal Mile or Grassmarket areas. Things we would change: - we were so tired after traveling for nearly 20 hours. We just wish we hadn’t been so exhausted!

Really delicious food from the a la carte menu. Seasoning was well balanced and food was fresh. Despite it being a busy evening, our service was great and food was timely. As a tourist, I wish I had time to go back! Reservations are recommended.

They were very kind because even though everything was full they were able to offer us a table. The staff's attention was excellent. Very good food. A very pleasant and quiet place to enjoy Scottish cuisine.

Small but friendly place, the soft lighting was perfect for the occasion. We had a delicious soup and some delightful King prawns. The haggis is also worth trying, very good. The staff was very kind and friendly, they answered all our questions and guided us perfectly in choosing the dishes.

the meat was perfect. we’ve tried some seafood first and then the fillet and some siders. they were all delicious.

"Small but nice" applies both to the restaurant itself (approx. 30 seats and then it's really full) and to the menu. There is something for steak lovers, seafood fans (mussels, lobster, etc) and the Scottish specialties are not neglected either. The service is very attentive and friendly and doesn't shy away from recommendations. In addition to Cullem Skink (nicely fishy, ​​if relatively bland, but generally well balanced), we had haggis and chicken, the latter came with a great pepper sauce that's worth asking for. Plus local beers and a delicious port wine at the end, what a lovely evening...

We tried Haeggis for the first time and were really impressed by how good it tasted. I didn't find the oatmeal cookies that went with it that convincing, but otherwise it was great. The fish gratin was also good, creamy but still light. Plus a delicious salad. My husband was completely thrilled by the perfectly prepared beef fillet! A dream. Really good food and nice service. You can look into the kitchen on the way to the toilet, it's remarkable what is conjured up there in such a small space. Overall, a great chance find on our stroll through the city. Thank you! Anke and Jürgen from Germany

They have a quite good menu of seafood. Recommended if you look forward to tasting the local fish with a quite good recipes in a beautiful neighborhood. They don’t serve beer on tap. Waitress was nice and welcoming.

The best meal we had in Scotland. Attention, reservations are necessary.

Amazing Halal Food Amazing juicy BBQ I tried mixed grill then pasta and last was Seafood All were amazing and very delicious then i realized that the link between them is an amzing chef👌❤️

Ribeye steak is tender. Waitresses with a smile. Excellent.

Genuinely the best mussels and prawns I have ever had in my entire life. The only reason this restaurant loses a star in my book is because the meal took almost three hours for literally no reason, so we were freezing cold in patio seats. Also, they brought my sister completely raw salmon after she specifically asked whether or not it was cooked. They made a few mistakes on the bill also, but they were wonderful when we asked for another meal (without eating any of the raw salmon) and asked for the bill to be corrected.

Top restaurant! Excellent service and food!

Our food was excellent.. lobster, prawns and steak was fantastic..

This was our favorite meal in Edinburgh. Cozy ambiance, attentive service, and a fairly priced menu relative to the quality of the meal. Highly recommend the Haggis starter. The steaks are fantastic, and the quality of meat is accentuated by the simple seasoning and perfect cook. Strongly recommend booking a table here!

Shocking Customer Service. Restaurant cancelled booking without contact. Only caught it on booking app when went to check time. Restaurant claim they can’t tell people they are closing due to GDPR. They said not to worry there are plenty of restaurants in Edinburgh. Well they are right and it will never be Wildfire!

Perfect welcome, availability of the waitress, responses to our numerous requests with a smile and patience. She does not hesitate to question our choices, such as cooking meat, for example, in a polite and caring manner, in order to provide us with the best possible experience. very professional but also friendly. The price is a little high but I've never eaten anything so good, treat yourself, go there with your eyes closed!

We were looked after well during our Birthday lunch experience, though were the only diners, always a little disconcerting. However the polite staff tended to our requests and their wee treat of a complimentary sherry was a lovely touch. Partner enjoyed the haggis starter which oddly came with oatcakes, of which there could have been more . Mains of filet steak 1, and prawns 2, were delicious. Sticky toffee desert, also very good. There were a couple of hiccups that the young team dealt with very professionally e.g. odd loud playlist which they gladly softened to more appealing background jazz. All in all an enjoyable late lunch - will make sure to come at busier times next time round.

Good place and good food Had a great time.

What a delicious meal!! Between the haddock, the chicken, and the seafood bake we left very content and full. We also tried the haggis that was very delicious, surprisingly so. The waitresses were very lovely and helped us choose our entrees.

We walked in early without a reservation and were seated with a reasonable time limit - we could see why as the place filled up with reservations. This no-frills small restaurant serves delicious mussels, Scottish angus beef cook exactly as requested. Comfortable and tasteful decor. Friendly professional service and reasonable prices. Great find on a bust street full of restaurants.

Excellent food and service in the centre of Edinburgh what's not to like!! Will definitely be back very soon. Had mussels, steak and sticky toffee pudding amazing.

Before our Edinburgh trip, we were told this is a place we must not miss, as a dining option so we made our way here, to this place along the Rose Street! Greeted by a super sweet & lovely lady whom we later found out that her name is Iona (hope I spelt it right 😊). She was friendly, patience & helpful. Not only did she give us ample time to make our choice, she even offered to bring some blankets as the weather was quite cold (about 18 degree) while we decided to dine outdoor (we didn’t dine indoor as the place is a bit dark & we really want to see clearly what we eat 😋😋) Everything was great, we finished up almost everything in our plate, except the haggis side dish… guess we are not used to the taste :-)

Was really looking forward to eating here as had heard great things. Although we ate early felt as though we were being rushed the whole time, asking what we wanted to eat 2 mins after giving us the menus. The chicken was good, fisherman’s pie was returned as was Luke warm (at best) at the bottom, Sirloin steak was very average and lots of sinew. When asked about the meal said the steak was average and the fish pie cold but met with an apology and zero action. It’s an expensive restaurant and I expected much better.

Lovely and quaint atmosphere. Delicious food. Excellent service. I wish I was not a tourist so that I could visit again and again!

Very very good steak, just the wait a little long after ordering and quite high prices. However, it remains to be tried for the quality of the meat 👍

Super friendly and professional management and staff. The menu is delicious and varied and the ambience so inviting.

Great meal in Wildfire, staff were very attentive.

Extremely friendly personel. We tried the haggis, and the Fisherman's pie, which were both absolutely lovely! Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

A small and very cozy restaurant. The food was superb and amazing. Need a reservation as its always busy.

Lovely little restaurant on a side street with excellent steaks at moderate prices. Good value

Visited here on 24th April for an evening meal. This was the tastiest steak I have ever had, hands down. I always order my steak rare and not very often does it actually arrive genuinely rare, always more towards medium-rare. This was cooked spot on and the peppercorn sauce was delicious too. I also ordered truffle fries as a side order and these were lovely too. My partner ordered the mussels which he really enjoyed and my affogato was also lovely. The younger lady who served us was seemingly on her own front of house that evening. Everything came quickly and her service was great. I thought the venue was really cosy and comfortable and I'm so glad we came here as opposed to visiting a chain restaurant.

Best food best shrimp best scallops best soundtrack get here and eat here!

Food was excellent and a lovely service appeared to be very quiet as we were the only people in.

We had a most enjoyable lunch at Wildfire! Everything from the service provided by Iona, the freshness of the seafood and fish we ate, the wholesome taste of each dish and the relaxed cosy atmosphere.

Visited lunch time just as they opened, warm and cozy restaurant with a friendly and helpful maitede. She had our table ready with water prior to arrival. I ordered Cullen Skink and the Chicken with Diane sauce, and my husband had scallops and steak for main Cooked perfectly and they really do the best Steaks and Cullen Skink. Great friendly service highly recommended.

Best meal we had in Edinburgh! The staff was extraordinary, the front of house was so friendly and warm and each fish dish we ordered was prepared to perfection. The prices are reasonable, and while it is a tiny space, the atmosphere is so cozy and inviting you feel like you’re eating at a friends lovely home. I have not one suggestion or word of criticism, this was a flawless final dinner in the city. We shan’t forget you, wildfire and I wish I had asked for my waitress’ name, because she was an utter delight. Thanks again!

Had an amazing meal last night. One of the best fish pies I've ever had and an amazing sticky toffee pudding. Service was phenomenal as well.

A lovely little restaurant in the new part of Edinburgh. Booked here months ago for my stepdad's 60th. The restaurant maybe seats only 25 people max and just one waitress but she was attentive and polite. Table had some small birthday confetti on for the birthday but I had hoped they would do a pudding or something as it was booked months in advance. Food was really good though- we had cullen skink, prawns and the salmon from the starters and steak for main. Would visit here again!

A beautifully quaint restaurant in the heart of Edinburgh. The food was amazing, particularly the steak. The most friendly staff and definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely fantastic place in the heart of the city. I wanted to take my brother out for a special meal but it was a spur of the moment thing and most places had closed for lunch service. We found Wildfire, not knowing what to expect, and discovered the best meal either of us have had in a long while. The best cooked scallops I have had in many years were quickly followed by an exquisitely cooked to order 10oz ribeye steak surf and turf - the star for me being the grilled king prawn 'surf' with rich garlic butter sauce and shoe string fries. We finished with a simple but delicious cheese board. Highly recommended.

Had a great meal, staff were very attentive and appreciated the wine recommendation. Will certainly revisit the next time we are in Edinburgh.

What a lovely, cosy place this is! Lovely traditional decor and atmospheric lighting. We visited Edinburgh for my birthday so decided to try out this place. Despite being a Thursday most tables were filled adding to the atmosphere. We had Pate and scallops for starters and it was honestly the best Pate I've had. Think the addition of brandy probably added to the flavour. My husband's scallops looked amazing. We both went for a fillet steak with blue sauce and chips. It was out of this world. Best steak I've had in a long time. We didn't have pudding as we were absolutely stuffed. Lovely, attentive waitress. We will be back!

Such a classy little gem. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was perfect for lunch. Haggis to start and muscles for main. It was my birthday and it was a lovely surprise when we were given a glass of sherry and a lovely cake to share at the end of our meal.

I cannot say food was outstanding but I can say service quality and attitude was terrible. We went to restaurant at 20:30. We ordered some starters and then mains. After waiting 35 minutes they brought starters and mains at the same time. When I said “this is not the correct way to serve a dinner” the lady who was serving me the ribeye told me “do you want to get this or not” with a very rude attitude. My personal opinion is this restaurant is overrated. Starters were below average. Ribeye was best dish on the table and cooked correct. Wine menu is very limited.

Great evening at the Wildfire. Small and intimate but very comfortable and great service!

Lovely atmosphere and we enjoyed a quality meal. Was nice to go somewhere small and independent. Had beautiful Cullen skink, mussels and steaks all cooked beautifully and you could tell it was all nice fresh produce. Fair price for the location too. Can certainly recommend booking.

Thank you to the Wildfire team that made our evening so special. The service and food could genuinely not be flawed. Name a better combo than steak & seafood

Great and good to support such a pationate team! Fabulous well done couldn't get better value if you tried! Thanks NHarrison, Carlisle.

Read the reviews before visiting, and this place absolutely did not dissapoint. My mum had haggis to start and it was pleasantly delishious! We both had steak for our main, and it was cooked to PERFECTION. Best steak we had both had in a long time. Staff were lovely, the place has a lovely ambiance to it and the wine was great too. Highly recommend 👌

All food delicious - ribeye perfectly done as requested. Fish pie yummy. Nice atmosphere. Waiting staff really friendly, helpful and professional.

Founds this place by accident. The tiny place is full of atmosphere, the food was incredible and portions weren’t small, the service was exceptional. All round one of our best meals in Edinburgh

Good ambience, nice music, friendly service and great food .

Ambient surroundings in Rose Street , Edinburgh. A real hidden gem. Delicious food and attentive bar staff. Choice of seafood and steak cooked to perfection.

Trato acogedor y precios razonables. Menú de comida con platos tradicionales y ingredientes locales frescos y de buena calidad. Disponibilidad amplia de cervezas.

Friendly welcome and very tasty food. Highly recommended if you are looking for a quiet restaurant with a tasty steak.

Lovely cosy spot. Wonderful staff and delicious food.

Cosy atmosphere, good service but the food was a bit below par in comparison to the prices.

Les plats sont excellents et le bœuf vraiment succulent. L’ambiance est cosy Un bel endroit pour passer une bonne soirée Allez y

Service was spectacular and the place is small and cozy. Good steak and really good seafood. Smoked salmon was amazing

Sehr gemütlich, sehr liebe aufmerksame Menschen und so leckeres Essen 🥰 wir kommen im nächsten Urlaub gerne wieder!

Had pre booked for a group and confirmed the booking. When we arrived they hadn't got us booked in despite speaking to someone a day earlier.

This is a tricky review. So let’s start with the positives. This is a lovely wee restaurant and everything that we had to eat was excellent. The problem is, it isn’t what we wanted to eat. At 8pm of a Saturday night we arrived to be told that there was no mussels (part of the reason one of the party wanted to go there) and no chicken left. The restaurant has a very small menu (I don’t mind this!) but when two things aren’t available it does restrict you quite a lot and also pushes you to the pricier options of the steak menu. The staff were helpful and did manage to offer a steak with the sides that were on the chicken dish but really, I mean what restaurant (who had another dozen diners arrive after us) doesn’t have any chicken?? That’s the ranty bit. Once we had all reordered, the food was delicious. Also the wine was lovely and the perfect temperature. We did enjoy our night and would probably return. If the full menu was on…
