Wildfire in Edinburgh, City of

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.

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.

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!

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…

Excellent staff and great food. My one reservation is that steak is all you get unless you add sides. At the price, I would have expected one side included. Having said that, I would go again and will recommend to others.

Cracking little restaurant. Locally sourced food cooked splendidly! Lovely service, good wines and great value.

we had to place our orders in advance and we were told not to be late as they would only hold our table for ten minutes. Bit surprised when we turned up and our table wasn't ready...then we were told they didn't have enough prawns - so, what was the point of pre-ordering? on the whole, food was decent but not spectacular....

Super warm in every way! We came for Christmas Eve dinner and were delighted with the food and the service! The Fish Pie was dreamy, the haggis was delicious and the scallops and mussels were fresh and beautifully cooked! The Toffee pudding sent us to heaven with a side of whiskey, oat and honey ice-cream! Highly recommend!

The level of disappointment is indescribable. On Christmas Eve, why would one go out? Perhaps for a dinner with a partner, family, or friends, expecting the experience to be worth the expense. Can a taxi be late for pickup? Of course, especially when you're located at a distance, and unfortunately, this is beyond your control. The worst part is if you're delayed for a justified reason and have booked through OpenTable or similar services, you might face an unfair charge for being slightly late. The food was underwhelming. Having tried various restaurants in Edinburgh and in over 16 countries, we expected better. Regarding the service, we extend our thanks to the kind lady who assisted us with our belongings. Her kindness throughout the night was commendable, and she deserves recognition. However, the other staff member, a blonde lady, was noticeably rude. We understand that Christmas Eve is a time best spent with family or close ones, but this should not translate into negative attitudes towards customers. Last part, wine was not taken as they mentioned that as per their license they cannot allow customers to take their own wine. This is only restaurants I heard such a thing in Edinburgh, what kind of license is that? But no worries, I'll check that and edit this part of review accordingly. It's important to note that in today's world, many people have significant online followings, and a bad review can harm a business's reputation.

The food here is really wonderful. We had the goats cheese parcel, Cullen skink, fillet steak, rump steak and fish pie. All so tasty. It was 2 days before Christmas and there were crackers for us on the table and complementary mince pies. We also had sticky toffee pudding. It was delicious. The staff were attentive and cheerful. This was a great choice for our only night in Edinburgh.

Really friendly and attentive staff and unique historic building. Unfortunately for the price the steaks just aren't there. They need to take £5 off every steak for the value for money to be there. The steak is not premium quality so the prices are just too high. The sides were pub chain quality. Have been looking for a good value steak place since Buffalo grill closed down, unfortunately this is not it.

Delicious food and great service

Fabulous small Scottish bistro in Rose Street. We had one of the best steaks we've ever had, both ordered to be cooked differently and both were perfect. Great service. Only negatives, as it's very small it can be quite noisy, and when we left we asked them to order us a taxi and they wouldn't as they said taxis can never find them. We were advised to walk to Princes Street which in heels , having arrived by taxi ( booked by our hotel), was not easy. No taxis available anywhere which spoiled a lovely evening out as my feet were killing me. Advice to staff, you can order taxis with a pick up at the Charlotte Square end of Rose Street.

Wow, stumbled on this little restaurant walking back to our hotel and we are so glad we did. It literally is a hidden gem. The food was out of this world. I had mussels and ribeye. Cooked perfectly and the flavours were amazing. Staff were so friendly and a real cozy atmosphere. Can’t recommend highly enough

Cosy atmosphere, great service and delicious food. Portion sizes very generous. Yummy! I had mussels starter, which I'd recommend

Absolutely gorgeous experience. Food was excellent and the staff were lovely. My husband had the scallops to start and the fish pie for his main. I had the fillet steak with shoestring fries and a salad. We shared the trio of cheeses. All wonderful.

Food was lovely, but not the standard you would expect for the price... Staff were attentive

The best fillet steak I have ever eaten. A beautiful and cozy little restaurant.

A great meal in a lovely little restaurant. The staff were so nice and helpful

What an amazing cosy little place. We just had the festive lunch menu and it was amazing. The staff were so friendly and the food was amazing. We had an issue with allergies in terms of desserts but the staff easily sorted it out. Well...

A lovely restaurant. Food was amazing, staff extremely efficient and welcoming.

Lovely cosy atmosphere. The Cullen skink was excellent! We had the rib eye steak. One surf and turf. Both were perfectly cooked. Sides were delicious. We would definitely recommend this restaurant.

ムール貝も肉も、とてもおいしかった。何より中の雰囲気がとてもアットホームでよかった。

Lovely and very cozy place. I had the prawns as the starter which wasn't that good, I'm afraid - 3 prawns that were tough and overcooked for £12 seemed quite overprized, and that's why it's only 4 stars and not 5. The steak however was...

Fantastic food, great service and superb location.

Lovely little Steakhouse. It was fully booked but the staff let me in for a quick meal…. And it was worth it. I had the King Prawns to start and a Ribeye steak for main with peppercorn sauce and it was cooked medium rare to...

Had an absolutely fantastic meal here at the weekend. The steaks were so full of flavour and just melted in the mouth! delicious sides and yummy desserts. Will be back soon!

Great Scottish steak restaurant with a nice menu. They served the best proper Scottish chips (not fries) that I've had in ages.

A beautiful little restaurant, family-run, cosy and friendly, with loads of locally sourced produce. Great service, with good food and drink recommendations from staff. We had a wonderful evening, would highly recommend the west coast mussels & king prawns!

We had a lovely meal at Wildfire. The food and service was terrific. We had goats cheese and Cullen skink to start, both very good. We went for the vegetarian main and a sirloin steak, both faultless. Potion sizes are generous, would definitely recommend

Lovely ambience to this restaurant. I had gone last year and I think it was a set menu and it was really nice. However this time we had booked and it was only the A la carte menu. Service was ok the restaurant was nearly...

Great food from starters to pudding.

Kleines aber beschauliches Restaurant mit ausgezeichnetem Essen - bei uns hat einfach alles gepasst!

Came here for our last day in Edinburgh and turned out it was the best place. The food was just glorious and the staff was very kind and attentive all the time. Very cozy place that reminds you of a little house on the countryside....

What a find! It has to be one of the best restaurants we have been to. It was small and cosy venue. The service could not be faulted and the food was superb. The presentation was spot on. Not too fancy but very nicely served. The small menu had something for everyone and cooked to perfection. We could not recommend it highly enough.

My fiancé and I tried this restaurant for the first time tonight and I couldn’t fault it - food, drinks and service were all excellent 👍🏼

Food was amazing (we got ribeye steak). I also loved the haggis as the starter. Lovely meal

We liked the look of this place and as the reviews were good we booked a table. On entering the ambience was good and there was a warm greeting. The wine list is poor and surprisingly there was no Merlot on offer! However, the Malbec...

Very disappointed. The fixed price lunch menu was lovely and having had time to peruse and make our choices we were then told that one of the dishes was “off”. Changes made and four people choosing the same dish, we were then told there were...

Lovely cosy restaurant with a very reasonably priced lunch menu. Food was delicious, staff friendly.

We had dinner with 6 of us and everything was perfect, the atmosphere, the staff but most importantly the food!

Great food, great service. Quiet and dim setting.

061023 Ordered Cullen Skink and Haggis for starters. Mains were Ribeye and Cod covered with Parma ham. All the food was excellent, really top notch. The two servers were pleasant and helpful. Small restaurant with a lovely intimate atmosphere. Will definitely return when back in the city.

Excellent fillet steaks. What more can you ask for? Very good, attentive and friendly service. We really enjoyed the evening.

Booked a table for two and was delightfully surprised by the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was great, we had the lunch special with angus steak, very happy! Now, the top was indeed the sticky toffee pudding with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream - I’m certainly returning for that!!!

Not as good as previous visits, fish chowder was thin with very little fish for the price point, haggis was under seasoned. Steaks as always were delicious and perfectly cooked, the expensive add on sides were very uninspiring and small portions The only included side...

We stayed at the Premier Inn on Prince Street and this restaurant was just around the corner and down to the street behind us, Rose Street. So very easy to get to if you're staying down in New Town. Lovely small room. Smoked salmon appetizer...

Had a lovely meal at Wildfire two weeks ago. The service was exceptional, honestly the best service I have experienced at any other restaurant. The team went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meal. The menu had many great options but I...

Perfect atmosphere. Perfect food. Perfect way to end our visit to this beautiful country. Thanks so much for an amazing evening

One of the most enjoyable dining experiences of the year for us. The serving staff “Klaudia & Iona” were so professional and friendly, the ambience was welcoming and warm, and the food was healthy and delicious 😋

Fabulous meal. Really excellent. Mussels followed by one of the best steaks I’ve eaten in many years (and I’ve eaten a fair few!). Service was really friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Loved it. One of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh

Great little find! Food was tasty without the pretense.

For the price nowhere near worth the money. The steak was so thin like it’d be beaten down. For £30 without a side I don’t have a clue what I was paying for. I’ve had better steaks for £15 in pubs. To pay £5 more for chips, of which you get about 9 chips is a joke. Paid nearly £60 for a very abismal steak and chips and 2 beers. Place must be making a fortune ripping folk off.

The place is a bit small, so it is recommended to make a reservation upfront. We tasted the haggis and the chicken liver as starters. Both were clearly freshly made in the kitchen and tasteful. As main courses we decided to order a sirloin and a ribeye, both medium. They were a bit well done, which was a small disappointment. However the meat was tasty and nicely grilled. It is recommended to take a side dish with the steak as it is only served with salad. The ladies serving the tables were nice a very friendly. Sitting outside was a little uncomfortable with a hobo begging for money twice and a gypsy woman trying to sell single roses. Overall the food and service were worth it.

Super restaurant avec des plats de qualité.

Best steak we’ve had in the last 6 months across Europe

Good meat, outstanding service, a bit noisy as the place is small, but it gives athmosphere if you’re not looking for a romantic date !

Todo riquísimo 🤤 😋 Nos atendió Fergus, un encanto de persona 👌👍 El postre de tofu... para quitar el sentido delicioso 😋 Los haggies, típico de aquí, muy rico.

Fantastic Scottish restaurant lovely steaks and big portion starters. Good food, service and value for money.

We spent half a day here. Delicious food, great service!

يستحق التجربه ولذيذ لكن قطعه الاستيك كان صغيره بالنسبه للسعر . يستحق التجربه

This may have been our best meal in Edinburgh. The staff was so kind and helpful. We came in during a dinner rush without a reservation and they made a table for our party of 5. The steaks were fantastic. You have to get the Sticky Toffee!The restaurant is warm and cozy.

Maanden vantevoren gereserveerd. Eten was prima en echt lekker. We wouden geen dessert en waren nog rustig ons wijn aan het drinken werden we verzocht om op te schieten want de volgende gasten kwamen eraan .. en dat binnen een uur na binnenkomst.. reden om niet meer te gaan ...

Leuk gezellig ingericht restaurant met een terras. Het eten smaakte prima. Na het voor- en hoofdgerecht kregen we de vraag of we nog dessert wilde, dit wilde we niet. We zaten nog aan onze wijn en wilde daarna nog koffie bestellen. Echter kregen we de vraag of we wilde afrekenen, de volgende reservering zou er zo aankomen. We hebben amper een uur gezeten. Dit vind ik erg klantonvriendelijk.

Restaurant intimiste avec une cuisine de qualité et un personnel aux petits soins. Viande et fromages artisanaux, cuisine avec alternative sans gluten 👍

Excellent meal. In particular, the haggis and steak are highly recommended.

Buon ristorante di pesce che serve piatti tipici scozzesi

Wouldn't be back... pate was tasteless, mussels really well prepared. We had two fillet steaks, both asked for medium rare, steaks were medium, medium to well. Also they don't sell sparkling winy by the glass. Nothing special about this place. A bit over rated.

Giving this little restaurant a 5-star review. My husband and I were indecisive about where to go for dinner on our last day in Edinburgh but we finally settled on this choice. This restaurant turned out to be incredibly well suited for our personalities and taste. It has a small and cozy vibe, the lights are dimmed, very romantic and relaxing. No loud music, just lots of chatter from guests filling the air, easy to have conversations at your table. Well worth the price. We ordered the large 10oz ribeye steak to share, with a side of garlic green beans, a basket of garlic cheese bread, and a salad. We paired it with wine. I was so impressed I went ahead and ordered the sticky toffee pudding with some tea to share with my husband, well, he inhaled it. It was scrumptious. The food was amazing, we enjoyed every single thing. The host and waiter were welcoming, polite, and attentive. Thank you for a lovely dinner! - Ali + Mark :)

Zeer lekker gegeten, ribeye was perfect gebakken. Vriendelijk en attentvol personeel. Aangename, gemoedelijke sfeer.

Booked through OpenTable, when we arrived 13:00 restaurant was empty, outdoor space empty but apologized... they would not accept our 2 year-old son .... Well done Firestone .... 5 5 5 5

This is our go to place for decent steaks. Consistently good with lovely staff.

We would recommend visiting the steakhouse. We arrived on a Friday evening with no booking and we were made welcome. Staff very friendly & food delicious

Really lovely restaurant, rates as one of the best we have been to.
