The BF and I visited Wildfire when we were traveling. This was probably one of the best places we at the whole trip! We had the cullen skink, haggis, Aberdeen steak, and steak and ale pie. We also ended with the sticky toffee pudding. All of it was incredible. The steak was one of the best we have had! The staff was super friendly and lovely to chat with. I highly recommend this place! read more

We could not get in the first time we tried, no reservation, came back the next night, so glad we did!! 3 of my co-workers and I had the best haggis that I've had in Edinburgh, Cullen Skink, yummy thick soup, cream Mushroom soup thick and tasty. For main dishes we had tapas plate, amazing mussels!!! Also had duck confetti. All was great! read more

Try this food on our last night in edinburg. We picked this restaurant randomly since it is close to our hotel. We ordered sirloin steak, fillet salmon and mussels The food is good, the steak is tender and juicy and the salmon is fresh The mussels is tasty Prices is ok quite reasonable for uk standard read more

After a 41/2 hr train trip from London we were keen to taste the local food so jumped on Yelp. We chose the Wildfire as we're keen seafood and steak lovers and the reviews were very good. We chose the smoked haddock chowder and salmon salad for starters. Both were divine, the chowder had a lovely creamy texture and the fish was mildly smoked. For mains we had surf and turf Ribeye (medium rare) with blue cheese sauce and the baked salmon. The steak was cooked perfectly and with a little bit of fat if that's how you like it. The salmon was juicy with the skin quite crispy and well seasoned. We topped it off with sticky toffee pudding & ice cream and the whisky ice-cream- absolutely delish! Highly recommend. read more

This is a very nice restaurant located in the new town neighborhoods. They have a bar area with lots of whisky options, wine, and beers on tap. They are friendly to gluten free and other dietary needs. The standouts are their pies, which seems to be what they are known for. Service is good and the prices seem to be reasonable compared to similar places found in more touristy areas. read more

Very pleasant service and lovely food. My main course of brisket with trimmings was so impressive I forgot to photograph it. It also defeated me and I shamefully left a lot of veg. My companion was impressed by her mussels and steak too. The sticky toffee pudding was also a challenging sized portion but I beat it in the end. Come here and you surely won't be disappointed. read more

Amazing food. Need to book as its tiny. Well worth the visit. Best steak I've ever had

Absolutely fantastic. I had the mussels followed by a rib eye steak. My wife had the pan fried prawns, braised venison casserole and ended with the chocolate cake. Nice atmosphere and staff. Biggest tip would be to book! Seen a lot of people turned away. read more

Based on Yelp scores and that this was convenient to our hotel we sought out this restaurant. Stopped by at lunch to reserve the last opening for dinner service and we were glad we did. Steak and seafood were perfectly cooked, artfully presented and delicious. Best meal we had in a week in Edinburgh read more

Great small venue. Food and service were really good. Lamb shank was slow cooked to "melt in the mouth" perfection. The cheese plate was a thoughtful combination of great quality cheeses. read more

Food was excellent, service was almost attentive. Small and cozy, but our table was not the best situated.

We were wandering through Edinburgh looking for a place to eat with local products and Wildfire struck our interest. I enjoyed the Salmon dinner, a special at the time, and my dinner mates enjoyed the chicken special and the ribeye steak. The whiskey ice cream is a fantastic finish to the meal. Overall it's a charming place with fantastic food. read more

Wildfire is certainly a great place to go for a traditional British dinner. The Haggis for start up was nicely done and lightly presented, in contrast to the heavy contents whilst buttered mushrooms on Chrissy toasties with baby rock and The salad are tasty and fresh. Roast salmon and venison were done beautifully. A finish with a soft, light cheese cake added to the friendly and attentive staff with fabulous service. Great experience! Highly recommend to all. read more

See all

Great place - great food and service. It was crowded but they managed to fit us in. Had a couple steaks - both were cooked as requested and tasted good. Prices are reasonable. Definitely recommend. read more

We were in town for a conference (from the states) and the restaurant was recommended. I like to explore through food, and when we are on a trip we don't eat at the same place twice. HOWEVER, we ate at Wildfire THREE times. It is tiny, so it can be hard to get a table for supper, but that just means that the service is impeccable. Not stuffy and pretentious, but caring and attentive. I was in love! The prawns in garlic butter sauce were absolutely divine. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the sauces amazing. I can't recommend this place more. It was so good we came back multiple times!! read more

Cozy little restaurant on Rose Street. The steak was perfectly cooked and the sides were a good size. Sticky toffee pudding was perfect. Overall the service was fast and attentive, and I would definitely go back. I wish the bread was a little bit fresher though but it wasn't a deal breaker. read more

Delicious and amazing food at a crazy reasonable price considering the quality, location, and atmosphere. Recommend a reservation.

The boyfriend and I went here for lunch on a weekday and we had a great time. Upon walking in the dining area didn't smell very good but within a few minutes the smell went away. There was such a fun mix of people in the room. Young and old, locals and tourists. We both ordered the lunch special and were so happy once our food arrived. The steaks were cooked exactly how we asked and the sides were a great addition. There beer selection was small, but they were quality beers. The Dark Island was fantastic! I hope to go back next time I am craving a steak! The food and service were great! read more

Great food, great staff, great ambience. These people love what they are doing and it shows! Recommended!

A really good, underrated Scottish restaurant with a cosy, homely atmosphere and great food for cheaper prices than a lot of the other Edinburgh restaurants. We regularly have our work Xmas do here. read more

Have always enjoyed my meals at this little gem! It's very small, which I love. Always had a great experience. Would recommend.

Dropped by near closing time as a walk-in (thank you for accommodating me). Had duck leg - It was scalding hot when it arrived, and the sauce almost sickly sweet with the heat, but with some patience it was delicious, and perfectly cooked. Portions were very generous and the service was great. I'd come back again for sure. read more

Had dinner here the other night and the steak was fantastic! My friend's sea bream with veggies were as well very good. We were very well serviced and drinks were flowing. The place was small but enough to accommodate a small group. We were seated immediately. I would highly recommend making reservations as the place was full and there were people coming in continuously but were requested to come back at a certain time. Some came back but it was like 9pm when a table was available. Will definitely go back again. read more

A bit pricey but a wonderful experience none the less. Dinner reservations are highly encouraged. We arrived to find that there was only one table available and that we needed to dine within 90 minutes due to another reservation. Don't get me wrong the owner was very accommodating and went the extra distance seeing that we had a great time. I would definitely recommend to others. read more

Only in a smaller restaurant such as Wildfire can a meal be prepared with so much individual attention. My wife enjoyed a fillet and I a ribeye both cooked perfectly. From starters to dessert each offering was delicious. That staff was very friendly. We look forward to our next visit to beautiful Edinburgh and Wildfire will surely be on the list of must does.

Prime tourist location. Very small 'cosy' restaurant. Unfussy gastropub style menu.prompt pleasing service. Chowder about £6.50, steaks about £18-25. Good value set lunch menu.Very busy pre rugby match good atmosphere read more

Excellent food and great service. Great deals on lunch menu, highly recommend this gem.

Overall a good place. I am sure you won't be disappointed. Inside was nice and cosy with at most 10 tables. We came un-invited and just in time. The place seems to be very popular with locals so it was fully booked after we snatched the last table for 2. A ribeye stake for the main and a haggis starter were the highlights. The stake is a definitely a good one though not the best i tried in my life, but very tasty and there was no need for any sauce which is a good sign. The whole experience was very pleasant but it didn't tip the scale towards 5*, 4.5 for sure. read more

This is an fun, amazing and cozy restaurant. The steak was prepared perfectly and the quality of the entire experience was excellent. The service is very attentive and the staff don't stop moving serving and taking care of their customers. It's intimate, not too expensive compared to other restaurants for the quality of food and service. They also accommodated food sensitivity requests easily. Next visit to Edinburgh will include a visit to Wildfire. read more

Wildfire is a relatively new Scottish Steak and Seafood bistro and I can honestly say, the fillet steak with pepper sauce was the best I have ever had! The steak is Aberdeen Angus and cooked just the way you like it. The staff are all very friendly and professional and whilst being attentive, you never feel rushed. It is fairly small so booking is recommended, especially at the weekend. Lunch is also available and there are often lovely seasonal specials on the menu. I'm already planning my next visit. read more

Fantastic rib eye steaks, reasonable priced, wonderful service. This was an out of the way place we stumbled upon but we are so glad we did. WHAT A GREAT FIND! read more

This was a recommendation from our hotel (Nira Caledonia - also wonderful). We ordered a variety of dishes - soup, seafood, vegetarian, scottish pie, duck ... all were delicious. The people are so kind as well - and made for a really memorable dinner. I'd definitely come back and eat here on my next trip to Edinburgh. read more

Been to this restaurant quite a few times. Always great food and great service. Top marks :)

For our quick journey through Edinburgh, we wanted some proper Scottish steak. Wildfire did not disappoint. Greatly done steak, with good fries and great seasoning. The prawns with the surf and turf were great! Awesome place, although a bit pricey! Also, for dessert, try the whisky, honey, and oat ice cream. read more

Fantastic, intimate restaurant featuring modern takes on traditional Scottish dishes. Tasty Cullen Skink (? -- fish chowder), delicious Scottish beef. The small restaurant fills quickly -- make reservations before you go. Seek out this spot. read more

Scotland's larder produces the food that is then cooked to perfection whilst being fairly priced! As a regular, I can vouch for the excellent service, seasonal menus and I recommend Wildfire to everyone I know! My favourite is well-done steak and it is often difficult to get a steak cooked that retains the flavour and moisture. At Wildfire you get exactly cooked steak, to your liking and the most flavoursome moist texture that seldom needs a sharp knife. As the daughter, granddaughter and great grandaughter of Master Butchers, I know the difference and have a very high expectation. Wildfire never disappoints. Well worth booking due to the popularity. Lunches can be two or three course for people in a hurry, but once you try the starter you'll just want more and more. Everything freshly prepared and such a wonderful choice, you too will return again and again! read more

I took my fiance here when we got engaged and it was amazing! Can't fault the food at all, I had one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. The only downside is that the restaurant is so tiny and we were at the table smack bang in the middle of the room so it wasn't a very intimate experience with people going around us in all directions. However the food was divine and the service was perfect attentive but not over the top. read more
