Firepop

My partner and I celebrated our anniversary at Firepop last night, seated at the chef’s table — and what a wonderful experience it was. Watching each dish come together with such care and precision added a whole new dimension to the meal. We chose the set menu, along with a few extras, and every single dish was exceptional. The ingredients were fresh, each course perfectly cooked, and the flavours beautifully balanced. The Angus beef ‘accordion’ steak was the best we’ve ever had! The chefs shared insights into each creation as they served it, making the experience feel personal and truly special. Service was friendly and attentive. The extensive wine list was an added bonus and paired wonderfully with the food. We really enjoyed our evening and would highly recommend Firepop to anyone looking for more than just dinner — it’s a culinary experience.

Nice dining experience with very good service and great selection of wines. For me the food did not cut it. The course was too fatty and overly charcoal flavour on most of the meat. This spot was hyped up so much to me but the food did not live up to the hype. Decent place, nothing special

One of the most delicious meals I can remember - the classic set menu was not only exceptional value for money but a most generous variety and quality - the sugar snap peas, steak and lamb skewers are to die for. 11/10 experience

Put this one on the List. What a menu, what choice and where to stop. Had the Classic Menu $80 and added other incredible dishes such as the scallops and the pork belly. The staff were knowledgeable and knew what they were serving and extremely polite. Have to give a mention to the Red Snapper from NZ not to miss.

My partner and I recently enjoyed a delightful Thursday evening at Firepop in Enmore. The staff were exceptional—warm, friendly, and impressively knowledgeable about every aspect of the menu. The menu showcased a variety of dishes cooked over fire, each presented with care and precision. The pacing of the courses was spot-on.  Overall, our visit to Firepop was thoroughly enjoyable. The combination of excellent food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere made for a memorable evening. We look forward to returning soon and exploring more of what Firepop has to offer.

We visited this restaurant for the wine pairing with Wilimee wines. It felt like a private dining experience that had been carefully crafted with attention to detail and outstanding service. We are very impressed and we loved having Ben tell us about the wine pairing! Thank you!

The food is good but for what it is it’s expensive. The corn rib entree was packed with flavour for sure. I had the pork belly, lamb and the octopus skewers and they were all packed with flavour and cooked well. The iceberg lettuce salad added a nice freshness. Absolutely zero vibe in the upstairs area. I was seated all by myself and told the downstairs was booked although when walking through it was empty and when I left all the tables were empty except for three seats at the bar. When I mentioned it, a while later I was told a place at the chefs table opened up. But once people are settled, what’s the point in moving and trudging up and down step stairs that are super sketchy? I feel like this needs to be mentioned on the booking or the website especially for people that may be a little older or have difficulty navigating stairs. The whole seating was just weird the areas are mismatched - bar area and walkway is slick modern, the seating and tables are a mix of modern and French country bistro. And the carpet just makes the place feel run down and worn, the whole aesthetic is all over the place. Overall it’s the food is good but pricey. The service was fine, server was sweet but a bit pushy, over checking if I wanted to order more food or drinks. The vibe is low upstairs, seats are uncomfortable (maybe the booth / bench is better). Music a bit too loud. Downstairs and the bar section looked much more slick and cool. I feel like this is a one and done situ as no matter how tasty the food is, if the atmosphere is lacking it’s hard to justify a repeat visit.

I WILL DEFINITELY NOT COME BACK OR RECOMMEND any of my friends to try Firepop!!! There was so many issues when I visited for my birthday celebration. Just to point out a few, one the wrong menu was given to us in the beginning. They initially gave us the 'old' set menu. So when our first dish came out we were all confused with it. Wondering what it was or did they just give the dish in a differently arranged order that we didn't know. So we had asked one of the staff and he told us it was a 'Wagyu Toast' and that he would check with the kitchen that he had the name of the dish correctly... then 5 minutes the original staff who gave us the dining menu, apologised and said he gave us the old menu earlier. So the 'Wagyu Toast was on their 'new' menu. That's was fine we all make human errors everyday. The next main issue was their fish dish, which you can see in the photo there was not 1 or 2 fish bones but MULTIPLE fish bones, we were so lucky the bones were so noticable and big enough to see them before putting that fish into our mouths. Otherwise something serious would have happened if any of us had choked into those bones. We had mentioned this issue to their manager, Alina, and her response was so unprofessional and simple - "that's just a human error"!!?? I mean really??! This is a one hat restaurant and we received this kind of response from them which was just unbelievable. The last main issue, was paying for the bill. Initially when the staff gave us the EFTPOS machine to pay, the total was $835 on the EFTPOS machine ($140pp for the set menu plus drinks and add ons) we tried paying with debit card NOT CREDIT card!! But there was issues with it for some reason who knows... so when we retried paying the second time, this time they charged us an extra 1.8% CREDIT CARD surcharge!!? Which shouldn't have been changed because we paid with debit card and didn't 'tap' instead we inserted the card so it could be processed under debit savings account. Again we raised the issue to Alina and she said the 1.8% surcharge was mentioned on the menu and said we should have seen it. Yes we did see it. But it only say 1.8% Surcharge for CREDIT CARDS not Mastercard or Debit Cards.... Overall we weren't happy with the entire food experience at Firepop. It was not a memorable experience at all. It was so disappointed hoping I would have a good time for my birthday.
