Man On Fire

Man On Fire built a strong reputation on Portobello High Street over nearly a decade as one of the few takeaways in Edinburgh's seaside suburb to take American-style burgers seriously. The kitchen makes its patties from a beef-and-pork blend, and reviewers consistently pick out the burger build quality — proper buns, fresh toppings — as the reason to return. Peri peri chicken wings, a rotating mac and cheese range, and fudge brownie desserts fill out a menu that has more range than the standard local takeaway. Google reviews aggregate at 4.4 out of 5. The restaurant sits opposite the Portobello Bar on the upper stretch of the High Street, easily reachable on foot from the beach promenade and the residential streets towards Joppa. Delivery is available through the shop's own website. It has operated as a landmark for burger-focused takeaway in this part of Edinburgh's coastal suburb.
