Located on the 5th floor of Réel Mall, THEFIRE is a charcoal-focused bistro with a rooftop terrace overlooking Jing’an Temple and Nanjing Xi Lu. The menu leans into wood-fired cooking, with a mix of charcoal-grilled meats, creative small plates, and seasonal dishes that feel hearty without being too heavy. Highlights include the pistachio-crusted pork chop, Australian wagyu brisket “dumplings,” giant scallops with risoni pasta, and their signature charcoal chicken and crispy roast duck. While some dishes play it safe with seasoning, the kitchen shows a solid understanding of ingredients and technique, with well-executed grilling, generous portions, and thoughtful presentation. A relaxed spot for a casual Western meal, whether it’s a dinner with friends or a summer night spent on the terrace.
