Flame, Flavour,
Fire Baby.

“At Fire Baby we are passionate about our ingredients, and the flavours we develop. Cooking over charcoal creates an additional dimension in our flavour profiles and adds a fiery kiss to each dish. It’s the signature for the unforgettable experience that we aim to bring.”

– Chef Bradley

Ignite your senses

Located in Southport, Fire Baby is a contemporary restaurant offering two distinct dining experiences under one roof, a casual Italian Pizzeria & Bar and EMBER, a Fire Kitchen where dishes are expertly cooked with fire.

At its core, Fire Baby Pizzeria celebrates the spirit of Italy with wood-fired pizzas crafted from premium ingredients using time-honoured techniques. Ember adds a bold dimension, showcasing Australian and international cuisine cooked over open flame, from charcoal to wood-fired methods. From the warm glow of the embers to the joy of sharing great food, Fire Baby brings together authentic Napoli-style pizzas and Ember’s flame-cooked creations in vibrant flavours, with every dish telling its own story.

Please note: Because we use only the freshest, seasonal ingredients and love to innovate, our menus are subject to change.
A modern brick building with large windows and a red neon "FIRE BABY" sign sits on the roof. Enjoy plants and outdoor seating at this Southport restaurant, known for its striped awnings and lively charcoal-grilled dining experience.
