A Dundee street was taped off after a fire in a restaurant kitchen.

Firefighters were called to Vandal & Co on Exchange Street after a kitchen fire on Wednesday afternoon.

Two crews from Kingsway and Balmossie were sent to the scene at around 4pm.

The restaurant was shut due to the fire.

Nobody was injured in the blaze and Vandal & Co says it will reopen at 4pm on Thursday.

Dundee restaurant Vandal & Co closed after kitchen fire

A post on the restaurant’s Facebook page said: “We had a small fire today just before we opened for service, this resulted in us not opening and most likely causing traffic chaos on Exchange Street.

“Thankfully nobody was injured and we have only suffered the loss of a piece of equipment.

“Our team handled the situation efficiently and calmly, containing the fire and calling the fire brigade, who attended swiftly and done an amazing job.

“Sorry for those who were booked in this evening or planning on visiting, we hope to reopen tomorrow at 4pm.”

One passer-by said the street had been taped off, with staff speaking to firefighters outside.

“There’s around 10 firefighters waiting outside the restaurant.

“Staff are outside speaking with one of the firefighters.

“It doesn’t look too bad, the staff seem pretty calm over the situation.”
