Crews were called to the fire, which was in a bin store, off King Street, at around 10pm.
The blaze is believed to have been started deliberately.
The nearby Koummune restaurant had to be evacuated as a result because the fire started near an extractor system, which then brought smoke into the building.
The fire service sent two appliances who were able to get the fire under control quickly and then ventilated the building.
