The Cellar Door

We hebben genoten van de taste of Scotland, prima bediening.

I was pretty disappointed tonight to be honest! I had raved about your restaurant to my mum who is a big foodie, and booked it for us after a day out wedding shopping. We both had high expectations based on my past experience. The service was very slow. We both had soup to start which was bland. Our mains were eventually served 20 minutes later, and we had ordered a side portion of vegetables to share. I reminded the waitress of this when the mains came and she said they would be with us soon, however we finished our mains and still no side. I had to call over another waitress and ask her to cancel them. Once our main plates were cleared, the waitress asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu. I politely declined as we still had a large glass of red wine each to finish, and within 1 minute (the quickest service all night!) our bill was placed on our table… when we hadn’t asked for it! Our main courses were lovely but not a great experience and I’m gutted after planning it for my mum who usually chooses our restaurants!

Nice place, scottish food, very good location. Really we recommended it.

Amazing food and service! Great vegan options! Waiting staff super friendly and fast service

Excellent service, lovely food and restaurant. The restaurant is a compact venue and as it fills with diners it became quite noisy and found it difficult to have a conversation. Other than this I would return maybe a little earlier in the day.

The restaurant was quiet when we arrived early evening but soon filled up. The food was delicious

Bang average food unfortunately. Felt swamped by the staff trying to get our order out. Starter and main finished within 35 minutes of sitting down. Not a fine dinging experience and glad we didn’t do the tasting menu in the end.

The food was truly delicious and the service were wonderful!

Food was delicious, not much atmosphere although we were a bit early perhaps, maybe slightly cool room? Overall a good dinner, on the spenny side but where isn’t nowadays!

It was a charming restaurant. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was delicious. Thanks so much!

Great staff and value for money. Actual food wasnt amazing

At least 10 words. Good, great service, tasty food like

Staff very attentive and well informed Very good value taster menus

Food was outstanding. Service was a little slow, but we relaxed and enjoyed the atmosphere.

Expensive food, poor service. No smiles from the staff. Will not recommend this place.

The environment was too loud. The white wine was served in a red wine glass. The food was okay, nothing special. It's worth to mention that we did not try the 6 Scottish dish menu.

Very good friendly service. Not a large selection but good food and good wine selection.

Great food and atmosphere. Even when rally busy with the Fringe being on

It was rushed, food was cold. We had been so looking forward to this experience but felt we were on a conveyor belt. I hadn’t drunk my gin fizz before they had brought out the next course and wine to our table. Couple of highlights…the canapé for me and the lemon posset for my husband. The venison might have been very nice but it was cold but according to the waitress that was how it was supposed to be! Dessert wine undrinkable. Feel totally ripped off

In Cambridge, which where I live, there is a restaurant described as 'shabby chique'. Let's stick with that. However the food was all quite superb. I had the 6 course tasting menu, and all courses were wonderful. The flight of wines was equally good. The only thing which puzzled me was the price. How on earth do you manage to produce food of this quality for the what for these days is a very low price!

Staff were lovely, very knowledgeable and I think the Tasting menu is great value for money.

This was the best restaurant meal I had in Edinburgh for my recent trip. I had a perfectly done sea trout which was tremendously delicious and the most perfectly crisp skin which u can hear crackle with each bite. The risotto was also spot on and even the side was good. The hasselback potatoes were amazing. Baked to perfection and tremendously tasty. A great meal!

Great service and fantastic food. We tried the vegetarian taster menu with different wines - absolutely brilliant experience! Highly recommend this restaurant for visitors to Edinburgh.

Great Food and Service. We will definitely be going back.

Excellent service and wonderful food. We would definitely go again

Honestly nothing too impressive and slightly over priced Undeniably steak and hand cut chips were nice, and really substantial. Portion size was good and wait staff was friendly, helpful

Lovely food. Great staff and a lovely atmosphere. we will be back … and soon.

Lovely service and amazing food. Relaxing dining, in this super wee restaurant

I originally booked for 4, not realising we would be 6, but tables were quickly rearranged for us and we had a nice quiet corner to relax in. The food and wine were all delicious, especially the sea trout with curried mussels and the venison. It's a little on the expensive side, but perfect for what was a special occasion meeting up with old friends up for the weekend. The staff were great, nothing was too much trouble and were very obliging.

An absolutely glorious meal , recommend the tasting menu with the wines ….. delicious and great staff……a hidden gem .

Lovely experience , staff were great , freindly and amazing food , I'm a big eater , there could have been more

Visited for the first time for our wedding anniversary. Staff were really lovely and welcoming. We chose the 6 course tasting menu and my husband had the paired wines. Food was excellent and my husband said the wines went well. The haggis course was both our favourites, It was amazing. I have to be honest though the pork main dish was a little dry and for that reason it wasn’t perfect. It wouldn’t put me off and we will return and I recommend to others to try. At £49 for a 6 course tasting menu great value.

Extremely small portions, overall bland flavours, very disappointing, staff were very good.

All the staff were lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful. Both me and my mum loved our visit and will be recommending it to our friends and family

Our food was delicious, innovative and interesting. Service was exceptional. A meal to remember.

Lovely food and friendly attentive staff. Good value for money

Fantastic service, fantastic food, no more needs to be said

Thoroughly enjoyed the evening, the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly

Friendly helpful staff Amazing tasting menu Fabulous food and service

Lovely venue. Really nice staff. Very tasty food. Would go back.

Very good waiting service from Sophie, Charlotte and Lydia - thank you!

Warm welcome, tasty food, wines and amazing service. Fantastic experience.

We had an amazing tasting meal at The Cellar Door. Lorna, Sophie and Lydia looked after us and cared that we enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended this place

Lovely atmosphere. Delicious food and pairing wines. Attentive and friendly staff.

Loved every minute of our visit. Felt personally attended to, quick service. Gorgeous setting. Food top notch as where our cocktails. Made my husband birthday a special occasion. Will be back next time we visit Edinburgh x x

We arrived a bit early and were easily accommodated and once seated provided with our menus. The options were clearly explained to us and we were left to make our decisions whilst the member of staff got our prosecco. As this was a tasting menu, there was no choice but that did not at all detract from our experience. The food was lovely and service excellent, no rush between courses and always asked if we wanted to wait a few minutes between each course. I elected for the wine pairing, the Katherine Hills, Shiraz was lovely. This was a lovely meal and worth a visit.

Gorgeous taster menu in a beautiful location. Easy to find and very easy to access if you are staying in town.

lovely place and amazing atmosphere. wasn't high up on the beetroot starter - it's mainly just chopped beetroot! but the mains were superb and after a yr with no steak that was worth the wait - yum :)

We enjoyed being able to return for a meal. Lovely meal and some of the staff the same

We booked early, 6pm, and it was quite quiet so not the usual buzz of chatter. Not the restaurant’s fault! We visit twice a year as we visit Edinburgh twice a year. It was great to see they had survived Covid, same owner, friendly and made to feel very welcome. Thank you.
