The Cellar Door

It was a great welcome that we received, the room was simple and yet elegant and so was the food. very good price quality ration and the waitress gave us twice excellent recommendations. overall great experience and strongly recommend it

Thoroughly enjoyed meal. Staff attention was superb. This is second time at the Cellar Door and was not disappointed. Well worth a visit, or two.

Great food, good pricing . Stella was great server- ask for the Six Grapes Port she recommended- great way to end the meal. Excellent dinner

The staff was very kind and helpful. We didn't have to wait long for the food, but the food was not spectacular, just good. The stairs to go down the restaurant is an issue for older people.

The staff were friendly but they got a few things wrong with our orders. Food was okay but not brilliant, sorry but we left feeling that we probably wouldn't try it again.

It was super busy when we arrived and it took a little time to be greeted, but once we were seated the service was excellent and the food was fantastic. A favourite place to go to and they didn’t disappoint. The staff are all very friendly which makes a visit all the more enjoyable.

Excellent atmosphere, great, friendly service and really good food. I highly recommend this cute, hidden gem. They make a very nice Bloody Mary to boot.

Food wasn't great at all, £14 for a haggis neeps and tatties main, portion was tiny, hardly any haggis on the plate, and what was there was dry.Could have made better myself at home....

Good food, good company and good service. First time at Cellar door for one couple and they were very happy with the choice or restuarant and quaility of food and wine.

Disappointing. Have been before when choice and quality was much better. Chose fish and chips -chips were poorly cooked. However, sticky toffee pudding was excellent. Staff friendly but felt a little rushed. Will not rush back.

Amazingly busy during the festival and the food was incredible as were the staff, a great experience all round. I’d especially recommend the venison 👍

There was a great atmosphere and excellent food. Service was friendly and engaging. A great experience and a wonderful place to go. Highly recommend it to everyone.

Lovely welcome. All the staff were great and the food was delicious. Its our 4th visit to The Cellar Door and we will definitely be returning again.

Great food, great service. I would definitely recommend. Be sure to try the haggis starter. It is wonderful. Changed my opinion of haggis. Request seating in loft if available.

The food and service at The Cellar Door are always outstanding! Both adults and kids in the group were delighted with the lunch. The atmosphere is always so nice too!

The food was tasty and the service was good. We all enjoyed it. I was there two nights in a row with different people. Clean plates all round - 10 meals in all!

The food and service were excellent, the best in Edinburgh 💕. Prompt service, helpful staff, haggis was awesome, pork loin excellent, the burger with extra haggis fabulous. Would highly recommend

Food was good, dessert (chocolate ganache) was delicious. Prices were reasonable for Edinburgh during the Fringe. Service was friendly. Would go again in the future.

Excellent freshly sourced food served by a friendly team. Portion sizes were just right. Both food and wine represented good value, related to the good quality.

This was a delight for my 6 companions and after a performance at The Edinburgh Festival. The salmon, venison and polenta dishes were all appreciated and the chocolate ganache was sublime. As a group of singers we loved the background music and gave an impromptu performance for staff! Will definitely return.

Perfect in every way, lovely atmosphere, great service, friendly and attentive while unobtrusive, with delicious quality food. Have visited before and will do so again.

Overall this was a great lunch. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. Great price for two courses. Ticks all the boxes.

YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR THE SET MENU IT IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE. THE FOOD WAS GOOD HOWEVER NOT A LOT ON THE PLATE. THE STARTER LOOKED AS IF IT HAD BEEN ONE PORTION MADE INTO TWO HALF PORTIONS AS DID DESSERT. SAVING GRACE WAS THE PULLED PORK ROLL! WATCH OUT FOR ADDED GRATUITIES HAD BOOKED TO RETURN NEXT WEEK BUT WILL BE CANCELLING

Very disappointing. On arrival, bad sign was there was a chap standing outside the restaurant handing out cards to passers-by, trying to drum up business (like you get abroad). That was worrying and sadly our fears were well grounded. We asked for drinks outside first and waited so long for our order to be taken that we had to go inside and place it ourselves! Then a pretty long wait for them to come. Food was average and really overpriced for hat it was. Fish & chips looked like it had come from our local 'chippie' , according to my friend who had it, it wasn't as good and it cost about £14 (I think). My sticky toffee pudding was one of the worst I've had. Found the waitress's efforts to sell more (sides / port with desserts) a bit desperate. Smacked of trying too hard. Sorry, but they need help to get this place on track.

Wonderful experience as usual: the food was delicious and the service superb (we had a lovely girl from Crema who looked after us in an excellent way). I will certainly be back with other customers!

We sat in the small area upstairs but the service was good and cooler than downstairs. The food was excellent and great service which only tapered off near the end as they started to tidy up downstairs. The lost mark was because of this as we said we wanted a desert but got the bill. This was sorted but when I was asked to pay with the machine the bill was downstairs and the waitress wanted me to pay without seeing the bill ! Minor glitch which was resolved on what was a nice evening.

I had dinner with a friend on Saturday 14th July, table booked for 7.15pm. Our server was Julia and she couldn't have been more helpful with menu suggestions and lots of knowledge regarding the ingredient in certain menu choices as my friend is gluten/wheat intolerant. Food was excellent and nicely presented. Overall a fantastic first visit and I know I will definitely be back. Julia has certainly played a large part in my decision to return.

enjoyed our meal, good ambience, staff very polite and accommodating, great service, we would definitely go back, had the set menu which was great value and good wine list

A great meal with excellent service for us and our friends visiting from Australia. Would have been perfect if the table wasn't right next to the toilet door.

Called in for early meal as we had tour booked later, the meal was excellent and the staff member who serves us was friendly and informative. Thanks

Excellent food such good value Restaurant is a bit hidden but worth searching for £15 for a fabulous 3 course lunch with goid service make it worthwhile

Tried the restaurant for a work lunch first time a few months ago...and fell in love with it! The food is locally sourced and always fresh. A great place

It is always a pleasure to eat at The Cellar door. The quality of the food is outstanding, and so is the service! Surely my favourite place in Edinburgh!

Lovely restaurant with great staff. Food was excellent - had fish and chips which was really tasty and sticky toffee pudding which was amazing! Would definitely recommend and would return.

Best food for the price in Edinburgh. Will be back soon

Staff was above and beyond all expectation and the food was delicious! We had trouble waiting for a guest that never arrived and our first wine was corked and replaced no problem. I highly recommend coming here!

We went down a lot of stairs to a rather dark ambience. The restaurant was very quiet on a Friday lunchtime, surprisingly so with a lot of folk walking around on Geo 1V Bridge in Edinburgh & The General Assembly on with 700 attendees. A young lady had greeted us at street level handing out cards giving 10% off. The service of food was not quick, given only 2or 3 other tables occupied but the prix fixee menu food was good especially the fish , chips (hand cut) and pea puree. The desserts were limited but there were no wafers with the ice cream or sorbets which I found very disappointing as I always like to have wafers or similar with my ice cream or sorbet. The bill was quite reasonable but despite having the 10% off card we were told that the "special" lunch menu took account of this so it did not apply. Overall it was ok for a lunch but anyone with walking difficulties would find the stairs a problem. There were a couple of tables at street level but one would feel quite isolated eating there. The waitress was very attentive but should have known what flavours of ice creams & sorbets were on offer without having to go and ask. With a plethora of eating places around here we felt that the location & ambience did not match up to others but the food we had was good value and freshly cooked and well presented.

This is a gem of a restaurant! Serves a brilliant Scottish menu, really well cooked and presented. Very friendly staff. Comfortable, clean with a relaxed ambience. Highly recommended.

Wonderful food at a great cosy table. The Cullen skink was simply delicious and all four of us had clean plates after all 3 courses. Service was excellent too.

We came here for my Mum's 80th birthday, and the restaurant could not have been more welcoming or made more of a fuss of her. From a warm welcome to the birthday girl at the door (I had pre-warned them when I booked), to a complimentary glass of prosecco and a beautiful happy birthday message on her dessert, they made her feel so special from start to finish. The decor and food were lovely; this really was a very nice restaurant. Highly recommended.

Great Scottish dishes at reasonable prices. Very friendly service. We will be back one Day.

Beautiful restaurant. Small and intimate, class servers, Nice choice of food and wine and a very pleasant ambience. Would definitely recommend and I look forward to dining there again

Great atmosphere, really busy but No rush for table, staff excellent, really knowledgeable and friendly, very approachable. Menu good prices reasonably good too. Would recommend this restaurant to my friends

What a fabulous Resturant, friendly staff, great ambiance and as for the food, flavours wonderful and lovely Scottish twists. We loved the pudding a cheesecake based on a Scottish dessert. Cranachan - hmmm

Ein sehr nettes Lokal mitten in Edinburgh. Essen war lecker und wir hatten einen schönen Abend.

Waiter kept ‘bouncing’ around us, took our plates away very quickly. All seemed very rushed. Food was ‘ok’ compared to our last visit. Too many other places to eat/try before I’d come back. Sorry.

Excellent restaurant. Staff are very friendly and were very helpful in advising us what to eat from their menu selection. They were also very helpful with advising us in what wines to select.

The restaurant looks amazing. The food taste really good and look very presentable. I will highly recommend the place. But I do think the portions are small. I will go again. I love the haggis as a starter and venison steak as main.

Great food and really nice atmosphere. The staff were friendly and efficient. Limited menu choice, but a varied mix of high quality food. I will definitely go again.

The staffs are pleasant and friendly. Food is decent and it goes well with the wine. The ambience of the restaurant is quiet and enjoyable.
