The Cellar Door

Excellent food. Good varied menu all cooked quite superbly. Staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Restaurant was comfortable and had a really nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Service friendly and excellent with nothing to much trouble. The meal was terrific and excellent value. We have already recommended the cellar door to all our friends and looking forward to going back in the future.

Highest rating for the starter, a tartlet of asparagus, tomato and goat cheese. The rib eye was fine, but unexceptional. Noise level was moderate, service excellent.q

Lovely smiling and knowledgeable staff along with relatively quick service. Easy to book dinner online. Only downside was the recommended main course (a seafood sharing fish off the specials menu) was a bit dry. Waitress did acknowledge the comments we made and said they'd be passed on to the chef. As an apology, we did receive a discount on the bill, which was good of them.

The food was anazing and the staff were lovely...just a little slow than eouls have been expected for a business lunch Very highly recommended 😊

Sehr nettes kleines Restaurant, in dem man gepflegt typisch schottisch essen kann. Wir waren mit der Qualität der Speisen sowie dem freundlichen Service sehr zufrieden.

Set lunch menu great food excellent value and terrific service I will go back as location very good and atmosphere was good at lunchtime and imagine better at night Tony

Delicious food very nicely served. Pleasant staff and smart decor. Restaurant was quiet at lunchtime and deserves to be busier, particularly in such a prime location.

Great meal and our server was fantastic...menu is focused so check to see if they have something that tickles your fancy. This is the restaurant for those who seek out the unique and not run of the mill...give them a try...we loved it!

Gentilissimi all'accoglienza, posto romantico e intimo. Cibo squisito e gustoso, sia il pollo che il pesce. Alla fine, per il compleanno di mia moglie, hanno anche portato il dolce con con una simpatica candelina...

Food and Atmosphere quite nice our meal was mucked up a little but was ok. the staff were very friendly and helpful. restaurant was cosy

Amazing food. Really good use of colours, flavours and textures. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Endinburgh, one of the best meals I've had in a long time.

Very disappointing. Chicken satay and avocado for starter was served without avocado!! Starters were only warm. Table of 7 next to us also served wrong starters. We won't be back.

Staff were really friendly and the food was great. Was a great find and have passed it on to some friends who were going up next weekend

Each course was delicious and well presented. I appreciated that the courses were good portions, but not overwhelmingly large. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Superb food. We came here two years ago when we visited Edinburgh as a work friend recommend and we wasn't disappointed. We had to visit The Cellar Door again. Staff was amazing, took the time to talk to you and made you feel welcome. Definitely worth a visit!

A real find. Great mix of cuisines from Scotland and Europe with a bit of Asian thrown in. Beautifully presented and served. We'll be back on our next visit to Edinburgh.

The staff very friendly menu small but adequate. Enough on the a la carte and the set menu which is very reasonable. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would with this experience of going back.

Professional attention. Prompt service. Delicious meal. Everything was brilliant - our every need attended to. We had a deadline to eat by and the service and meal were still outstanding.

Good food, good service, friendly staff. What more can anyone ask for? We had a good dinner and a nice conversation with our server. I would come back here again if I'm in Edinburgh.

Food was great, service was great. Only small issue was cost of one of kids desserts £6 for 3 scoops of ice cream when my other daughters cost £2 - just because she had a starter and main course off adult menu.

Lovely place and friendly staff. Nice relaxed atmosphere, good food, we've been several times and will keep coming back. This place is one of Edinburgh's gems.

This was our third visiting and once again the food was excellent, the staff are so welcoming and friendly. What more can you ask for. Planning a return visit for Easter. Excellent restaurant.

Set menu is great value, the food is a really high standard and the wine very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend this restaurant to both guests and locals

Restaurant a bit chaotic-stag party in-mistakes being made but food good, main courses especially, and pleasant waitress. It was okay but expensive-wouldn't be in too much of a hurry to return.

Nice restaurant. Food was good without being great. Staff were friendly but very busy so there was a bit of a wait to get served.

The food was excellent and interesting. Starters of cauliflower 3 ways and pork terrine were packed with flavour and mains of chicken with haggis and haddock risotto were equally great. Service friendly and efficient. A very underrated restaurant which deserves to succeed.

Lovely hidden gem and cozy restaurant. Food was well presented and delicious. Would definitely recommend this place if you want to try authentic Scottish cuisine.

Intriguing venue in a central location but, as the name suggests, you need to be able to climb stairs! Good food, helpful and friendly staff. Good value too.

Excellent meal and first class service. Will certainly be back.Arrived early for meal but no problem. The venison was fantastic and the rhubarb crime brûlée best ever.

Food was excellent, great menu choice. Service was excellent, very helpful and efficient despite restaurant being busy? A great place to eat, drink and meet up with friends.

Very enjoyable lunch , friendly staff and good food.The restaurant is very pleasant and had a very nice set lunch menu with good choice of wines and beers.

most of the dishes we ordered were too heavily salted and my chips were cut very unevenly in size (and not uniformly cooked through as a result).

Amazing small restaurant, food was outstanding and the staff were ever so friendly and helpful. That's my second visit and will definitely be back next time I visit Edinburgh. Excellent 👍🏻

The people next to us where completely drunk and loud that we could not even understand each other's while we were speaking. The food was delicious

Food and evening was excellent. Problems with electronic payment system made this part of the evening frustrating. Glad we were not running for a train

Fantastic restaurant right in the heart of the city. The food was excellent, the staff were the most attentive I've ever experienced and the surroundings were beautiful. We will definitely be coming back and I would highly recommend a visit.

Food and service were excellent. Venison cooked to perfection. Homemade rum & raisin ice cream was excellent. Definitely a place to visit when in Edinburgh

Good traditional Scottish menu and friendly staff. The service was really quick. And the best sticky toffee pudding I have ever had. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent Scottish food with a divers menu. Service was friendly and prompt. Value was outstanding, other equal meals were 4 times the price...great local gem.

Superb food and excellent, friendly service. Highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to visiting again soon. Excellent value for money and convenient city centre location

Making the reservation was easy and the table was ready. I had completely overlooked the fact that there would be Christmas parties in progress and the noise (at first) was deafening. However, I enjoyed the atmosphere. The food (sweet potato soup, chicken with haggis stovies) that I ate was very good. In the circumstances the service was outstanding. Stephanie (university student) and Lorna were very attentive. Well done!

A fantastic Scottish restaurant it is just off the royal mile, the food was wonderful and the place is full of ambience, the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable, we have eaten here every time we go to Edinburgh. a nice restaurant to visit and eat.

Very noisy under the low ceilings at the side. Bit of a wait between courses. Food generally good but puddings a disappointment. Wine Reasonably priced and quite pleasant.

we will be back. next time we Are in Edinburgh. see u soon. food so so so so good. and the service is so so good.

Food and service was great. We sat upstairs, there are only 3 tables though. Originally, we were going to sit downstairs, but our table wasn't quite ready as we had only just booked 30 minutes before. We were glad to just stay upstairs as the noise level was so great downstairs. Not just people, but music that was foreground not background. How does this music help the dining experience I wonder? Would go back as food was really good, but not on a Saturday night.

Good service, well presented food (veggie haggis burger - very good), and liked the decor. Below Street level, but plenty of light from large windows. Recommended!

Great informal dinner with friends. Food was good and decent value. Food and drinks menu were both varied with pleny of choice. Staff were attentive and knowledgeable.

Lovely food and fantastic service. Between the fifive of us we had a range of dishes and they were all exceptional. I could not rate this restaurant higher.

The Cellar Door is without a doubt one of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh. The atmosphere and staff are both very welcoming, and the staff extremely knowledgeable about the food on offer. I had Cauliflower Three Ways, followed by butternut squash and red pepper risotto with blue cheese pearls, followed by Highland Sticky Toffee pudding, all of which were delicious! Would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be returning, hopefully sooner rather than later!
