The Cellar Door

Lovely food, good service. Really warm and comfortable feel to restaurant. We weren’t rushed and enjoyed a very pleasant leisurely meal. Would definitely go back.

Really nice restaurant and the food was excellent. Friendly and helpful staff, the restaurant was busy without being overcrowded. Very imaginative menu and reasonably priced.

Lovely restaurant. The food was amazing especially the gnocchi. Not a big menu but had a good choice on it. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Slow service, average food. Had to wait a while for each course and repeat order several times. Wouldn't return, much better places to go for Scottish cuisine

Tasty food. warm welcome. Warm room. Our waiter was particularly helpful and friendly without being over familiar. We don't particularly like being called " guys " but we've given that one up.

Good food and very friendly staff. The Cullen skink starter was especially good. It was a real benefit that the restaurant was open from late afternoon as it meant we could have an unrushed pre-theatre meal. Will definitely go back.

Very enjoyable. Friendly and helpful staff. Good food well cooked well presented. Would recommend to my friends to go when visiting Edinburgh for the day.

Mixed feelings on starters some not hot enough. We felt rushed and had starters and mains in under an hour. Errors made with drinks. Have ate here before and service was a lot better maybe just a bad night.

We went for a romantic meal and didn't disappoint. Amazing food and super friendly staff, we really enjoyed the experience. Great Scottish products and beers, we highly recommended!

Great Scottish food and excellent service. we will definitely be returning there again, Best to book a table as it was fully booked last night.

The Cellar Door serves delicious food. It’s a homely environment with friendly and attentive staff who ensure a very speedy service and make sure you have everything that you need.

Very enjoyable experience. Would always recommend for a friend in Edinburgh.

Great food, atmosphere is relaxed and staff were very helpful. A gem amongst the rocks. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for a Scottish dining experience

We Visited on a Saturday night. Super food, atmosphere and service at the Cellar Door/. We would particularly recommend the venison. Great wine selection too.

Very good food and service, staff friendly and helpful. Venison was outstanding. Menu is small but had seafood and vegetarian selections. Cozy below street location. Will be back

Excellent meal. Very good food and service. Enjoyed the haggis starter and the venison steak was great. Recommend - particularly for pre theatre meal before going to Festival theatre

Fantastic meal and service, small and cosy feel about the restaurant...best dinner I have had in a long time...will definitely reccomend to all my family and friends

Perfect 80th Birthday dinner for Mum, daughter and grand daughter. Food delicious and well presented ample portions. Staff friendly and attentive - will definitely return and would highly recommend.

Delicious food, great service and good price. The place is lovely upstairs but a bit old fashioned downstairs. That would be my only negative comment.

Had a meal with my family. All was very good! Staff were friendly and the food was delicious !! I would highly recommend it 😊

Great food and friendly service. Hidden gem which is suitable for a meal out with friends or family. Been to restaurant several times and never disappointed.

Friendly, welcoming, nice ambience, good food, though early evening menu a bit limited, with emphasis on vegetarian food. Desserts uninspired, so not tempted. Very good coffee.

Venue is a little small and cozy but our visit on New Years Eve went extremely well. Friendly staff, delicious food and our food arrived out in good time despite how busy it was. Would highly reccomend.

Overall experience was ok. The starter which should have been warm was cold, they offered to replace it, as I didn't take that option they refunded it. The main course was fine. The staff were friendly and attentive and the surrounding was nice. Didn't have a problem leaving a tip.

I love this place, been here more than a few times over the last two years, even had a birthday tea here its that good! staff are always nice and the food is lovely. be back soon.

Lovely food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. The venison was excellent. And the whisky pairings with the desserts are a great idea. Need 3 more words....

Loverly food, excellent service . Made to feel very welcome on a exceptionally cold evening in Edinburgh. Would definitely use again. Thank you Cellar Door.

A lovely dinner on a rainy Tuesday evening. The Cellar Door is cosy and friendly - we always enjoy eating here! Mackerel parfait to start, followed by venison steak (the meat dishes are particularly good) and a nice glass of wine. Warmed up in no time!

We enjoyed our early evening deal (make sure you ask for the menu if you want this option): winter chicken casserole/ fish kebabs followed by Christmas pudding/ tablet and whisky cheesecake (which came in a glass bowl, not on a plate!) Staff very friendly and helpful. My only criticism would be that the fish could have been hotter, but that is probably me. Lovely restaurant, good atmosphere and a great deal.

it was my first visit. I found the ambience in the restaurant really lovely. The staff were friendly & chatty. Good choice of food & good value for the early evening meal.

Great food, great staff - fabulous and friendly - and a nice, cosy decor/vibe . Served drinks and our starter within 25 mins. Would recommend to anyone!

Great service.....great food....olives to die for. Will certainly return when in edinburgh again. Highly recommend. My friend had the venison and i had chicken. Veggies and fries fab. Everythijng was very tasty.

Lovely meal, lovely surroundings and lovely staff. Good selection of Scottish themed dishes - ideal for entertaining international visitors. I will definitely come back here.

I work for a school and we sent a group here over the summer. They had a great experience here and would definitely return again.

Very good service, from start to the end. The haggis was standard, but the bread was good. I had the venison steak, it was perfect. So over all, a good visit.

Good service. Our second visit and same waitress who couldn’t have been better. Venison this time a bit chewey but good flavours. We’d come back

Food in general very good, if not outstanding. Cullen skink lacked a bit of flavour and might possibly have simmered a bit longer. Venison was promised medium rare, but was more medium than rare. Not bad, though. And service is nice and friendly.

The food was great and the service was good, the atmosphere is always pleasant. We went with our two young daughters and it was good to see that they could enjoy food from the main menu too.

The food was nice but nothing amazing and we could have had more. However the atmosphere was cosy and warm, good for a romantic diner.

With so much choice in Edinburgh The Cellar Door is a gem. We weren’t sure what to expect when we arrived but once down the stairs in the Cellar we were welcomed with warms and smiles. The menu at first looked limited but full of amazing local choice which did not disappoint. Great place and definitely recommend.

Relaxed and unrushed. Lunch time set menu was good value and the dishes we chose were well cooked and well presented. This was a catch-up of two friends who hadn't met up for five years, so much chatting was done. At no time did we feel that we were a nuisance for sitting so long. THANK YOU...we had a very enjoyable lunch.

Not worth the price and all was a bit mediocre. The cut of the salmon was a tail end and the tiny tiny slices of cheese for £7,95 were outrageous.

great food and service. The waitresses were all very kind. The pudding is just awesome. Highly recommend this smal restaurant that is just beside the Elephant House

The food was great and so was the service :) The only thing that bothered us at this really nice restaurant was the music. It was something like 80-90s hits, which killed the mood a little bit.

Overpriced, nothing special. Lots of better places to go in the area with more character and choice. Service was good though, and the location is handy.

Very limited lunchtime menu and uninspiring choices. It was difficult to detect any overall Scottish theme, as advertised. We will not be returning. Service was very good, though.

Great food, excellent service in a fun environment located centrally in Edinburgh just off the Royal Mile, the best meal we had during our four day stay.

All four of us enjoyed our meal, 2 burgers, salmon and venison. Good service, nice food and a good atmosphere. Not bad value for the location. Would definitely come here again.

Service was very good , food was lovely. Only downside was the lighting - like eating in the dark. Having said that this wouldn’t stop us returning.

Absolutely love this place. Been 3 times now and it never fails - the staff are lovely, the food is phenomenal and it's all pretty fairly priced for what you get. For traditional Scottish food in a gorgeous setting, there's nowhere else to be.
