The Cellar Door

Lovely service, truly excellent food and good value for money

Been in the restaurant several times it’s always good food good service and friendly staff

Lovely service and great food. Would definitely go back and recommend.

Food was very good although we were a little disappointed that the Taste of Scotland 2019 menu was not offered. It was very busy and noisy but only to be expected in August! Service was excellent- very, very pleasant young lady.

We had booked on the set menu but had to ask for it. Three of us had our main meals for sometime before the other member finally received theirs. Food was just ok. The waitress was very nice.

Great staff and amazing food on the Scottish tasting menu. Definitely recommend

Great place to eat in Edinburgh with a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. Excellent Scottish food with a modern twist for some dishes- will definitely return!

Prebooked, so no waiting. A quiet corner, so noise not an issue. Staff were excellent.

Ordered bread (an extra) which we asked for 3 times and eventually cancelled. Fish cake starters were bland. Risotto main was tasteless and looked unappetising - there was little fish and far too much potato, and rice was overcooked. We fed this back at the time. Picpoul wine was OK but not a patch on the same type elsewhere for less money.

Good food, lovely friendly service. Excellent lunch venue away from the bustle.

Food and drink menu not much of a selection, toilet facility very poor albeit they had plumbing problems.

This was a return visit to the Cellar Door as we found it last year during our Fringe Festival visit. The food is delicious, staff are lovely & atmosphere is great. We will visit again next year & any other time we are in Edinburgh.

Great service and the food was amazing. Booked this restaurant by chance as attending a fringe show close by. What a find, will definitely be back.

An enjoyable evening and meal, thank you we will return

Brief visit before theatre but service was fast and food good. Would visit again when we can linger a bit longer.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Highly recommended. Hope to visit ahain

Poor service. Food good but pricey.will not be returning. CullenSkink rissotto lacked flavour.

Good food, friendly service and an enjoyable evening. I would recommend it

The food doesnt resemble what they portray on the website. Wouldnt have gone if known.

I had booked a table for 4 at this restaurant > 5 weeks ago, to meet friends who had travelled from afar, at no point in the booking process was I told this was a 2 hour booking. 1 hour 20mins into our meal, I suggested we would like a rest before looking at the desert menu, and was told that this would not be possible as the table was needed for a further booking "quite soon." A second server came to speak to us, who suggested that all bookings were for 2 hours max, this was not mentioned at time of booking or indeed on website. After further discussion with staff we agreed to move to an alternative table to complete our meal. My husband and I are Scottish, and eat regularly in Edinburgh, we are not one off visitors, and were quite embarrassed at this scenario involving our guests who had travelled to the city.

We had a lovely dinner here. Cheerful and attentive wait staff, delicious food ( lamb - melt in the mouth good), and great atmosphere in a sweet hide-away.

Lovely staff and great service. Wonderful food and a nice cosy shelter from the rain!

Excellent meal, very good welcome, a very good typically Scottish restaurant in Edinburgh

The staff were lovely and very attentive Menu choice could be increased .

Intimate restaurant who coped with a very busy night excellently. Despite having large tables in they still attended excellently to the tables of two like us and our food was delicious, hot and prompt. The heirloom tomato salad was great.

Yet another fantastic visit to Cellar Door, one of our favourite restaurants in Edinburgh.

The service was great and the food was even better!

This was a good place to meet up with friends we hadn't seen for a while, not too noisy, so we were able to chat. The menu wasn't as extensive as I'd remembered, but we all found something that we enjoyed and the staff could accommodate a gluten free choice.

Very nice experience. Restaurant was just getting busy when we left. Therefore had full attention of staff, very nice ambience and food and wine was lovely.

Great service and very pleasant downstairs cellar. Thank you. P

Good foods with nice atmosphere and kind staff. I liked it.

Top service, lecker Essen, gutes Ambiente und außerdem sehr Kinderfreundlich.

It wasn’t just an amazing food but rather an amazing experience! We’ve decided to go for a special “Taste of Scotland” menu which doesn’t give you a choice but rather provides an opportunity to taste a number of most notorious local dishes. And all of them was astonishing, delicious. I guess the only regret we’ve had - we just couldn’t finish it all;-) Highly recommended!

My first haggis experience. Amazing ;-) A little bit too loud inside but it is a cellar. And because of that no problem.

Great food and very friendly service. We enjoyed the meal!

What a find ! Amazing place with such wonderful staff! Amber you are a gem! Lorna what a host! Food was excellent cooked to perfection.

Great food, great staff, great service. One of Edinburgh's hidden gems. Thoroughly recommend.

We had such lovely service and were actually surprised how good the food was. I had the haggis for a starter which was delicious. The lamb for main was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the giant cous cous. I never usually have dessert but was tempted by the sticky toffee pudding. I loved that too! I was worried it was going to be touristy but it was full of local people. I would definitely come here again!

Cullen Skink main course had no lumps of fish in it. It was just a plain risotto in fish stock. Very disappointing.

Excellent value lunch menu with fantastic food. Very attentive waitress (Lydia)

Nice food and good service in a centrical cute place. Great lunch deal!

We were looking for a nice typical Scottish restaurant and we found it in this lovely restaurant with very kind servers and delicious food. We're from Holland and this was the first time we tried Haggis... and we didn't regret this at all.

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere; service team was tremendous during a very busy evening. Highly recommended!

Staff really friendly, and graciously allowed us to do the set course menu for early-evening. If it had been a beautiful summer's evening, I may have preferred a less underground restaurant. But when it's dark out or pouring with rain, the Cellar Door is a lovely place to eat. I REALLY loved the offer of haggis or veggie haggis for £1 for visitors who may want to try the Scottish delicacy without committing too much.

Nice staff, tasty meal.Only table should be better placed, because of our bags, but we were satisfied.

Was casual, relaxing, good food and good location. Friendly staff.

Good but expensive food but quiet restaurant would go again

Very friendly with excellent food. Dietary requirements well cared for.

It’s always a pleasure to go to The Cellar Door. The food quality is great and service is outstanding!

An excellent meal at a very reasonable price. The staff were extremely helpful, patient, and friendly
