The Cellar Door

We had a great dinner was very tasty especially the dessert!

Good value. Subtly different veggie risotto.friendly efficient service aaa bbb

Unfortunately the reviews that we read before our meal we’re completely at odds with our own personal experience. We were rushed to the table, asked for our drinks order but hadn’t been given a drinks menu, the website menu was different to the actual menu, the mackerel pate was liquid and had to be returned, the venison quite chewy. The owner and manager were very apologetic and showed genuine concern and rectified the starter situation very quickly but the icing on the cake was a waitress who hadn’t actually served us who asked how our food was and gave us a slip for feedback with her name on it and then asked for a taxi to be ordered only to be told that it had been given to a couple from a different table so we went and found our own on the street. So very disappointed, we could see how much the owner and manager cared about our meal but the reality of the experience tells us that they’re victims of their own success, really sorry to have written such a review and I sincerely hope that they can learn from our feedback. Yours disappointedly....

It was a wonderful evening in every way! Perfect end to our holiday!

Very good food and service. Would recommend to anyone visiting.

I dined at The Cellar Door in the evening a few years ago and had no complaints. I am afraid our lunchtime experience recently was not great due to the food. Myself and a colleague had the burger and it was so tough I could barely cut it with my knife and nearly lost it to my colleague's plate at one point! Two other colleagues had the fishcakes and said it was so overpowering with mustard and capers, it was barely edible. Others had the battered fish and had no issues but it looked like it probably came out of the freezer so not sure that can be too difficult to get wrong. We decided not to stay for dessert because the food was so underwhelming. I don't like to complain about anything but feel that the food was definitely poor and I will not be back.

Great food! A little too noisy, and 30mn late dispite our reservation. But still a good experience, I recommand!

The menu was disappointing and some items were overpriced, for my tastes

very nice staff but the food was just ok not great

The staff very good and nice. Perfect diner in family.

Fantastic food. Excellent service. Will be back next time i am in Edinburgh.

during the busy time，it would be hard to get the Server’s notice

The skink starter was excellent! You wouldn't walk in based on the exterior entry, but it's really good.

Lovely food and good service, thanks to Mel our waitress

Bra, men noen syntes hjortefilet var for slintrete. ellers bra mat

Two lovely waitresses. Both charming and very helpful. Excellent value for money. Starter and sweet great. Main course mediocre. Wouldn’t put me off but neither would it be my first choice

I had a booking and they were waiting fo me when I arrive in. The times were corect and the services was really kind. I recommend The Cellar Door for a lunch experience, the food is also amazing!

So good , check this place out if you're in town

Great food great service. Scottish food done well. Highly recommend.

friendly, good food, impressive selection of Scottish cuisine, prime location , very atmospheric, excellent value! slight disappointment with the service - salt and pepper were not readily available on the table, would also expect a water refill.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service was superb

Choice on menu a little limited. Some items not available.

The food is the best you can find in Edinburgh and the staff are always so friendly.

Great food, great service, great location, great value. Ten out of ten.

Very good food, attentive but not intrusive waiting staff and a buzzy atmosphere

Lovely meal, super service, good price. Will come back when opportunity arises.

Our waitress Lydia was lovely We enjoyed the evening. Thank you.

Lovely restaurant with really good food and very friendly staff.

Lovely lunch yesterday at the Cellar Door. Special mention for Lydia our waitress who was very attentive!

Nice,friendly staff Well balanced menu Tasty Scottish food Good atmosphere

We were very pleased about the waitresses! The food was really tasty and the quality was « au rendez-vous ».

Fantastic food. The pork belly was to die for. Friendly service. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

Food and wine amazing!! Lovely comfortable atmosphere! Brilliant friendly staff.

We had the six course tasting menu. It was a fabulous meal. Every dish was well presented and tasted amazing. The staff were very friendly and helpful when needed without being over familiar. Will definitely go back and recommend to others.

Lovely night with friends. Our waitress was brilliant 👍🏻 Thanks . Have been before and will definitely be back again in the future. Keep up the good work

Lovely meal and staff were fabulous. This was my second visit and can highly recommend. Menu selection at lunchtime was excellent and wine prices reasonable.

Great food with a Scottish vibe and friendly service. Didn't get full marks as website doesn't make it clear the set menu is only available at set times and were sat next to a blazing hot radiator.

The food was delicious and the service was great. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and the set lunch is very good value for money. Would definitely return.

Very nice restaurant. Had lunch and food was lovely and staff friendly and attentive. Had a goats cheese starter and fish cakes for a main. Good choice of wines.

The food the service and the interior were excellent. Loved everything and had a great time. So I highly recommend. Will go there again once back in Edinburgh.

Fantastic fresh food and beautifully presented. Very helpful stay and will definitely return and recommend. Handy for Festival Theatre and all city sights. Thank you

Went to restaurant on a Saturday before going to the theatre so was quite quiet. Staff incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks etc. Both of us had the Pork Belly which was tender and tasty. Sticky Toffee pudding lived up to its reputation. Overall a great experience and no hesitation to recommend

Excellent service and fantastic food! I had the tasting menu - 5 courses which included the fish cake for starter and venison for mains. Dessert was fab too. My companion had the two course set - fish cake and burger. Enjoyed the evening. Sitting spaces limited so advise making a reservation to avoid disappointment. Conveniently located too.

Lovely restaurant with great menu, excellent food and good choice of wines. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Would highly recommend for any occasion. Will be back soon!

Lovely little find. Cosy atmosphere, attentive staff, well priced and the food was fabulous with nice portion sizes and good side recommendations that complemented. Would return in a heartbeat.

The food was too Expensive for what you get. Soup slopped in to a bowl and the portion of the veg risotto was a spoon full! Bellow average food. The only good things are the decor and wine.

Lovely 3 course lunch for only £15 in the centre of Edinburgh. Nice surroundings and extremely pleasant and helpful staff. I would go again and have already recommended to other friends.

Fantastic restaurant and great experience. Thoroughly enjoyed both the meal and the service. Lovely range of true Scottish food on the menu and this is what we go for. We came last time we visited Edinburgh and would recommend a visit every time.

This is a fantastic Scottish menu restaurant. I always go when I come to Edinburgh. Lorna and her team are very welcoming and the food is excellent.

Lovely food and nice relaxed atmosphere but fairly pricey for the level of food. Had a chocolate delice for desert which was tasty but quite mean in the portion size.
