The Cellar Door

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 👍🏻

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).

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

The staff were very welcoming and we received great service throughout the evening. The quality of food was also good and the prices very reasonable.

The service was really good and so was the food , we would definitely come back and recommend to family and friends. The atmosphere was good the staff didn't rush you to get out

We loved the menu and all our party of 6 enjoyed their choices. The lentil soup was bland as the venison a little cold, but these are small points. We had a lovely evening and will definitely go back. Cullen skink is awesome

The food was very good and well made with nice takes on Scottish dishes. The service was excellent and would definitely recommend a visit to The Cellar Door

Excellent evening. Food and service was very good. I had haggis spring roll to start and venison for main. Both dishes were excellent. Also good value for money. My wife and I both had an aperitif, a starter, main course and one bottle of red wine. The bill came to £82. Would certainly go back.

Very busy restaurant but the staff seemed to be in control. A young clientele and a buzzy atmosphere. Great fun, with a very reasonably priced and quite short menu. As it was Edinburgh I had a haggis burger - my first !

acoustic Approvement. Overall very Nice impression of restaurant. Very opservant Waiter and Quick serving. Very good cooked food - great time to enjoy a Well cooked meal visiting Edinbough

Amazing food. I had the burger which was honestly top 3 of my life. My boyfriend had the steak which he also raved about. Friendly attentive service. Will definitely be back.

Nice quiet atmosphere. Food was very competent although we felt that a couple of dishes would have benefitted from a little "more" i.e. another ingredient or more of an existing one. Service was a touch on the down-beat side.

Delicious food with prompt and polite service! Great knowledge of gluten free / coeliac which is invaluable. Highly recommend for a good Scottish dinner in central Edinburgh

Great service! Was not much necessary with booking at the time. But during the busy hours, it is probably best to be prepared and get reservation number.

We ate from the Dinner Menu, which provided a good selection from which to choose, the food was well presented and beautifully cooked. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Have been a few times and the food is nice but the service was very disappointing. Not friendly or in anyway engaging. Unlikely to be back

Good food and Excellent and helpful service. If we weren't in town for only 3 days, it would be a place we would go to again

Very good food, maybe a smaller portion but okay for normal eaters I guess. Service was very friendly, visit was lovely! I will be back!

The food was nice, good size potions, and the waitress was pleasant and attentive, but the temperature of the restaurant was too hot which made it a bit uncomfortable

The food was incredible absolutely bursting with flavour. 4 things stood out in particular; Haggis Spring rolls, mussels in white wine sauce, Pork Belly and the absolutely mouth watering vegetarian lentil and walnut cakes! As a fairly picky vegetarian I am always hesitant but liked the sound of the meal with crispy Kale and I couldn't have left any happier! Would recommend to anyone but vegetarians will love this option too! (Sound question below is irrelevant as the atmosphere was ideal!)

Rather mediocre but reasonably priced food served in a rather soulless atmosphere. Waitress was brusque to the point of rudeness (though it was unconscious on her part) - seemed in a constant hurry to move us on to the next course and then to pay the bill.

Very nice food, but portion sizes, for each of our party of 3, were small. The evening I felt was spoiled by the restaurant lights being put on, this despite a party just arriving, and also the staff carrying crates of empty bottles past us several times whilst we ate dessert. A real shame.
