The Cellar Door

The service was quick and very friendly. They don't have a great selection of main courses but the options avalable are good and well made. I will definitively come back.

Great service. Lovely food. Pleasant atmosphere in which to host a visitor. Thank you. I don't have anything more to add today but would return.

Had a very enjoyable meal with some great food, nice surroundings and friendly and knowledgeable staff. Had to change our reservation by half an hour and this was no problem to them. Would recommend wholeheartedly.

We had a lovely evening at the Cellar Door. The menu was innovative and everything we ordered was delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely go back.

Fantastic place. Food service atmposphere is first class. Excellent value for money. We needed to be served quick as we had to be at theatre and service was spot on

!Lovely meal,friendly staff.Would recommend it.This was our first visit but will probably return on our next visit to Edinburgh. Great !ocation just off the Royal Mile

Wonderful food in a cozy atmosphere. Super service. Had the haggis springroll, cockaleekie chicken, and creme brulee with a cup of espresso. An absolutely perfect meal. So, so happy right now.

We had a lovely meal, great food and great service. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere too. I recommend the haggis spring rolls to start.

The food was delicious and nicely presented. The staff were helpful and attentive. The restaurant had an inviting atmosphere despite the unusual entrance down the stairs.

This is my 3rd visit and once again the staff, food, and atmosphere are awesome! Love this place! Have the sticky toffee pudding and the salmon!

This is a great little restaurant with a great vibe. The menu is small but should cater for most pepole. Prices very reasonable and this place is well worth a visit

Second time at the Cellar Door! Last time my son said the venison was the best meat he had ever tasted. This time I had it. He was right - not just the quality of the meat but the way it was cooked and presented and served. Great place and will return every time we are in Edinburgh!

Excellent food and service at reasonable prices. Great wine list too and good value for a city centre restaurant. Our second time there and whilst it does attract a large volume of tourists the food is first class. We will definitely be back.

Great restaurant. Very swift service during fringe. Lovely food. We ate the Risotto and Burger, followed by a delicious Vanilla Panacotta. Bill for two mains, one desert and two drinks was about £50.

We had to wait a few minutes until our table was ready. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The ordered meals came quickly and tasted very good. It is our 3rd time in this restaurant and we would come again.

Great Scottish restaurant, serving delicious freshly made food, complimented with a good selection of drinks including local beers. Staff are very polite and attentive and the service was very quick.

Food was excellent, can not decide which part was best, service even better.. Great suggestions regarding whiskey.. all in all an amazing experience, would definitely return

Great food, excellent service Servie, friendly staff. It was extremely busy but nonetheless, the service was faultless and the staff, although under pressure, did a great job of not showing it!

Good food. friendly staff and very professional. Would definately recommend. And, that was when they were busy, so would imagine that it would even better when a 'normal' night

Great service, from walking in, being offered to choose where we sat, through to the attentive friendly service throughout! Good was decent sized portions, but amazingly tasty and presented in their usual exquisite way! Almost too beautiful to cut apart!! Haggis starter, venison cooked beautifully with beetroot and carrot, with cubed herbed potatoes and sticky toffee pudding left me feeling elated, and not overly stuffed as happens so often on 3 courses!! If you're a regular, I know why, if not............. Why not?? Sort this out now and book up!!!

Nice restaurant but soup was lukewarm and the salmon although well cooked was just served with salad. Also had to ask for bread with my soup

Delicious food and great service. We had mackerel pate and hot smoked salmon to start with; fish & chips and grilled chicken with couscous for mains.

We had a lovely meal and it was great service, however, we would have preferred a table on the lower level as we felt a bit cramped in to the corner. I should have requested this when making the booking, will know for the future.

Welcoming, patient (when half our party were late), fast service (during festival), small menu, delicious food, good buzz. Thanks will definitely go again. Lovely Cranachan cheese cake!

Staff are super very kind and caring! we took the fried haddock and it was good, just too oily for my tastes. Desserts are excellent! highly reccomended

This restaurant is Edinburgh's hidden Scottish gem. Food is fantastic! Staff were so friendly and very knowledgable about their menu. It is also very reasonably priced. I have a feeling you will need to pre book this little restaurant soon as the word will get out on how fantastic it is. I will be back Cellar Door. Thank you for a lovely evening. :-)

Super food, great people, lovely place. It's a great place for delicious scottish food and very friendly people. A great local place in the middle of the town.

We had a perfectly nice meal here but I don't think it was as varied a choice of menu as we experienced 12 months ago. And I don't think some of the descriptions of the courses were quite accurate. For example, a starter described as smoked mackerel turned out to be smoked mackerel pate. Very nice and I would have chosen it if I had thought it was a pate rather than smoked mackerel itself. So, no complaints and the service was excellent. Just not quite as good as we remembered.

Cellar Door was pretty warm and busy when we arrived. Had to wait 5 mins for our table even though we arrived a little after our booking time but this wasn't a biggie. Our waitress was chatty and helpful bringing some ice and opening a door to help cool me down - place was pretty warm despite the high ceilings. First starter of creamed goat cheese with beetroot was good and well presented but could have done with more than one very small toast to go with it, the walnuts were crushed so finely that I've only just realised what the decorative crunchy dust was! The other starter, broccoli and cheddar soup (soup of the day) was very tasty. Mains were mushroom risotto which was plentiful but could have done with more parmesan to add flavour and salmon fillet, both were well cooked. We chose raspberry cranachan cheesecake and sticky toffee for dessert. The cheesecake had chocolate mixed into the base, a surprise, but nice, no whisky tho like most cranachans I've had whilst the sticky toffee pudding sauce was yummy, the pudding part tasted of ginger which was odd. Service was good but very quick, felt like we were in California and there was another sitting of hidden diners waiting for our table!

Food & service excellent - a bit noisy but it was very busy - a particularly loud group of women! Our 2nd visit and would definitely go again

Fantastic meal with a nice cozy environment. Lunch deal of two courses for £12 was a steal. The grilled chicken with couscous was perfect. A good selection of local beers and drinks. Couldn't ask for more. I'd also recommend their cheesecake dessert. It's good to share with another and is extremely fluffy and cheesy with an oat / granola crust on the bottom. Would definitely go again.

We had a lovely lunch today at The Celler Door, the staff were very welcoming and friendly. All in all a very good lunch hour well spent.

Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere and fantastic service. Really enjoyed the food and the experience was worth every penny. A very good night out. Couldn't have asked for more.

Great menu with fantasticly cooked local food,served well by the helpful staff. This was meant to be a quick stop off for a bite to eat. 3 courses and a nice bottle wine and a few hours later happy customers

Really good meal, nice to see good vegetarian dishes on the menu and we liked the Scotttish-themed dishes. The puddings were especially wonderful, and we had excellent service. There is a great atmosphere there too. If we had one suggestion it would be to lower the music volume a bit once the place filled up. Would certainly recommend The Cellar Door.

Great food something for everyone, value for money and prompt service, would recomend it for lunch or evening. Was very busy but staff cope well.

Staff very friendly and helpful,and the food was very tasty and fresh.The menu would suit most. I would recommend it to anyone and will return.

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent menu. This is a hidden gem in Old Town. We visited during the Festival when all restaurants tend to be stretched but The Cellar Door coped admirably. We will return when the tourists and festival crowds have gone.

I booked online and it was so easy. The environment is cosy and the staff very friendly. I had Creamed Goats Cheese with Pickled Beetroot, Beetroot Puree & Walnuts for first which was surprisingly good! I had the salmon for main and it was delicious! It literally melted in my mouth! The wine, Torre Cerere Montepulciano D'Abruzzo was very good, too! Overall, I found the prices quite reasonable and I am definitely going back!

The food is good but for the price it is not top quality ,I can say the service is very good but the place is too tight and noisy not for relaxing dinner over all not bad

Excellent meal great service and a nice atmosphere in the restaurant staff were attentive without being intrusive and the price was reasonable.. Would thoroughly recommend

The food was excellent and the service very friendly. The lunch menu was really good value so I would definitely recommend. Hope to return again soon !

The staff was very friendly and the food was tasty. We all had the lunch combination, very good value for the food. The atmosphere was great!

We were warmly welcomed and the space is bright and open. There were four of us so we all ordered different dishes from the menu (starters and mains) and they were all of high quality. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent lunch. The 3-course set menu was lovely, with enough choice for a vegetarian. The setting is wonderful and the staff were very attentive and helpful. Reasonable value too!

Very cosy restaurant with great food and red wine. Went here for my anniversary and was very happy with my choice. Staff were very attentive and polite.

Fantastic menu, well cooked food and beautiful presentation. Great service on what was a busy night. Party of 5 and one said that it was his best ever meal!

The food was very good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only slight issue was that the area we were seated in was under an arch without a nearby window and was really quite warm and uncomfortable at times. It would be good if there was either a fan to keep the area cool or some other type of air conditioning.

The People were friendly and the Food good. The Haggis and the mussels were incredible and the rest of the food was okay, not special but okay. :)

We had a fabulous meal at The Cellar Door! It is a bit hidden but finding it was well worth it. The food was fresh, the menu had great variety and it was a great value. We also had a fantastic picpoul wine which is a new addition to the menu. Highly recommend a meal here if you are in Edinburgh!
