The Cellar Door

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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. :)

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.

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 Cellar Door is a real find. The place is cozy yet you don't feel crowded. The servers were very friendly and knowledgeable and best of all the food was great, especially the sticky toffee pudding.

Very nice! Good staff. Good food (I had the venison). Overall a nice place with well done food. You can tell they put som effort in it.

Fantastic! Would totally recommend. Excellent food, really authentic Scottish cuisine, couldn't fault a thing. Very friendly staff, able to give helpful recommendations, and lovely ambience.

This was our second visit to The Cellar Door and it did not disappoint. We would thoroughly recommend a visit, great food and good service at a reasonable price.

Very good. The food very well prepared. And although the menu is not long they hsve dofferent choices to suit everyone. Nice environment. I even asked a special gift and they arranged everything. I regret only one waitress was having a bad day, abd was a bit rude. So only for that i dont give max score.

Food was good, service was good and staff were very pleasant. The restaurant is a very pleasant space, well laid out and clean. Our second visit and would go again.

Booked for five other tables running over time but was accommodated without a problem amazing food and brilliant staff , had the pre theatre menu great value

It's always great to be in The Cellar Door: good food, nice drinks, great service, lovely atmosphere. Even the location, on the busy George IV Bridge, is not in your mind when you take the steps down into the restaurant.

very friendly staff, lovely food and great value early dinner menu. Central location and just across the road from Greyfriars Kirk and close to the Royal Mile.

Easy to reserve table on line. Extremely nice, friendly and courteous waitress. Food was luvly. Perfectly cooked. Pleasant decor and comfortable setting. Arrived a bit earlier than planned but no problem as our table was ready. Had invited visitor from Malaysia (first time in Scotland). This restaurant was a great experience for him tasting good Scottish fayre. We'll be back.

The five of us had a lovely pre concert dinner - delicious food, very nice ambience, staff attentive and delightful. Will definitely return. Thank you.

Really nice decor, food was lovely and fresh, price was decent and staff were nice, but not overly friendly. House wine was lovely and the menu is small but of good quality.

Great food, great service, but the atmosphere was the only downfall. The lack of people eating out on a Tuesday night can not be blamed on them however. It was all in all a fabulous meal, expensive yet not unreasonably priced for the delicious food

A lovely little restaurant with very good value set menu. Staff friendly and efficient. The worst thing is the stairs! I hadn't realised the venue was downstairs, even though you enter from George IV Bridge level. Hardly their fault though! Interestingly, as we got up to leave after lunch, there was a chocolate workshop starting to take place and that looked good too. I would definitely return.

Lovely place, the food was great and the service was super. This is a great spot for a nice dinner in Edinburgh. Stop I'm if you are in town.

Fantastic service, lovely atmosphere. We were well looked after and the waitress paid particular attention to the fact that it was one of our parties birthday. When dessert was served it was decorated with a candle. The food was very tasty, well presented and very good value for money. We had 3 courses for £20. Would recommend and will be back again for another team meal out :)

Perfect meal and kids menu with a lot of choices

The early dinner menu was good value for money and a good choice available. Nice atmosphere and good service was received. I would recommend this restaurant.

Great decor, lovely staff, starters fantastic, some mains good but chicken a bit dry All beautifully presented., had one pudding between us which was delicious . Would happily go again

As always the cellar door served fantastic food in a great atmosphere. Amazing for gluten free. I will be going back for more in the near future.

Everything OK. Food was just what we wanted,very good value for money, the service was faultless. Reservation made via the web site, all very easy to enjoy.

good food, good service. Try if. best in town. we will be back, comming all the way from Denmark. c u soon. Thanks for a lovly meal.

Small concealed entrance lead to a larger restaurant downstairs. Food was amazing, not huge portions but we were all stuffed after. Presentation and taste were 5* and the service was every bit as good, there was 5 of us and a couple of quite fussy eaters but nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were extremely polite, friendly and accommodating. Have already recommended to friends and I will definitely return again very soon.

The food and service is absolutely phenomenal as well as the cozy atmosphere, which is traditional Scottish with a modern feel. So good we went two nights in a row!

Great restaurant with friendly staff and fantastic food! Would definitely recommend to others who visit Edinburgh. Plenty of dishes to choose from and lovely cocktails.

Great food and lovely atmosphere. Was lucky to get a table at the last minute. Prices were reasonable considering the good standard of food and service.

Always a safe bet to return to. Remains consistently good in terms of both menu and service. Well worth a visit in my humble opinion.

The Food was excellent, lovely atmosphere, very accessable, friendly and accommodating staff. I will certainly return in the future, highly recommended to others. We managed to get a table a few hours prior

I dont write reviews but need to rave abiut the Cellar Door!! Fantastic food in a hidden gem- perfect for a group of 6. Would go back in a heartbeat! The waitresses were amazing welcoming and warm. No negative to say!

Lovely food. Fantastic environment. Great menu. Would definitely go again. The chicken ballotine was a splendid dish and we thought that the service was fantastic.

The food was absolutely fine. The atmosphere was good. But the menu was a bit disappointing. I would have like to see more Scottish classics.

Lovely food, good scottish menu pudding was lovely very nice service.did get a bit busy but staff were very attentive.would certainly recommend tothers.will be back soon.
