The Cellar Door

Under average food quality. Although the staff worked hard, they seemed to lack training. The dishes didn't match their marketing dish images at all.

Welcoming staff, amazing food: fresh, local, seasonal, tasty! The drinks and deserts were also outstanding

Great food, lovely service. We enjoyed everything. A bit tricky to find

What a find The Cellar Door is. We were looking to have a meal before a show and we passed it but wasn't open at the time but had booking details in the window. We were so glad we booked here as everything was exceptional. The staff were really friendly, the food excellent and the atmosphere perfect. Highly recommended. 5*

The food and service were great. A good experience on our trip

Good food, the restaurant is a bit noisy. I would recommend booking in advance

Fabulous restaurant- i make sure we visit The Cellar Door each time we visit Edinburgh

Lovely meal - good service. Nice location in the festival

Food was excellent in terms of the balance between flavours, the quantity of the 6 course menu and the variety of local delicacies. Staff was perfect, full of attentions and time between dishes was great.

Molto carino e molto buono, é stato davvero un piacere!

Smoked Haddock chowder was outstanding. Highly recommend this wonderful little place

Fantastic food! Really great flavours and great service. Would highly recommend

A lovely experience. Attentive staff from arrival through to departure. Talked through menu options which was very helpful. Aware of gluten free issues and assisted in identifying options. The food and wine was superb.

On arrival we were greeted immediately by a friendly young girl who gave us the option of where to sit. It was the beginning of service & the restaurant had just opened so we were the only table in - the service was flawless! The staff exceptionally attentive without being overbearing. Explanation of all the menu options available were given as we sat down & drinks were offered after being brought water for the table. The starters were very good, my husband had Cullen Skink and said it was the best he’d ever had! I had haggis parcel which was delicious and very well presented. There was just enough time given between starter & main course. My steak was beautifully cooked with a small amount of garnish & thick cut chips, my husband’s Venison Burger was juicy, well cooked and again presented well. We were delighted with the overall experience and would absolutely recommend a visit to friends & family. We will be back!

Haggis parcels are really tasty. Recommend. Venison Burger excellent. Very friendly. At the Fringe so limited time but the service was very prompt.

The food was great and the waiter was very attentive.

The only area for improvement would be reducing background sound - the hard surfaces reflected conversations so some sound dampening panels on walls or curtaining would soften it.

Expensive and over modest quantities, quality was fine. Choice was limited and no thoughtful touches you expect when paying a lot eg a tablet piece with the coffee, Pity you did not have a 3 course table d’ hote offer. Could not recommend

Overall it was OK. Asked for butter - didn't arrive. Was charged £9 for a bottle of still water - not offered tap water. Steak was served with no vegetables. Could have been much better with a few simple touches.

Excellent food and personable service, plenty of gourmet options for plant-based folks!

Great food. Good service. Lovely atmosphere. Totally recommend for a taste of Scotland.

Service was mediocre, for example, the menus took so long to come that I had to go the service counter to ask, a knife fell onto the floor and the server picked it up and placed it back on our table (thanks, but do you think we wanted to use it after it fell on the floor?), desserts were asked for at least 3 times, but they never arrived, however they were on the bill when it came time to pay. Food was average; haggis was like a deep fried samosa, salmon mousse was so-so and the venison was a bit stringy. I can't reccomend this restaurant.

Very good Scottish dinner, exactly what we were looking for!

Wonderful friendly service, great vibe. Food was excellent. Highly recommend.

Great food. Friendly staff. Wonderful presentation. Exceptional experience! Just go!

The tasting menu is amaaaazing and for the price and the quality I thoroughly recommend.

Excellent food, Excellent service and great atmosphere. We loved it.

We really enjoyed it and the service was excellent. Nice atmosphere

So good! Loved the tasting menu with the drink pairings! Food was amazing, service was amazing, would definitely go back

Very nice place to have dinner. Staff is super friendly and food was great. Really can recommend the Cellar Door for dinner.

Amazing menu and great presentation. Kudos to the chef and staff for an enjoyable dinner!

Wonderful, Delicious, had a great time. Will eat there again.

Great place to go and we had great service from a new wait staff!

Really great experience, would love to go back when we have more time to experience the tasting menu

Excellent food and excellent service. Great atmosphere in a lovely restaurant.

We struggled to remember when we had last visited this wonderful restaurant as we don’t often travel from the south east of England, but this was as an amazing experience. They offered a hugely tempting six-course taster menu (which included a full vegetarian/vegan option) but we opted for haggis roll and vegetarian haggis; venison and sea trout; and we both elected to have the cheeseboard. The food was simply delicious and beautifully presented, and the staff were warm and attentive, without ever making us feel rushed. I would wholly recommend booking a table for a special dining experience.

Fantastic! Great vegan service and and and and and and

Overall, I found this restaurant a bit disappointing and definitely overpriced. The service was good, and our waitress was really lovely. The wine was nice and was reasonably priced. The food was very hit and miss. Our starters (haggis parcel and salmon mousse) were okay. My partner had venison as a main and he said it was okay but that the meat was definitely overcooked. I had steak and it was a rip off £28 for a very thin steak (apparently ribeye), and some chips..Nothing else. Steak was not quality, more like Tesco value. And it was really salty. Desert was nice - Lemon Possett.Overall our bill came to £160. Which was ridiculous considering the standard of food.we were served.

The food was fantastic, and the service was amazing. When I next visit Edinburgh, I'll definitely be revisiting.

Tasting menu was spectacular; sticky toffee pudding was best we’ve had in two weeks in Scotland. Highly recommend The Cellar Door!

Food was fresh and tasty. Portions were perfect. Ice cream with espresso and Baileys was perfect for dessert!

Lovely staff, great atmosphere, relaxed, no rush, wonderful tasting menus

Absolutely perfect spot to try out some authentic Scottish food. The service was great, very informative and helpful. The food was magnificent, savory, and tasteful. The drink selection featured some great local brews and drams. 10/10 spot to try if you’re in Edinburgh!

Great food and friendly staff. We would definitely return to this restaurant.

Excellent tasting menu with accompanying wines. Service was very good too, the meal was at a nice pace with little explanations of each course and matched wine.

Delicious food served by friendly and attentive staff. I would certainly recommend the Cellar Door to my friends.

Brilliant really enjoyed it all. Would recommend for a couple

Very quiet, nice pairing of food and wine. Excellent service!

Fantastic experience, the selection was great and theu catered well for vegeterians. Would visit again.

Ambiance agréable et viande savoureuse. Prix raisonnable. Le service est rapide et chaleureux
