Fantastic experience. The food was excellent, the special cocktails were delicious, and the service was second-to-none. Great atmosphere.

We went to this typical Scottish restaurant intrigued by the positive reviews, upon our arrival we found a very kind Italian waitress who helped us choose the dishes. The venison is delicious and the trout is also excellent, not to mention the desserts. Truly a positive experience. If you are in Edinburgh don't miss this place!

The restaurant is located in the basement, the wifi was good, and the food was quite delicious. However, the service was more of a habitual move, and it kept coming and going as if they were trying to quickly vacate my table. And it was too expensive compared to the quality of the food. The price was expensive, but there was also a (reasonable) service charge, so I was quite disappointed.

I went to The Cellar Door on 09/12/2023 at 16:45, as our friend had booked a table for a Christmas meal. We arrived around 10 minutes early and could locate nobody on the first floor, however we did see a sign saying the restaurant was downstairs and to make our way there which we proceeded to do. We found nobody downstairs and then proceeded to go back upstairs, one thing we did note were the steel stairs were extremely slippy it was almost like an ice rink.. When coming back upstairs we were met by some staff who informed us that the steps had just been mopped and then proceeded to take us back downstairs, unfortunately on the way down I lost my footing on the steps due to how slippy they were and proceeded to fall on my back and shoulder down the last 5 steps. Whilst I was able to get back up, no effort was made to rectify the situation with the steps until I complained to a member of staff and advised them they should have dried them at which point a member of staff did this. Nobody checked on me afterwards, and whilst the meal was great and the service once we sat at the table was good the entire experience was spoiled by this accident which could have been avoided had considerable care been taken by the staff to dry the steel steps after they had been mopped. Unfortunately this also led me to miss my theatre trip as I've had to go to A&E!

They did not have our reservation listed even though I booked through their preferred app. We were able to get a table anyway. Menu and pictures listed here on Google are not necessarily the menu that is offered. My wife was looking forward to a burger but that was not on the menu. Those menus and images should be taken down. Food was ok, but not worth the price for the portion sizes or quality. This should be listed here as a more expensive restaurant, as we were not expecting to spend that much. Our waitress was very odd and difficult to understand, and kept hovering over my wife's shoulder and making us uncomfortable. We sat on the platform under the arch and it was noticeably dirty. Would not recommend this place.

Siamo stati in questo incantevole ristorante per cena, ad accoglierci abbiamo trovato Piera, una ragazza italiana super gentile che ci ha seguito durante il pasto. Oltre a lei il resto del personale è gentilissimo e simpatico. Il locale curato nei dettagli ed è piacevole mangiarci. Ma veniamo al dunque, noi abbiamo provato il menù degustazione che prevede sei portate che vanno da antipasti al dolce, si può abbinare inoltre ad un percorso vini. I piatti presentati in maniera elegante e cucinati con un tocco moderno hanno sempre qualche ingrediente importante della cucina scozzese, come Haggis, carne di cervo, salmone o Lemon Curd. A noi il percorso è piaciuto molto e pensiamo si addica perfettamente per il turista che vuole provare alcuni degli ingredienti più apprezzati della cucina scozzese. Assolutamente un ottimo ristorante dove passare una cena piacevole e assaggiare un po di Scozia!!

We had the tasting menu and found it to be underwhelming, particularly for the price. The food was average, as an example, one of the dishes consisted of raw tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and some dip. The atmosphere was lacking and we were still hungry after the meal. However, no problems with the service, the waiting staff were attentive and friendly.

This restaurant is literally in a cellar, hence the name, and looks nothing like the photos. It's tiny, and the bathroom is practically in the room, which is awkward. The lighting was way too bright which made the atmosphere sterile. The food was ok, and they had several vegan options for me, but it was not good enough to make up for the lack of atmosphere. I would skip this place in the future and eat elsewhere.

Last time I was in Edinburgh, I ended up eating in the Cellar Door by chance. I remembered it as a nice location with friendly staff and good food. This time we booked it in advance and it was better than I remember. The only issue was that an earlier table had arrived very late and so our table wasn't ready. I can't blame the restaurant for that and the staff handled it very well. I had a smoked salmon mousse starter, a venison main and sticky toffee pudding. The starter was good, but not exceptional. The venison was probably the best venison I have had anywhere and the pudding was close to perfect. To drink we had a bottle of Amarone, which was really good. I don't remember anything specific about the service, but I have a general impression of the staff being very helpful and everything appearing very inefficient. I really can't find anything to fault and I would happily recommend the cellar door to anyone.

The Cellar Door was a magnificent experience. From the friendly service, to the atmosphere, and the incredible food, I can not recommend this restaurant enough. My partner and I did the six course menu with wine pairings, he got the vegetarian menu and I got the regular menu (so we could share and try as much as we could).l (also, we forgot to take a picture of one course). It’s hard to pick a favorite dish because each one was delicious. I’ve had plenty of great dining experiences but this one easily ranks as one of the best (not just in Scotland—anywhere). I cannot recommend the Cellar Door enough. Make sure you check this spot out!

Loud dining room with loud noice of bottles from the bar. We ate the Scottish tasting menu with meat. The food was decent until the Tomato slad before the main course. That tomato salad had not much flavor with a simle sour cream sauce. The main course had no taste, salt and pepper needed to be added. None of the wine and drink pairings fit with the foods, but there were some that could have been switched up and would had fit better. Last comment (but first shock) … we were seated next to people’s feet… see picture…

My father and I walked past this place looking for somewhere to grab dinner at 8:00 on a Friday night with no reservation, an almost impossible task. Having found the original place we had our sights on rammed, we decided to give this place a try, in the end a much better outcome. Having turned up, we were given the literal last table available. Despite the business, the food was still great, venison haunch followed by sticky toffee pudding was well cooked and tasty. A lovely find.

Booked here for a pre-Tattoo show. Already did our homework before visit so knew we wanted the tasting menu with wine experience. We were really looking forward to the dishes. Initial Reception by staff was good. Friendly. We had been placed right in front of the bar and we were in the sweet spot for staff to see immediately the moment we had put our cutlery down and the slates would be immediately whipped away from under us. We were receiving next courses and wine before we had finished the last course wine. There was no break and it began to feel uncomfortable and we were also in the rat run for staff thundering past with other diners food. We asked to be moved. Which was better. The food was hugely disappointing. Looked ok, but just didn’t deliver on taste. The potato purée under the haggis parcel was cold…it could have well meant to be, but it was awful. The hot and cold smoked salmon mousse seemed nothing like a mousse and was very watery. The tomato dish was made to sound way more than it actually was. The biggest disappointment had to be the venison. Again looked great and may well have been if it had been at least warm. When we told the waitress we were told it was supposed to be like that…….the lemon posset was, well, lemon posset! Wines were ok although the dessert wine was undrinkable and was left. We just walked away feeling ripped off for £159. We did tell the staff during and after but they seemed completely non plussed. We had much much better for a lot less the following night, so would not recommend this establishment.

We saw this place when walking to another restaurant that turned out to be full. We doubled back and got the last table for two, and we’re delighted that we did. This is an intimate, atmospheric modern Scottish restaurant with a hard-working team serving well-known dishes with a Scottish twist. We both had the venison haunch, which was delicious, followed by one sticky toffee pudding and a lemon posset - both lovely. Serendipity is a wonderful thing.

Kinda cool ambiance but the food and service didn’t make up for it. Got the meat Taste of Scotland Prix Fixe menu. The stand-out was the crisp haggis (really well done with a combination of texture and rich flavors). The steak was bland, the heirloom tomatoes were acceptable. The service was the main detractor. Other tables came in after us but got their last courses before we had gotten our mains (and we had been waiting on the Heirloom tomatoes, which shouldn’t have taken a long time to cut…)

The editors of the trade magazines who listed this restaurant among the best in Edinburgh are criminals. For the modest sum of £ 404.- for four people we ordered a tasting menu ( with added cheese) that is a joke in bad taste. Portions insignificant both qualitatively and quantitatively, pate miserable, salmon cream less than homemade ( served on pan cakes that looked like the galettes I ate during my military service), two badly cut tomatoes on top of a cheese mousse ( served in a glass bowl), the meat as well as the haggis were saved. The dessert was of tremendous acidity, where the lemon concentrate destroyed the balance of the cream. The room is noisy (forget quiet dining) the table was sticky and wobbly as well. The only positive notes were the ladies on duty and the wine, which while not renowned was good.

We decided to go here for a nice meal on the last night of our holiday. We decided to do the tasting menu, which wasn’t cheap, but as a treat. We were sat close by to the till for the staff members and entrance to the kitchen, which was absolutely fine until two of the members of staff began to argue, not very subtly, and more than once, which became very awkward to be facing them and at such a close proximity. Sitting here meant we were also subject to the apparent chaotic nature of the service. We were moved to a different table half way through the meal, which was not a problem at all as the waitress was very polite about it, and offered a free drink, and meant we were a bit further away from the chaos. When we received the bill, we were charged for the drink so I asked the other waitress if she could take it off the bill; this was met with hostility and quite an abrupt response from the other waitress. The food was brought out very slowly after we were about half way through, and when we were moved to a different table to accommodate for another table of 6, it felt like we had been forgotten about. When the dessert came out, it appeared and tasted to have melted and been left for a while. It appeared that some of the members of staff were aware of the poor experience, and one continued to apologise. This honesty and friendliness of two of the waitresses made our experience better. It was the abruptness of some of the members of staff, some of whom were arguing in front of us, disorganised atmosphere which meant it was difficult to relax for an expensive meal, and feeling you had been forgotten, that means that it was sadly not the most enjoyable meal. I would never want to leave a bad review for a company, and can only imagine how good it could be had we gone there on a good day, I think we were just unfortunate.

The food was not prepared well and was very bland. There was a different person waiting our table each time something was brought out, and they never seemed to know where to bring the food or what was going on. A number of times, someone else's food was brought to our table. Perhaps an off night for staff and food.

Great experience at the cellar door! Food was really tasty and a wonderful introduction to the Scottish cuisine. But what impressed us the most was the caring, lovely service we received from the staff, full of attentions, explanations and recommendations. Special thanks to Piera, we're definitely coming back here again!

We were recommended a visit here whilst on our trip. It’s closed on Monday and Tuesday so we booked for the Wednesday. From the outside it looks fab and doesn’t disappoint when you venture downstairs though the tables are a little close together and the...

The relatively small menu packed a big punch for inventiveness, taste, and presentation - all at reasonable prices to boot! It was one of the best meals we had in Edinburgh. The charming basement-level restaurant had surprisingly high ceilings and was light, bright, and airy....

Had a fantastic and so reasonable tasting menu. We choose the matching wine addition and although a little expensive compared to the food was very well matched. Topped off with great service by Anna a lovely evening occurred. Highly recommend.

Lieux agréables. Wifi disponible. Qualité de la nourriture très correcte : le faux filet de viande écossaise est excellent, le chevreuil est également très bon. Mais les quantités sont relativement désastreuses. 30€ pour un steak de 160gr (sans doute un peu moins je pense) avec des frites (une vingtaine de frites environ), c'est très cher payé. Idem pour le chevreuil avec quelques frites et trois brocolis qui se battent en duel avec une purée de choux rouges. Desserts : là encore très bon et du fait maison, mais très cher (glaces, pudding) Au final, il s'agit sans doute d'un restau gastronomique, au vue des quantités dans l'assiette et du prix payé. Bref, un peu déçu.

We ordered the tasting menu with the wine pairings and it was fabulous. The pace of the meal was perfect and the flavours were incredible. Service was top notch and the ambience was relaxed and informal. An all round winner! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The most disgusting food ever this wasn’t ribeye. The food was expensive and only a child potion. Pepper sauce with no pepper. Just chips and steak. Went for my husbands birthday worst meal we had on our 10 day visit to Scotland

Not recommended. Would not extend a voucher I had with them by one week which I was not able to use due to being on holiday. Gave voucher to others to use who were automatically charged 10% service on the voucher, additions and drinks. Food was ok, the venison was the highlight (very good), but generally over priced.

Still hungry. The butternut squash gnocchi had only 3 gnocchi. I ate it in 4 bites. The trout was actually salmon. The venison was as hard as a hockey puck. Haggis starter and tomato soup starter were good. The meal took 45mins to come out and was more expensive than it was worth. The staff was nice though.
