If you are looking for an intimate and tasteful, yet relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy a tasty Scottish meal, you need to go to the Cellar Door! My husband and I found this delightful restaurant serendipitously on an evening walk when the lovely Giulia (our hostess with the mostest) guided us downstairs into a cozy little nook and and into the capable hands of fair Mel, our server for the evening. I chose the North Atlantic haddock with chips( fries to Americans) and Jim had a traditional roasted pork loin dinner. Both meals were thoroughly delicious with generous portions to satisfy hearty appetites.Great atmosphere, yummy comfort Scottish food, reasonably priced. But what will gladly bring us back to The Cellar Door is the feeling that we have made friends in Scotland; the warm reception and care given makes you feel like youve come home. Well be back.
We had walked around for a while trying to avoid pub food or sky high prices for average food. We walked downstairs with minimal expectations for what looked (at street level) to be an empty restaurant. Downstairs was a little gem – genuine warm welcome, lovely food, good selection, acceptable prices. I would thoroughly recommend this place and ignore the empty upstairs seating.
New chef, creative dishes that are well executed with informed attentive service. A lovely bright room with giant windows, in spite of being in a cellar! Try the Venison, the goat cheese bonbons, and the lovely chocolate dessert. Recommend Highly!
The staff were excellent and I was encouraged to try Hake for the 1st time, as I need to be careful with fish. We both had an excellent 6 courses, with accompanying wine. Mel,m our waitress, has a great and checky humour that we enjoyed. Happily return here.
I booked in advance as it was festival time and a good job I did as many people were turned away. The staff were pleasant and talkative but overall the service was a bit sluggish. The food was well okay. Nothing special and lacking in a lot of areas primarily flavour. Whilst the presentation was good the contents didn’t live up to the image they presented. Even the gaelic coffee wasn’t very gaelic and used a very lame coffee. Overall pretty average and not high on the return list.
We’ll be back.. They are definetely glutton-free friendly. My wife’s GF blade of beef was excellent, I had the salmon over potatoes surrounded by a sauce. It was tender, sweet and luscious. They offered beer from a brewery local to Edinburgh (Stewart), which I always prefer to try something new anyway, and the two I tried we’re great. The decor underground is singular, in the iron girders protruding from above and the multi-level seating area. Well done !
We ate here for our anniversary and had the chateau briand meal. It was delicious and the service was excellent.
