  “Such a cool place to have a few drinks in. Go downstairs and you feel as if you’ve entered into a different world. The unique cellar spots for people to sit in is fantastic! We made reservations for 6 and had a blast! Just an amazing place and atmosphere is beyond amazing. Service is excellent and the wine list is long! Don’t pass it by. It’s a must do!”

  “Great place for wine lovers! Place itself is cozy cellars below street level. Service was welcoming. They have big selection of wines and differrent tasting menus where is four different wines. I took the red wine tasting. All the wines were good and interesting. Tasting menu was reasonably priced as well, I got four wines for 19£. Wines came with little backstory and tasting notes which was a nice detail.”

  “Went on a Sunday evening to hear some Bossa Nova and have dinner. The fish stew was good - perfect portion size, with nice amount of fish - seasoning was a bit bland. The wine list is impressive, with about 30 choices by the glass. I enjoyed every one I had.”

  “Great spot off Rose Street. We came here for lunch before visiting Johnnie Walker - that could make it quite busy in summer, although we had no wait. Nice British menu, all the classic your group might be looking for and SOLID wine menu for those who (like me) were doing whisky tasting out of obligation and need a nice glass of wine.”

  “A truly unique dining experience! We had an incredible seafood dinner with perfectly paired wines. Sitting in the historic, vaulted cellars created such a cozy and special atmosphere. The seafood was incredibly fresh and the wine selection was outstanding. It’s the perfect spot for a memorable evening in Edinburgh. Highly recommended!”

  “Whighams Wine Cellars was a solid first-night dining experience in Edinburgh. Service was friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in — they made us feel right at home. The vibe is relaxed and a little hidden, tucked a few steps below street level, giving it a cozy, slightly dim atmosphere that works well. The fish and chips were very good, though portion size could be a touch bigger. The Cullen skink was also good — rich and flavorful. Prices were fair, and the location was convenient for us. Overall, a comfortable spot with good food, great service, and a laid-back local feel. Saluti”

  “We just went for drinks so no food rating but would definitely go back to sample the menu another time - we just stopped in for drinks before dinner… and then after dinner the next day as well. The atmosphere is fab and the setting is really cool, you can really see where the old cellars would have been. The staff were friendly, service was fast, and there is a great selections of wines and cocktails - great date night location”
