Whighams Wine Cellars

I returned again recently for a wine tasting session. It was really well run, very enjoyable and the nibbles were great. I will definitely be looking out for more wine tastings. ‐------------------------------------------ Good quality food and a nice selection of wines. Lively atmosphere. Friendly staff. Definitely worth trying.

Came here for the Christmas menu and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. Me and my grandmother got the prawn cocktails and woww those bowls we sooo clean. The cleanest I've ever seen probably. Shout out to those dishwashers man!

This came as a complete surprise!! It's a bar right??..great people, great wine & beer... fantastic music.and OMG great food too?? That's a score 💯 Be sure to try the cod and the hummus with caramelized onions. and ...sticky toffee pudding is ridiculous!!!! Hats of to the chef and staff🧑‍🍳.

Fantastic! The wine flight was super fun with some delicious choices. Scottish oysters are the best I’ve ever tasted! And my burger with local cheese was juicy and flavorful. I’ve saved this for my next trip to Edinburgh.

For a pub the food was fresh and good. Recommend skink. Service was very good. Fries are great. Good selection of beer too. Dog friendly

Great Bar Dinner. HAS LIVE MUSIC EVENTS REGULARLY JAZZ BLUES AND MORE. Sunday night great night for Live Jazz and Jam. Also great selection of wines and meals served. Service is very good .

Fantastic Food Very professional and helpful staff Had lunch here and a great atmosphere too

Arrived Sunday 7.30 pm. Was in end booth as requested a quiet spot, perfect! Never felt forgotten despite being on the outskirts! Lovely wine menu and loved the fact so many by the glass, really enjoyed the food. Food service was really quick. Will be returning!

Really lovely food and service with a smile. Good options for gluten free with clearly labelled. Gluten free oat cakes to die for! Had a starter, main & dessert with excellent wine and an alcohol cafe to end the night with. Also great outdoor smoking facilities with heaters! You don’t get this experience often! Will definitely be returning to this venue for another meal. Highly recommend!

Amazing food and wine. It was a sunrise dinner and my best friend chose this place to celebrate. Loved all courses, but the cullenskink soup and sticky toffee pudding were probably my favourite courses. Looking forward to go back for them.

Great food and staff here. Warm and friendly, with live music on many nights of the week too

Great food for a good price, very good wine selection and the kindest service on Edinburgh, specially given by Elsa 😘

Very good kitchen, nice ambiente

Cullen skink ! The best soup I had ever try in my life! The waiters its very kind and funny!

Good food and wine list. We visited on a Sunday and there was excellent live jazz!

Great place to have a lunch or a dinner. Lots of beers, great wine list, nice food. In rush hours the service can be a little slow.

A favourite haunt for almost 4 decades! Another visit yesterday to celebrate a birthday, food fabulous and staff as fantastic as ever !

Great atmosphere. Great food. Mariana was a 10/10.

Found this lovely place by accident, what a happy accident! My wife and I absolutely loved it. Food was wonderful, wine flights were tremendous, and service was amazing. We had our own little “cave” to sit in all to ourselves; very romantic. Also enjoyed live jazz on a Sunday night. Could not recommend more! Wish we had one of these in our neighborhood.

Recommended to me be the concierge at the Caledonian and did not disappoint. The Cullen skink soup, which I had never heard of, was just delicious. Smoky, rich, and perfect. The chips/fries were perfect! And the sticky toffee pudding with honeycomb on top was just amazing. Prices are also very reasonable.

Delicious food, good and friendly service and nice atmosphere.

Great cosy little cellar with bookable cubbies for about 10

The food has always been excelent. The wine list is exceptional and the beer menu for a wine bar is first class. Truly is a hidden gem of Edinburgh.

First time here with my friend and it was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. A great choice of wines which we struggled to choose from. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and friendly, we'll definitely be back.

Total class from top to bottom. They went out of their way for us this evening to top off an already incredible night. Their sticky toffee pudding is insanely good. A must stop if you're in Edinburgh!

I have only been here once to hear some jazz a few years ago. Very lively place, can get a bit noisy but great atmosphere. Good place to eat. The bar is one side and the dining is on the other, lots of little arches to sit under. There are two entrances on different sides of the street. I met up with a good friend I hadn't seen for a while, so it was a good meeting spot. There is outside seating. Staff were very friendly, attentive and welcoming. They have a fab cocktail selection, wines beers and spirits as well as a good menu, we loved our visit especially being able to catch with a good friend.

Great atmosphere, wide seating area and plenty wines choices we had a white dry bottle and it was delicious, we didn’t have any food but the dishes looked pretty tasty and well presented! They also have a outdoor seating area, very central location on the edge of Charlotte square. I didn’t take any pictures this time but I would definitely go again. There are also bar seats so solo wine drinkers will not feel left out 😊 Perfect for a posh wine date or an elegant work dinner!

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

Good little spot for an afternoon drink and snack. Service was a bit spotty but definitely worth the stop if in the area

Great little place for a drink. Enjoyed the vibe. Wine was excellent. Staff were extremely friendly. Would definitely come back.

Long time since visiting Whigams. Still the same, not much has changed. Perhaps go again next year. Very old school. Good place for visitors perhaps to find an establishment that stays the same and does not try to be trendy. 10/10 for that.

A big pub with a restaurant we enjoyed our food and drink here. Seafood features a lot in the menu as does lots of Scottish produce. Went for the seafood platter for two and it is indeed a feast, we had fries and bread too to keep it company. Innes & Gunn original time wash it down. Didn’t stop there, had sticky toffee pudding and ice cream and Anster Cheddar and Highland Blue cheeses.

A pleasant lunch. Downstairs location which creates a very pleasant atmosphere. Spacious and good size and spaced tables. Staff were friendly. The menu is surprisingly small, no set lunch, but the food we had was excellent. Glass of house wine was also very decent. Coffee was excellent. Feels more like a wine bar than a restaurant in some ways which is fair enough. We enjoyed the lunch and would certainly return. Price was about standard for restaurants in the area.

A nice and lively bar right in the heart of Edinburgh city centre, just steps from Princes Street! Descending from street level, you’ll find yourself in this unusual yet elegant bar, with neat little subterranean niches to one side, and the main bar opening up to the right. The niches are great for a more private drink, with padded semicircular seating and table in the centre. Anyone over about 5ft 6in tall we want to be aware that the entry is low, so mind your head on! A nice selection of beers and other beverages are on offer, along with a nice food menu to sate your hunger.

Got to visit Whighams as part of a food tour. Service was quick, the space was cool, and the food was tasty.

Great burger, with the possibility to add bacon and cheeses. The perfect setup for the perfect burger!

Lovely setting in a grand old building. The service was very attentive and nice. Food was pretty good. The Goan fish curry was well executed (good spice) and was nice with a bottle of Macon Chardonnay. Really enjoyable evening and would return. Reasonably priced as well.

It is a really good place for a nice meet-up, large or small. Good vibes and nice cozy booths that keep your group gathered and offer little to no interruptions. A definite recommendation for locals and visitors.

Christmas menu disappointing especially dry turkey. We should have sent it back. Most tables empty despite us being contacted to pre-order.
