Tucked away on Dundas Street, Under The Table is a sophisticated basement restaurant that has quickly become an Edinburgh favorite. As the sister venue to 'The Table,' it maintains a high standard of culinary excellence with a more accessible, relaxed atmosphere. The menu focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients used in creative ways, such as octopus on sourdough or smoked haddock with orzo. While the stone-walled interior provides a beautiful backdrop, the space can become quite lively and noisy during peak hours. Whether you're visiting for their acclaimed set lunch or an evening of fine wine and small plates, the presentation and service consistently impress.

Under The Table in Edinburgh is widely praised for its exceptional food quality and creative presentation, earning it a near-perfect rating. Guests frequently highlight the freshness of the ingredients and the unique flavor combinations, such as the octopus on sourdough. The restaurant's atmosphere is described as upscale and beautiful, though several reviewers noted that the basement setting with stone walls can lead to high noise levels when busy. The service is consistently lauded as professional and welcoming, adding to the overall positive experience. While most find the menu delightful, a few visitors found specific experimental dishes on the set lunch menu to be hit-or-miss. Overall, it is considered a hidden gem that offers a high-end dining feel at a more accessible price point than many city-centre competitors.
