Lovely afternoon tea with lovely relaxed surroundings. Staff were attentive & friendly. Sandwiches, savouries and scones were excellent but we personally found the cakes a bit too rich.
We went to afternoon tea at The Palm and almost everything was great. The location is beautiful and our server, Alba, was really nice and attentive. The sandwiches and desserts were great. The big tea list was also really interesting and all our teas were lovely. We weren’t a big fan of the savories and really didn’t like the gazpacho at all. At such high price we expected a little more.
Absolutely stunning! The Palm Court at The Balmoral Hotel is breathtakingly beautiful. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who made the experience feel special. The food was absolutely delicious, from savory bites to sweet treats, and the selection of teas was outstanding. I highly recommend this afternoon tea experience!
High tea at Palm Court, Balmoral, was a lovely experience in an elegant setting. The ambiance was refined, and the live harpist added a beautiful touch. Service was excellent, and the tea selection was outstanding—I only wish I could have tried more! Appetizers and sandwiches were excellent, desserts were lovely, but the scones were dry and overworked. The cucumber gazpacho amuse bouche was a miss—it tasted like soap, and we weren’t the only ones who left it unfinished. Still, a special and memorable afternoon
Wonderful afternoon tea experience. Gift Voucher received as wedding gift. Beautiful, relaxed setting. The food was exquisite, I even sampled a number of things I don't normally eat and throughly enjoyed them all. A tasty cucumber gazpacho with caviar to start, some savoury tartlets, a nice selection of sandwiches, two delicious scones each and a lovely selection of cakes for dessert. Extensive choice of teas and coffees. Staff were all first class and went out their way to make our experience special.
Lovely location for afternoon tea. We had such a great time, the room is beautiful, service is superb and the food is delicious. You get unlimited tea with the afternoon tea service and for those who would rather have coffee, it is also an option. The tea pouring is so much fun to watch.
A classic choice for afternoon tea in Edinburgh, at a classy yet modest environment, with a high standard of service offered. The savoury items were nice. Probably less photogenic than a few other afternoon tea sets available in the city, they were up to the quality we expected, and I particularly liked the pastry with the flavourful haggis. The desserts were more impressive. There were 3 pieces, less in amount yet bigger in size than the typical tea set. Each item got its own good mix of texture and flavour. By the way, great scones and excellent espresso.
A favourite for my wife. I am not keen on afternoon tea in general, but we loved it here. The scones were my favourite were fresh and very tasty. I was not very keen on the deserts at the end though, but my wife loved them. The service was exceptional, all the staff are friendly and professional. The atmosphere was very nice and complemented with relaxing live harp music. Highly recommended for afternoon tea lovers.
Went one afternoon tea after registering previously online to secure my reservation. There were 88 different, decadent loose leaf tea choices! I sat under a sparkling Venetian chandelier sipping tea, eating dainty sandwiches, gourmet desserts, and drinking high end champagne. Celebrate me. Highly recommended if you're in the area.
High Tea and Champagne at the Palm Court stands to be one of the highlights of our time in Edinburgh! Book early and you will not be disappointed. We were greeted with such hospitality and the service was top notch! Drinking tea and listening to a harpist play is a very relaxing way to spend an afternoon off of the feet. The variety of tea was outstanding and the food was exquisite! I highly recommended making a reservation here.
