Colonnades in Edinburgh

Everything was amazing. Tea, food and vibe… The price is worthy. Add details, I was struggling find the entrance it is just next to the cathedral. Also need to pre reservations.

I have been to many afternoon tea places in London but this one is in my top 3 with far superior ingredients. I would say normally I am not a big fan of sandwiches as they are often dry at other afternoon tea places, however here it was perfectly fresh and soft. The savoury dishes were really exquisite same goes for the sweet dishes. The tea was wonderful, I would recommend the Lapsang Souchong with the savoury dishes and then the chai with ginger for the sweet dishes. The setting was beautiful!

Wonderful festive special afternoon tea. Everything was first class, served in lovely surroundongs by friendly and efficient staff. A little expensive, but well worth the extra.

Not cheap, but worth the experience. The food was delicious and the staff very helpful and attentive. I would recommend here to anyone, especially as a treat

Excellent afternoon tea. The food was beautifully presented,and of the highest quality, the service attentive without being overbearing and the venue is beautiful. Would heartily recommend having afternoon tea in the heart of the old town.

For me, this place rates much higher than some of the well known afternoon tea places in London. Everything tasted so fresh and tried three different teas during my visit. Set in a lovely library, the atmosphere only adds to the experience. Highly recommend to treat yourself for an afternoon delight.

Such a fantastic afternoon tea experience. Great service, amazing food and drink, exquisite atmosphere. A must visit if you are in Edinburgh.

Possibly the best high tea in the country. Stunning surroundings incredible food and wonderful service

Fabulous afternoon tea, it felt very special. Loved the food - no boring sandwiches in sight. We had two trays, one savory, one sweet and it was plentyful. Great selection of teas and coffees and excellent, excellent service. Would love to go back.

Having afternoon tea here. It is the best time of my trip in Edinburgh. So many excellent tea options to selected. Savoury and dessert are absolutely beautiful and delicious. Staffs are really care and great customer service. Really worth for what I paid. If I have chance to visit Edinburgh again I will definitely come back to this restaurant again. I wish I can give this place more than 5 stars as they deserve more than 5 stars.
