Arbor Tea Room in Waverley

As with similar experiences, half is in the food and half is in the locations. The Colonnades excelled at both. The food was excellent and the timing was well-paced. The music balanced the ambiance nicely. The waiting staff struck the perfect balance of attentiveness and space.

A gem in every way: The setting, the service, the food, the atmosphere....

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.

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

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.
