Visited here for a special afternoon tea, what an experience. From the moment we entered The Balmoral we were greeted and welcomed into a beautiful reception and the Palm Court. The surroundings were stunning, staff polite and knowledgeable and the whole afternoon was amazing. The food was tasty, fresh and so much of it; offered fresh tea throughout.A truly magical afternoon and a must visit; now our number 1 for afternoon tea easily replacing The Palm Court, The Plaza Hotel New York!

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.

Enjoyed our first Afternoon Tea. Hostess was great and we enjoyed the presentation immensely. I have mixed feelings on the sandwiches but mostly because I'm a meat and potatoes type of fellow. The tea was great I tried the Emporers golden eyebrow, which was mellow and smooth. The scones were terrific and the desert selection was well worth the whole experience. If you want a true tea experience " This is the place!"

I visited on October 24th, a party of two people. It is located within the Balmoral, one of Edinburgh’s landmarks. We had opted for the afternoon tea which consists of several tea choices, an amuse bouche, the classic afternoon tea tower with savouries, finger sandwiches and scones and after that pastries. I have to say that the amuse bouche and the tower as well as the teas were excellent. Our server was also very professional and helpful and made the experience memorable for us. In the end they also gave us a tin with some breakfast tea to take home. However, I am deducting one star because I feel like some of the pastries could be better. Overall, though, it was a superb afternoon!

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.

The Palm Court’s afternoon tea was an incredible experience! I have never received such high-quality service in my life. The attentive staff and live harp music made the afternoon feel so elegant. The tea selection was massive - when my friend asked for the whole list, they provided a book with over 50 different teas listed inside. The food was delicious and flavourful, and I wasn’t expecting to feel so full afterwards! They kindly boxed my desserts for me and even provided us with tins of tea to take home! They also have the most beautiful bathroom I’ve ever seen. The price is so worth it!

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.

Palm Court is situated within the Balmoral Hotel on Princes Street, Edinburgh. Whether morning coffee, afternoon tea or a meal, it's a joy to be there. The staff are absolutely tremendous, helpful, efficient and with a Hospitality training that is second to none, this under the warm and gentle guidance of the Manager Omar. Ambient surroundings and a gentile yet relaxed atmosphere. I use this often it's Wonderful.

The Palm Court is a beautiful space, filled with natural light and featuring a stunning glass dome that creates a bright and airy atmosphere. The classic decor and comfortable seating add to the sense of luxury and sophistication. The menu features a delightful array of sweet and savoury treats, all beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. The sandwiches were freshly made and the fillings were delicious. The knowledgeable and friendly staff were on hand to provide recommendations and ensure that our tea was brewed to perfection.
