It is a very good place to go for a high tea experience. It gives you a very generous amount of food and the quality is excellent. For the afternoon tea it is a bit pricy though but it is worth it. The service was excellent and at the start they would pour your tea in a very special way. The waiter/waitress were also very nice and helped you in every way you need. I highly recommend this place and it is definitely worth it😊 (also it is a big amount so I suggest don’t eat lunch)
Mehr Schein als Sein
Der Tee, wenn man das so nennen kann, war nur heißes Wasser. Die Sandwiches schmeckten nach absolut gar nichts. Volle Punktzahl bekommt hier nur das Ambiente. Sehr schade.

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!
Wer sich etwas ganz Tolles leisten möchte, sollte dieses Highlight in Edinburgh keinesfalls verpassen. Man wird nicht enttäuscht sein. Denn es ist ein Erlebnis der Sonderklasse. Wir haben im Palm das Afternoon Tea genossen.
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!
Service was excellent! The fabulous and splendid staff make the high or afternoon tea experience a must. It was genuine and natural in their presentation and made the time very enjoyable.
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!
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.
