Patisserie Valerie - Edinburgh

Amazing! Had afternoon tea with a gift voucher and it was delicious. Said I was vegetarian and was not a problem to get all veggie sandwiches. Scones were warm which was a nice touch. Good selection of cakes and all lovely. Staff were really nice and food came quick.

We had a Buy-a-Gift voucher for afternoon tea which we used here today. The cafe was quite busy but we had called in at the right time and got a table straightaway. Staff were friendly and helpful, and our drinks and food arrived quickly. I'd requested vegetarian sandwiches and overall these were okay, although the cucumber sandwich was a bit underwhelming. Scones were absolutely delicious and cakes were really lovely and light. Overall this was a great experience and a nice treat.

Lovely pastries and very kind staff. I find it unfortunate that the menu displays caloric value as I don’t need numbers that often create an unhealthy relationship with food attached to something I want to enjoy. Would definitely come back again though.

We were given a Buyagift voucher for an afternoon tea here. You visit the Buyagift website and fill in your details. There was no need to book a table as it's walk-in to get a table, so be prepared to wait if it's busy. Luckily, on our visit, we got a table without waiting. We ordered our drinks, latte and a coke, then our food came out. Sandwiches, scones and cakes. The sandwiches we thought could have been a bit better as the fillings were cucumber and butter on one, a slice of ham covered in mustard in another and the third chicken with what looked like pesto ( it was green, we couldn't tell by the taste). The scones were warm and when combined with the jam and clotted cream tasted great. The cakes were super light and tasty. We loved them. The servers were polite, prompt and well presented. The toilet, there was only one, shared, that I saw, was clean and tidy. We did hear from one of the servers that there was no Chef at the time of our visit, so this might be why we got mediocre sandwiches if not I think a change of fillings for these sandwiches would help to improve them. Our deal also gave us the option of choosing cakes to go. As we were going for drinks and walking about Edinburgh, we asked if we could get a box of macarons instead, which we were given. These were lovely, too. The afternoon tea is a lovely light lunch, especially if you are planning on walking about the area and don't want to bag up on a full meal, pity about the sandwiches.

A few months ago, my partner purchased me an afternoon tea here as a present.And it was a delight.The cake were sublime, scones were morish and even the sandwiches felt special.The staff were helpful and friendly. A real treat! Thank you

Had afternoon tea here, the cakes were definitely the highlight - delicious!

Sometimes I buy a whole cake from here, and I am usually satisfied with the quality of cake. Today I sat at the table and ordered a piece of cake, but it was too dry to eat. Only black forest gateau was alright though. I think it may depend on how the cake is fresh and old.
