Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Haymarket

Great service there was a mix up with the booking. We were booked for Sunday lunch but they only do it once a month on the 1st Sunday, the manager booked us in for January and offered us a free lunch in the bar area. Lunch was good the burger was excellent but the steak pie was just ok the gravy was very watery. The staff were very attentive and friendly, even though the bar area was very busy. We will certainly be back for our Sunday lunch and there is a lovely outdoor terrace beside the bar which we will visit during the summer.

We booked for the festive afternoon tea, food was lovely, I’m very fussy and sandwich request was fulfilled (pre messaged restaurant). Cakes were tasty and the ivy craft beer washed it all down nicely. Staff were great & was a lovely atmosphere. thank you

We had booked afternoon tea but their pastry oven had suddenly broken down so we were told in advance and decided to do lunch instead. On arrival we were greeted by Enrique who took us to a table with a beautiful view of Edinburgh and two complimentary glasses of fizz as an apology for not being able to provide the afternoon tea which was a nice touch. Our lunch was lovely and the Sticky toffee pudding was delicious with a decent dollop of ice cream too. We ordered the house champagne which was lovely. A lovely atmosphere and equally lovely attentive staff. I would recommend it and the afternoon tea as we have experienced it before.

We both had the Tagliatelle Bolognese which was very tasty and had plenty bolognese. The crispy zucchini was tasty too. Nice calm atmosphere. We wanted a break before dessert and they were happy to leave us to decide when. All very relaxed.

We found this to be a charming and indulgent experience for summer afternoon tea. The serving size was plenty (we had leftovers to take away) and they graciously allowed us to have more than seven different pots of teas! We stayed for nearly 2.5 hours with no sense of being rushed by the staff. Outstanding!
