Fabulous afternoon tea at the Waldorf Astoria! The service was friendly and delightful, the scrumptious tasty treats were divine❣️The tea choices were wonderful as well. Highly recommend and make a reservation in advance.
I was thoroughly impressed with the iconic location and stylish sophistication of this historic establishment. During my visit, I enjoyed afternoon tea accompanied by the soothing sounds of a live piano. The service was impeccable, and the food was divine. The selection of teas and finger sandwiches was exceptional, and the scones with clotted cream and jam were a particular highlight.
We had afternoon tea here and it was lovely! The food was good and the staff were very attentive. It’s a bit more pricey at £55 per person but worth it for a special occasion!
Wonderful breakfast menu! We enjoyed the Scottish Salmon trio and Eggs Royale (eggs Benedict with Salmon rather than ham)- as well as a side of Haggis!
The haggis was incredible! Beautiful seasonings! (First time having it- and it didn’t disappoint)!
As Diamond members the breakfast was complimentary with our stay! (Otherwise it’s £30/person)
Also enjoyed a pot of the Peacock alley blend tea and a cappuccino.
Beautiful Narnia themed decor for the holidays!
I knocked one star off because the Pastry basket was so-so, and the service felt rushed and lacking.
Amazing food and great service. Dinner looked after by an amazing Italian manager and she does a great job. Breakfast team are super efficient and friendly and know great service. Could not recommend enough. The pancake day special was beautiful 😍
Afternoon tea was absolutely brilliant in every way. Slightly more expensive than other afternoon tea but definitely worth it. The setting is lovely with the high glass ceiling providing lots of natural light, the staff are attentive, friendly and cannot do enough to help. We were there with my young daughter and Iona couldn’t have been nicer to her, explaining all the food and not minding about the mess. The food was fantastic, it looked great and tasted better. I couldn’t recommend this place enough for an Afternoon Tea on a special occasion.
So luxurious. I enjoyed the beauty of the place. The scones and chef cake of the day were delicious. It worths coming back ❤️
I tried the afternoon tea. It was wow .. super delicious.. the service was excellent. Everything was just perfect 👌🏼
We stopped in Edinburgh on our cruise. Experiencing an afternoon tea was my goal. Peacock Alley did not disappoint. Each pastry was better than the last. Making our experience even more delightful was the service we received from the lovely Iona. She made these American tourists feel very special.
Lovely experience with their SCIENCE Afternoon Tea with server Iona. The sandwiches, cakes and scones were all delicious and the perfect size. Iona suggested the Cloud Catcher for me since I’m caffeine free. It was wonderful. And my husband enjoyed the Lapsang Souchong, Darjeeling First Flush, and the Peacock Alley Blend. Finishing with a cup of their decaf was perfect. Iona was superb and delightful to talk with.
Who doesn't love a Waldorf Astoria? We've been to 3 Waldorf hotels, and while we weren't staying there, we popped in for tea on a cold, windy, rainy afternoon in Edinburgh. We had no reservation but were treated with such gracious accommodation by the maitre d'hotel. We even ended up leaving with a Thank-you gift of tea!
