About
Situated within the 5-star The Balmoral, an Edinburgh Icon at an unparalleled address in the heart of the city. A few minutes' walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station, Palm Court's award-winning Afternoon Tea is the perfect place to stop when in the city.
Palm Court's glass-domed ceiling and Venetian chandelier provide a relaxed yet grand setting beneath the green palm trees. During Afternoon Tea, live harp music from the balcony fills the air with gentle melodies, creating a serene atmosphere.
The Afternoon Tea menu, fit for royalty, includes 88 loose-leaf teas, poured tableside during the tea-pouring ceremony performed by their skilled team. Among the menu items are savouries such as whipped Lanark Blue, ruby grapes, and pine nut tarts, as well as roast Ayrshire ham sandwiches, warm scones, and decadent handcrafted cakes.
A selection of Champagnes are also available that will add a touch of elegance to the experience, alongside seasonal drinks such as iced teas, specialty coffees, and bubble tea.
Throughout the year, special Afternoon Tea menus are on offer for occasions such as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.
