Best Afternoon Tea in Edinburgh with a View – The Willow Tea Rooms for TWO
Blink and you are in danger of missing what must be one of the best afternoon teas in Edinburgh with the most outstanding view.
Hidden away above the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh’s famous Princes Street is one of the city’s best-kept secrets – The Willow Tea Rooms. This isn’t just another afternoon tea venue, it’s a peaceful retreat with one of the most spectacular views of Edinburgh Castle you’ll find anywhere in the city.
Floor to ceiling windows frame one of Edinburgh’s finest views of the castle perched high on the ramparts with views sweeping down to the colourful Princes Street Gardens. A sight to behold, be sure to bring your cameras.
Inside the Willow Tea Rooms, the décor pays homage to one of Scotland’s most legendary sons – Charles Rennie MacIntosh whose distinctive Art Nouveau style transformed Scottish architecture and interiors. His influence can be seen throughout the tea room, creating an atmosphere that’s every bit as memorable as the afternoon tea itself.
Afternoon Tea at the Willow Tea Rooms
Your afternoon tea arrives beautifully presented on a 3-tiered cake stand. You have the choice of a Classic of Savoury Afternoon Tea. The Classic Afternoon Tea offers a delicious selection of fresh, finger sandwiches with fresh, seasonal fillings including Scottish smoked salmon and honey roast ham with mustard mayonnaise.
