Afternoon Tea
Invented in the 1800s by the seventh Duchess of Bedford to stop her hunger pangs between lunch and dinner, afternoon tea has become quite the thing to do for a leisurely couple of hours in Edinburgh, and one of the nicest ways to spend time with friends, colleagues or loved ones.
The Edinburgh Residence was made for afternoon tea. Built during the Victorian era as a series of townhouses in the Edinburgh's West End, it has seen many a polite tea party in its time. We've kept this ambience alive, to enable you to enjoy some delicious afternoon sweets and savouries in peaceful, elegant surroundings with your favourite people (but without the stiff collars and corsets). You can also now take tea outside in leafy Rothesay Terrace, if it's a sunny day.
The menu is served between 12 noon and 18:00
