"I would not normally have gone into an london chain if in a holiday in edinburgh, but this was a busy day full of walks, sights and shopping opportunities that led to us forgetting to eat a bite. when we came past the patisserie valerie in the rose street, this seemed the only quiet little caffe that had burst for us. patisserie valerie is always a attraction because of the incredibly beautiful looking cakes they always have on the display; in the rule this is an attempt that I do not even resist to enter the place. but I was on vacation and why not? we quickly packed a place and decided to get the afternoon cream tea. what arrived was a pot with tasty besttee, a selection of jams, a few rich cream cheese and hot scorpion. I was happy at the end of everything. the best part was the skorn with apricot jam on the one side and sawn cheese on the other side to squash; that was delicious and sinful, which is always a performance during a holiday meal. the service was fast and attentive, and fortunately they have provided us with refills of jams that were added to only the brown points that are awarded to these branches. I am sure what is available in this industry is quite identical to what is available in all patisserie valeries in Great Britain. Nevertheless, this will be an unforgettable experience for me because with my afternoon tea experience, how lively the location was and the devon cream cheese that I put on camp in my bauch."

"After booking a table at the restaurant (17/02/18) because the reviews were quite good it is always disappointing to be someone who didn't get a great experience. We arrived on time and were taken to our seats after a few minutes of waiting. Nice atmosphere a dozen people around us some with and some without food and a lovely view of the strand. Unfortunately the view was the best bit, by a long way. After waiting over 20 minutes to get a drinks order (I had to flag down a waiter) and then another 10 minutes to receive 2 glasses of prosseco, a pint and a large glass of wine we had our food order taken. With a waiting time of just over 30 minutes for a starter it was a long time to wait for a mediocre dish. The scallops were average, nothing special. They were meant to be seasoned with spice but tasted plain. The other starter we had, the pea and crab chowder was more a soup with tinned peas poured into it and a few pieces of crab meat occasionally appearing within. Not a great start considering other people around us had food that came quickly and looked and smelled great. Another wait for mains, not as long as for starters but still noticeable, where even the waitress came over and told us she would check on our food. The lamb rump tasted ok but had clearly been left under a heat lamp as it was just warm when it arrived. The salad that came with it was missing half of the things from the menu! The other dish we ordered, Quinoa and grilled portobello mushroom salad, was the saddest and most dissapointing looking dish if ever seen. It was literally a hand full of quinoa a few salad leaves and some cold slices of mushroom atop it. Again missing ingredients that it stated on the menu. After taking into consideration the wait and the poor quality in the food and long wait times we left paying only for the drinks and starters and more importantly hungry. Still after only drinks and a starter it came to roughly £47, less than impressive for value. Dissapointing!"
