Whilst Callendar is further afield than the location of most of our reviews, it’s well worth a visit. The lovely wee town, known to foodies for the marvellous Mhor Tearoom and Mhor Fish restaurant, is around an hour from Edinburgh by car. It’s also a great place for gift shopping,…
Ever since Anteaques in South Clerk Street closed, I’ve rather lamented a good place to have an afternoon tea this side of Edinburgh. Well, that is until now. Following extensive renovations, the Victoria Pub on Causewayside has re-opened as continental gem Damm27 and is serving afternoon tea as well as…
The Edinburgh Fringe has plenty to delight foodies but so does the Edinburgh Book Festival, which runs from tomorrow, 11 – 27 August. Two events I will definitely be taking in are their Afternoon Tea event in the Spiegeltent. Not only do you get to hear tales from two great cookery…
I’ve been banging on about this for ages and it seems finally, someone has listened. While I love an afternoon tea, I always long for one with more savoury options and at last, The Lantern Room at the Marriott has answered my prayers in the form of The Bookcase Afternoon…
I have a few obsessions in my life – good food and wine and a weekly dose of some form of culture. It’s even better when the two can be combined and my first world problem is normally debating where to eat that’s good value before the theatre, cinema or…

Middle layer: Figs in almonds and pistachio cannoli. Those figs! I’d like to by them by the dozen.
Divino Enoteca invited a group of Edinburgh-based food bloggers to try their Italian afternoon tea. With prosecco no less. And a fig pastry I will rave about for weeks.
The Edinburgh Fringe may have been going for over a week now but The Edinburgh Book Festival (12 – 28 August) actually only starts tomorrow. Why not tingle your taste buds with their afternoon tea events taking place in the Spiegeltent?
Don’t worry, I haven’t been misbehaving but as EdinburghFoody’s culture vulture, I love nothing better that soaking up some culture in our city, followed by a spot of afternoon tea so what better excuse than to accept an invitation to the Scottish Cafe at the Scottish National Galleries, preceded by…
We’re typically home birds at Edinburgh Foody and most of the events and reviews we attend centre around life in the capital, but I thought it would be nice to break the mould and share a recent afternoon tea experience at Gleneagles. Scones at Gleneagles Afternoon Tea
