One Square Edinburgh

we had a lovely afternoon tea experience here today! two of us were vegan and the third person went for the regular selection of dishes and none of us felt like our version of the food was an afterthought. both the savory and sweet dishes were delicious and well thought through. the tea selection was amazing as well and we were able to try a lot of them throughout our time here. go for a light breakfast if you want to enjoy the high tea, it is very filling, you won't leave hungry. special thanks to our fantastic server/host dm tyler who made us feel so very welcomed and took great care of us. he really matched our energy and we loved chatting with him!

We went in advance of a show at the Usher Hall. The brasserie opened at 6:00 p.m. and we were there at that point. We ordered almost immediately from the set menu and all chose a main course and dessert. The first course took almost 45 minutes to arrive and we were advised by the waitress, only upon us prompting her, that there had been pre-orders made and that's why our food was delayed. Seemed a very odd and unreasonable excuse, particularly when we had to seek it; why should that be our problem when we arrive before anybody else? The portions could only be described as tiny. Not quite small, simply tiny. We agreed that it tasted ok but nothing special. The bill was £115 for three of us for two courses, one fizzy water and one coffee. It was a slow, laborious, instantly forgettable meal and an overall very poor experience for somewhere that tells us it's five star. Purely based on this visit, I would recommend you don't go and we will not return. The waitress was very polite and pleasant, everything else was at best mediocre and at worst totally unacceptable.

Excellent meal before going to see Lulu at the Usher Hall which is just across the road. Very relaxed and unhurried.Jordan, our waiter was very friendly and attentive.
