Despite some misunderstanding over our order, it was dealt with in a professional, sympathetic way. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal & appreciated the concern of the staff. Will definitely return!

We were a bit disappointed. The menu was very limited. Not even soup on it. We did not realise that it has no longer got a connection with the adjoining cafe which always has beautiful healthy food. The waiter was very good. He explained the situation but he was restricted in what he could do. There were very few people eating in it while the adjoining cafe was full. The atmosphere was very quiet so my party could converse easily. We were not rushed from our table which was a bonus. Can’t see this doing well. We certainly won’t be in a hurry to go back. Sad as the waiter is lovely and he is enjoying working there.

Service and welcome good. The menu selection disappointing.. The food we had was good. We will in future eat in the cafe area which is good and offers the same.

Very kindly and attentive staff, nice peaceful space compared to main cafe, great we could book a table, quick service, lovely food and no sense that we were being rushed.

The food had flavour and was tasty but wasn't warm. We had two of the same dish and they were both tepid. On a cold day when you spend £11 on a dish you would expect the food to be warming.

Friendly and efficient customer service. Nice balance of sweet and savoury and especially welcoming to have a little cup of delicious piping hot soup on a cold day. The decaf coffee was very flavoursome- a rare find. Thank you

Had a really lovely afternoon tea here. All the food was delicious and was so abundance that there was plenty for us to take home with us to enjoy later. Every member of staff we spoke to was lovely and my mum and I had a great time

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Our afternoon tea was delicious with a unique selection of savouries, scones and cakes. My favourites were the tiny cup of yellow split pea and pepper soup, mini croissant with goats cheese and the amazing gingerbread. Presentation was perfect with my vegetarian selection of savouries offered on a separate plate. Excellent value for money. Thank you :)

Four of us had a very pleasant afternoon tea at the Portrait Gallery cafe. The food was excellent value for money and the service was above and beyond expectations. We would all recommend the venue, particularly it being conveniently located near the centre of Edinburgh, and we hope to return soon.

Riley was amazing at organising our afternoon tea. The gluten free platter was brilliant. The gluten free scones were the best I've ever had. Nice to have reserved table in a quieter area.

We enjoyed our afternoon tea at Cafe Portrait. The food and service was great. They could improve on the ambience IMO for the afternoon tea room. It's a pretty basic cafeteria look - although we knew this ahead of time. It's a nice, reasonably priced tea spot.

Fantastic friendly and efficient service and best afternoon tea we have ever had. Soup and savouries were delicious and a lovely change from the sandwiches which usually come with afternoon tea at other places. Lovely selection of scones and cakes- looked good and tasted even better. Can’t wait to go back!

We loved our afternoon tea here! We had the room to ourselves and it was very peaceful. Portions were great, felt like a total steal. The wait staff was so kind and were very prompt. Hope to come back next time I’m in town!

There were 4 of us enjoying a lovely afternoon tea including one needing gluten free which was very good. I would have preferred sandwiches to the savouries to be honest but scones and cakes were very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. The separate room was great too
