From the moment we arrived and through the delicious and beautifully presented savouries to the photogenic sweets it was a very nice afternoon. Staff were very good, venue classy and food of a really high standard. Would absolutely recommend

We were greeted at One Square Reception & seated at our table for 2.
The Maitre D was lovely, explaining that we would have a glass of sparkling Jing Tea between savoury & sweet courses to cleanse our palate. The choice of hot Jing Teas is lovely.
When our savoury selection arrived, we were informed of the story behind each selection & of the ingredients before happily tucking in.... the Haggis Bonbon was incredible & I would happily have eaten another one!
The desserts arrived in an open wire cage cake stand & again each was explained carefully before we attempted to devour the cakes.... we didnt manage them all & had to leave Sherlock Holmes.
Overall it was a wonderful Afternoon Tea & I would thoroughly recommend it.

This is the second time we’ve been to One Square for afternoon tea - and it definitely won’t be the last! The staff are helpful, friendly and knowledgable. The setting is beautiful with views across to the Usher Hall. The food however is outstanding. Beautifully presented inside a “book”, pea veloute, roast beef on a brioche roll, pin wheel salmon, fish tart with fluffy potato topping, cream cheese and cucumber finger sandwich, haggis Bon Bon with infusion of neeps and potatoes. A refreshing sparkling jasmine infusion to cleanse the palate then the amazing sweet plates. Fruit and plain scones, Harry Potter peach tart, Sherlock Holmes cranachan, Walter Scott profiterole, Swan Lake blueberry cake they all tasted divine. One has a wide range of teas or if you prefer coffees. We had jasmine tea and Raspberry tea, with our savouries and cappuccino with our sweets. The whole experience is excellent. I would highly recommend.

A pleasant afternoon tea themed around Edinburgh literary themed characters or writers from Robert Burns and Walter Scott to Irvine Welsh and Harry Potter.
The savoury selection had both hot and cold items, highlight was the haggis Bon Bon. The scones were nice and the sweets were creative with our favourite being the Rob Roy inspired chocolate creation.

What a super afternoon we had at One Square! The authors' afternoon tea was imaginatively served and delicious and our waitress, Abbey, was friendly and professional. We'll be back for seconds!

No flexibility on food offered. I advised pre booking that I did not want meat and also advised the staff member on arrival. Regardless meat roll was served up. Also the sandwiches served in both boxes were dried up with stale bread . That said everything else was very nice.

We enjoyed a delicious themed afternoon tea with Prosecco. The service was great also.

The whole idea of the literary tea was different and well executed. The cakes, in particular, looked stunning and were as delicious as they looked.
