If you're looking to catch up with friends or family and unwind over afternoon tea, you're in the right city.
We regularly report on Edinburgh's top afternoon teas - we're a little spoiled for choice.
Just earlier today, we published an article on city centre institution The Dome's new Morning Tea experience - emphasising it doesn't really matter what time of the day it is for beautiful cakes and sandwiches.

But a place that's been on our radar for a quite while isn't another big name food and drink destination.
In February, we featured a tiny Corstorphine Tea Room on a list of our top coffee shops to visit this year.
Based on St John's Road, it's located a little to the west of Edinburgh Zoo, well away from the city centre.
And such is it's popularity, according to TripAdvisor, Bon Tea Room is the capital's top-rated place when it comes to tea and coffee - while it's also considered the best for desserts as well. Google and Facebook reviews back it up with further praise too.
The beautifully quaint cafe, painted in pink and blue and with several nods to famous Scottish architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, prides itself on traditional English afternoon teas and their towers of delicious-looking homemade sandwiches, cakes and bakes.
Here's why people rave about it and what they say.
A recent customer - who ordered a takeaway afternoon tea - hailed the scones as the best they'd ever had and said: "The cakes are a work of art and the gluten free scones are the best I have ever had.
"I would definitely recommend Bon to anyone especially to those of you who are gluten free and perhaps struggle to find somewhere which is constantly excellent."
Another review added: "The mini scones, cakes, tartlets, macarons and choux pastry swans were delightful, fresh, tasty and just the right size to indulge in them all.
"And the hand-crafted white chocolate tea-pot and cups on the top tier were divine.
"Absolutely beautiful take-away afternoon tea and my elderly relatives thoroughly enjoyed it."
And further feedback echoed that Bon's afternoon teas would make for a great gift, with one customer adding: "Fabulous and plentiful afternoon tea delivered as a gift to friend. She was over the moon with it. So was I when I saw the photos.
"Definitely recommend. Loved that there was also a stand."
As well as the presentation of the food, the friendly service of the owners has often received praise too.
One person said: "Really nice wee place, lovely lady who runs it. Afternoon teas are amazing for taste and value and look so fancy!"
Meanwhile, by many accounts, customers seem to feel their experience was very reasonably priced. One guest commented: "Can’t recommend Bon enough. The afternoon tea was amazing and superb value for money.
"You pick and choose the fillings for the sandwiches so you know they are made fresh to order. In addition to scones and sweet treats on the stand, we were also offered a slice of cake to finish up!
"We will definitely be going back soon."
And another satisfied customer encouraging people to pop by simply described Bon as the 'best' in Edinburgh, urging fellow locals to take a trip out to Corstorphine.
They said: "Definitely the prettiest, tastiest and best value for money afternoon tea you will find anywhere in Edinburgh. Give it a try - you wont be disappointed!"
