"Prince Gastronome. Once again, I break form and review a chain. Patisserie Valerie locations can be found everywhere, but never outside of the UK, with most infesting London like one of those rashes which feel sooo good when you scratch them. Edinburgh has three.... Patisserie Valeries, not rashes. Why would I review such a location...maybe because I wish to support them. You see, if Patisserie Valerie (and you have to know I am copy/pasting each time I mention them) was coffee-centered like every café chain in North America, I wouldn’t give them a second glance. By default, I would have preferred to avoid a chain in favor of a local independent, but I am glad I was convinced otherwise. For one, Patisserie Valerie centers on cakes, fantastic cakes. They are all about their bakery, so that I can get behind. The service presents Patisserie Valerie as much a restaurant over a traditional café where you pick and choose pastries twisting in a display guarded by plexi. They even offered a winter menu which Savanna and I took advantage of. Three courses for $12.95, and while Savanna ordered the hummus with smoked paprika and warm pita bread with the roast butternut squash stuffed with mozzarella, peppers, basil, and sundried tomato, I had the chicken liver wild mushroom pate with crostini and sunflower shaped ravioli stuffed with asparagus, garden peas, butter and sage. And there will be cake. Or rather a slice of Valerie’s Gateaux. And they were amazing. We each chose one slice of different cakes, taken from a list of about twenty. I don’t know why anyone would want to visit Starbucks with awesome places like Patisserie Valerie sitting around. But, I guess, that’s the way of the world. When I was in London, my mother and I went into a Starbucks to buy a novelty souvenir for a family member. If I ever took her to Patisserie Valerie, that would pretty much be the end of her fascination with that—look, I don’t drink coffee, okay? I could never understand people’s fascination with it. I have tried it numerous times, with sugar, cream, vanilla, topped with chocolate and frothed to my desire, and I have never enjoyed a cup. Patisserie Valerie serves coffee and tea...and cake. So try Patisserie Valerie instead of ordering that double latte enema from the green siren for once. Green siren, you know, the symbol for Starbucks. By the way, did you know that the siren represents manic obsession and death? I’m not kidding; in myth, they murdered you for looking pretty. Still undecided, try this: Go to Google Images and just enter Starbucks. What do you get? You get twenty variations of the logo with the occasional paper cup. The dominant attribute they are trying to convey, which Starbucks promotes, is their logo, not their actual product, though one may argue their logo IS their product. Now, enter Patisserie Valerie and see what you get. Getting hungry aren’t you? Food: 3.5/5 Service: 3/5 Presentation: 3/5 Value: 4/5 Recommendation: 3.5/5"

Patisserie Valerie lure people in with wonderful window displays, thankfully the cakes do live up to expectations however a little more effort is required to get the service up to scratch.

Patisserie Valerie is the perfect spot for breakfast. We enjoyed the pain au chocolat, which was fresh and tasty, along with a cappuccino. The atmosphere is beautiful and the staff is friendly. Highly recommended!

a terrace in the old town of edinburgh, which runs since 1926. I tried a coffee-eclair and a chocolate mousse cake with a tassel grey tee. coffee eclair was so brilliant, while the taste of chocolate mousse cake was average.

I thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience at this restaurant. We opted for afternoon tea and every bite was delightful. The service was excellent and we left feeling full and content. I am looking forward to trying their mille feuille on my next visit.

In addition to the beautiful city of Edinburg, this candy store offers a wide variety of sweets and coffees to its customers. There are many options for those who like quality sweets. The service at this place is very cordial and friendly, leaving everyone at ease. Also, to finish, they have a very good espresso. great option.

The cakes here are phenomenal! It's become a ritual amongst all my friends and birthdays are now just an alibi to get cake from PV. The macarons, eclaires and pastries are all fantastic too. The only setback, according to me is the Ice cream which is too dry and mediocre tasting for my liking; though I've heard that the Irish cream is still pretty good.

I regularly visit this restaurant and it is always busy, especially now during the Edinburgh Festival. I decided to dine here and found that it caters more towards tourists who speak a foreign language or prefer not to deal with rude service. Despite being greeted by a waitress who seemed unenthusiastic, the food and drinks were good. I ordered the Madame Valerie cream tea which included 2 scones, cream, jam, and a pot of tea. The tea was well brewed and I was pleased to find a teapot that didn't spill. The scones were light and fruity with a hint of vanilla, perfectly shaped and baked. The cream was thick and creamy, and I appreciated the variety of jams to choose from. My waitress was frie...

There’s a time and place for cakes, it’s usually either daytime or nighttime and should take place close to your current position. We had passed Patisserie Valerie on a number of occasions and always looked through the window at the fancy cakes. I’m not quite sure why it took us so long to venture in and do more than just look at them, but today was that day. I had already seen exactly what I wanted through the window…. everything! I had to limit myself to just one cake though, the classic éclair! I used to love these growing up, so this would remind me of my youth, a cup of coffee would ensure I remained in my present adult ‘mature’ form though and not run the risk of embarrassing EdinBlogg...
