    I did an internet search for tea rooms in Scotland to visit on our trip to the UK in 2020 when I found Effie’s! But due to the Pandemic, it was two years before we made it. Effie’s is just what I was looking for-so cute and quaint with delicious food! We really enjoyed our afternoon tea there! They served us tea in a sterling silver 1856 tea pot! Even the sugar bowl cover was beautiful! It was a great experience!

    We stopped at this restaurant for lunch on the way to the airport. What a great restaurant. We ordered steak pie and the chicken& ham pie. Both were very well done and full of flavor. The puff pastry was very light and flaky. The steak pie tasted rich and the portion was just right. The chicken pie was also very tasty and the leeks gave it a nice touch. We also ordered teas and the carrot cake. The teas were served in original tea pots dating back to 1800s. The carrot cake was light and moist. The owner was very nice and gave us some background on the dishes as well as provided some tips for the travel.

    A charming place, it feels a little bit like you have stepped back in time when you walk through the door. With old paintings on the wall doilies on the silver sugar pots and old ceramics around. I can honestly say one of the best breakfast experiences I have had. Excellent friendly attentive service. A perfectly cooked Scottish breakfast (really good black pudding) all with the relaxing background of gentle classical music. If you are looking for breakfast in Perth you would be foolish not to give this place a try.

    Fantastic place to go. My daughter won an afternoon tea (for 1) and we took (great) granny along with us! We ordered afternoon tea each and the portions were fantastic! Too much so, we had to take our cakes home in boxes! Staff were lovely, very welcoming and very friendly and helpful! Nothing was too much of a task for them! An experience that will definitely make us want to go back again!

    A delightful traditional tea room serving delicious cakes, soup, an array of bakes and an impeccably presented afternoon tea. Service is attentive, afternoon tea a very reasonable £15.95 (as of August 23) and all served in beautiful silver and china. And the carrot cake really is, as claimed in the menu, gorgeous! The atmosphere takes you back to the 19th century with light classical music and postcards and photos from Perth’s history cleverly displayed on the tables and walls. All in all a delightful place to spend a couple of hours and I could easily have topped up my tea and sat for longer but sadly not was closing time. 😆 It is a point to note that it is cash only but there is an ATM just up the street.

    We went for a tea/coffee and cake. Last days of our Scottish highlands tour with family. Loved the authentic atmosphere like a time capsule. Tea and coffee was better than anyplace else until time (sorry but we didn’t find acceptable coffee anywhere). Carrot cake was amazing, good Victorian sponge and we tried a classic cake with dried fruits that I fell in love. Apple crumble was like at home. 32£ for 4 persons was so fair. It was an experience that we will remember, totally recommend.

    Lovely quaint little cafe, perfect for afternoon tea, okd fashioned china tea sets, silver teapots and trays. You get one choice of sandwich, either plain or fruit scone and one choice of cake carrot, Victoria sandwich or lemon drizzle, all homemade and delicious. Would have liked it better if scones and cakes were bitesize with a little bit of each flavour rather than the large slice of cake and scone offered, but very tasty nonetheless.
