Extended hours and extra seatings in August.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next month we’ll trial something different: moving to a rolling opening pattern of four days open, two days closed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This means that our days will be different every week, giving both us and you some variety.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we’re open on a Sunday, this will be for lunch (an Argile first!). We’ll serve a short à la carte menu, priced at £65.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And on the other days we’re open, we’ll be offering pre-theatre drinks and bites from 4:30 to 5:45pm (dishes priced individually from £8-14), as well as our usual tasting menu at 7pm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More details and menus to follow. Bookings are via the link in our bio. We look forward to welcoming!

With February offering a more relaxed pace in the restaurant, I took the opportunity to spend a day somewhere that played an important part in Argile’s origins.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the very early lockdown days of 2020, Edinburgh chefs launched , an initiative which sought to meet three goals: to use up surplus food which couldn’t be served in closed hospitality venues, to give out-of-work chefs a meaningful purpose in the pandemic, and to try to feed as many of Edinburgh’s hungry and/or vulnerable people as possible.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While volunteering at EKFH, I was lucky to meet Scott (among many, many other wonderful volunteers). When I pitched my early restaurant idea to Scott, he offered to help out for a few shifts around the opening, if it ever got off the ground... Fast forward years down the line and Scott - who now works full-time at the charity - is still an important part of Argile’s team, jumping in when needed in the evenings and at weekends.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The charity is still working towards its goals of repurposing surplus food to feed those in need in the city. They would be very grateful for any help you can offer, be that in the form of a donation of your time or money.

A reminder of the events we have coming up this month at Argile.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Starting with of .rest bringing some Mexican warmth to our Edinburgh January. He’ll be cooking a fine-dining tasting menu on Friday night, then a laidback and vibrant all-day breakfast menu on Sunday (with Champagne by the glass from noon).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The following week, ’s Jun Au moves in for a two-day residency while Pomelo gets a kitchen refurb. We last collaborated in 2024 and it was a great success, so we can’t wait to cook together again. This time it’s a plant-based tasting menu for Veganuary, something which gives us both a welcome challenge.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Reservations for all of the events are online, with walk-in space available for the breakfast event on the 18th.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We hope to see you soon to brighten up your January!
