“After an incredible decade, I have made the decision to close the doors to my first restaurant, Aizle. Firstly, thank you to our amazing team that have moulded Aizle to what it is, to all the producers, and to our guests - we have loved having you. I look forward to continuing our path, together.”
Aizle quickly earned a loyal following for its seasonal, ingredient-led tasting menus, and in 2020, moved to the Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel, where it has continued to evolve.
Reflecting on the journey, Ralston said: “When I first opened Aizle, I wanted to do something that would challenge me as a young chef, provide a place that people would choose to work in and serve food that would make people happy. Over the past 11 years, we’ve moved homes, met brilliant people along the way, served some great food and together, built a restaurant to be proud of. Anyone who was a part of Aizle - thank you.”
While the decision to close Aizle was not taken lightly, Ralston says the time has come to focus more deeply on his growing portfolio, including Lyla, Tipo, Noto, and a new project currently in development.
Any remaining Aizle vouchers will be honoured across the group’s other venues.
