Stuart and I worked together in New York some 12 years ago.

We have stayed in contact, when I moved back to the UK 3 years ago his restaurant went on my list of places to visit.

I took my Dad to Edinburgh for a Father’s Day treat.. Aizle was our first stop.

I was so excited to take my Dad to restaurant that was led by a chef on top of his game.

Aizle has been open 5 years now, Stuart and his wife Crystal have  created something very special, with heart and soul.

Stuart has a similar concept to Food by JL, no menu, seasonal and using produce based on what a available locally. So it all resonated...

The food was inventive, tasty and full of life and ambition.

He is a proper Scottish chef, big flavours with hearty cooking and lots of love being transferred into his food.

If you are in Edinburgh you have to go https://www.aizle.co.uk/

He is soon to open a more casual place with the same ethos.

Well done mate, proud of you and all your achievements.
