Award-winner Radford to open new city restaurant

AWARD-winning restaurauteur Andrew Radford is to open a new restaurant in the Capital.

Radford, best known for award-winning eaterie The Atrium, above the Traverse Theatre, and sister restaurant Blue, is to start his new venture in a 19th century former theatrical prop and costume store on nearby Lady Lawson Street.

He also plans to grow fruit and vegetables there, and set up his own on-site smokehouse, butchery and bakery.

The Atrium and Blue closed suddenly last February after 18 years.
