Friends and family,
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of Agrius Restaurant. Our last service will be this Sunday, 15th January.
This has been a very difficult and heartbreaking decision. We have been so lucky to work with some of the greatest people from this city and beyond, who have consistently showed up and produced such great food and service. We have worked very, very hard to try to create more sustainable model for local food: from farmers and producers to the staff working in front and back of house, but in the current climate, this has proven to be incredibly difficult. With the impact of inflation and the increasing difficulties inherently involved with running a restaurant, we have got to a point where it is no longer financially viable and we are not able to operate any longer. We will be continuing with our ethos by focusing our efforts on our bakery, cafe and brunch services.
We would like to thank everyone involved for all their efforts to make this work, you've done such wonderful things!
In the future, if the social and economic environment seem like they would support a restaurant focused on serving food from local farms and creating a positive environment around food service we still feel a deep love and desire to see this. We hope that you will continue to support the other incredible local restaurants we have been lucky to share this city with. For now, please join us this weekend to say farewell and continue to follow our cafe team at .epi for brunch, baked goods and coffee all made with that same Agrius heart. Thank you.
