After an exciting and lucrative two years of trading, the Art’s Café in Aberdeen closed its doors on Saturday 28th March. The sociable evenings which the locals enjoyed, and which visitors to Aberdeen were entranced by, are no more. This was a restaurant where a single Aberdonian could dine and never feel they were dining alone. The Art’s Café was more like a club where the local people of Aberdeen gathered and where visitors were always made to feel welcome and part of the community. The engaging parrot Sam was a great feature. He strutted his way around the art gallery and restaurant, occasionally sitting on some patron’s shoulder for a while.
The Art Gallery will continue to operate as such, but the rest of the building will be taken over by the exciting ceramics project called “Divue Kilae” meaning “Earth and Fire” which is soon to be established here in Aberdeen
Dallis Graham will soon be fully occupied by the “Aberdeen Heritage Archive and Tourism” project. This is going to be a momentous undertaking, hence Dallis’ decision to close the restaurant and focus her attention fully on this venture.
In the beautifully restored old municipal building, Aberdeen’s heritage and archives will be given their rightful exposure. Here the historical treasures will be kept fully secured against theft and illegal exploitation.
Dallis has been overwhelmed by the good wishes, grateful thanks and beautiful floral bouquets she has received from the residents and local farmers in appreciation for all the happy times they spent at The Art’s Café.
