Customers at Wedgwood the Restaurant will be able to enjoy a choice of a starter course, a main course and a dessert from the award-winning restaurant from 17 March.
Whilst the restaurant remains open every day for lunch and dinner, the decision was made to offer a collection service to those who are mindful of social distancing.
Chef patron, Paul Wedgwood and the team will continue to develop and expand the menu this week, which will align with the restaurant offering; using the best ingredients that Scotland has to offer.
The menu will be priced at £17.50 for three courses or courses can be ordered individually, and all items will be packaged in reusable plastic containers.
Paul Wedgwood said: “Like others in the restaurant and hospitality industry we’re experiencing an unnerving future at the moment.
"We’ve built up the restaurant’s reputation for the very best flavours and skilled cooking using ingredients with integrity. It will be a first for us, but we are starting to offer a takeaway service, this should be a great option for those who’d prefer to stay at home but still want to enjoy a special meal.
"We completely understand that the safety of our guests and staff comes first. We are also looking into developing a delivery strategy that may launch in a couple of weeks, to cater for those who are self isolating.”
Wedgwood also offers a bespoke picnic service and a Wedgwood at Home with Paul cooking at customers’ homes.
Customers can order their meal online or by calling the restaurant on 0131 558 8737.

They will offer deliveries of bread, meat, flour, pasta, milk and other produce.
The couple are closing Fhior restaurant but hope that by diversifying into deliveries they can promote the special produce they use and love, and also keep their own staff in employment. They plan to give profits made from this to support other small businesses who have been hit by Coronavirus, to get them back on their feet.
In addition to selling and delivering produce to people’s doors, Fhior will also offer a range of nourishing, wholesome meals made from fresh ingredients to be enjoyed at home (suitable for GF, DF, vegetarian and vegan diets).
Covering the Edinburgh area, the delivery service will also offer household goods such as a natural hand sanitiser made at Edinburgh’s Secret Herb Garden, toilet paper and soap.
Scott Smith, chef and owner of Fhior, said: “Our business has built its reputation on the quality produce from our network of suppliers who, like us and so many others, are now struggling to keep their small businesses going.
"We’re asking people to consider supporting the businesses local to you as an alternative to purchasing via big supply chains and through supermarkets. If we don’t, many small suppliers are going to cease to exist very quickly. We are also offering nourishing, wholesome meals to be enjoyed at home and will be putting the usual Fhior care and attention into this.”
The restaurant has also launched its own ‘social distancing’ takeaway menu offering the type of lunch dishes Fhior fans are familiar with.
Just 15 minutes order time is required for the menu which features their homemade beremeal sourdough bread and fresh, cultured butter. Fhior’s selection of carefully selected wines, beers and soft drinks will also be available.
No-contact collection measures will be adhered to, and dishes will be available for collection between 5-9pm, 7 days a week. Card payments will be taken only.
