For the adventurous diner seeking a culinary journey that transcends the ordinary, Six by Nico has long been a beacon, rotating its creative tasting menus every six weeks to transport guests to new realms of flavour. But the innovative dining experience is now posing a tantalizing quandary to its patrons: Are you a dreamer or an adventurer?
In an unprecedented move, Six by Nico’s latest “versus” series presents diners with a choice between two distinct tasting menus, each promising a tailored and immersive exploration of contrasting culinary worlds. The first, “Guilty Pleasures,” beckons dreamers to indulge in a decadent reinterpretation of comfort classics through the eyes of a chef, while the second, “Shanghai,” invites adventurers on a globe-trotting odyssey to the vibrant street food districts of the Magic City.
“This is a completely new concept for us at Six by Nico,” said Andrew Temple, Chief Creative Officer. “While our previous menus have focused either on a concept or a destination for the full six weeks, we have been listening to our guests who have been missing on our theme menus but too, we have an abundance of those who love exploring new food regions with us and experiencing our interpretation.”
The dual menus will run consecutively for three weeks each, with “Guilty Pleasures” taking center stage from August 12th to September 1st, followed by “Shanghai” from September 2nd to the 22nd. This refreshing twist promises a more personalized dining experience, catering to the diverse palates and wanderlust of Six by Nico’s discerning clientele.
For those who succumb to the siren call of “Guilty Pleasures,” a tantalizing array of refined indulgences awaits. From “Cheesy Beano Croquettes” and a “Breakfast Muffin” with truffle emulsion to a reimagined “Cheeseburger & Chips” and a decadent “Warm Cookie Dough” dessert, this menu is a love letter to the comfort dishes we all secretly crave, elevated to new heights of culinary artistry.
Conversely, the “Shanghai” menu transports diners to the bustling streets of the Chinese metropolis, capturing the essence of its vibrant food scene through a melting pot of flavours. From “Mantou Steamed Buns” with char siu beef to “Seaweed Cured Coalfish” with hot and sour soup, and a “Chinese Pork” dish featuring glazed pork belly and crispy pot stickers, this menu promises to tantalize taste buds with its bold and authentic interpretations.
“We wanted to challenge ourselves and give our guests the chance to decide which menu appeases them most – a menu of Guilty Pleasures through the eyes of our chefs, or a journey around the world to explore our interpretation of the bustling streets of Shanghai,” Temple remarked. “We can’t wait to see what our customers decide!”
As diners ponder their culinary destiny, one thing is certain: Six by Nico has once again raised the bar for innovative dining experiences, offering a delectable dilemma that promises to delight and inspire, regardless of the path chosen.
Reservations for the “Guilty Pleasures” and “Shanghai” menus are now open on the Six by Nico website: https://www.sixbynico.co.uk/
