Six By Nico Announces First Ever ‘Versus’ Series
25 July 2024
The “versus” concept will see two new menus, Guilty Pleasures and Shanghai, go head-to-head for 6-weeks starting on Monday 12th August, from £42 per person.
Six by Nico, the innovative dining experience which rotates its menu every six weeks, has announced an exciting new “versus” series for the next rotation.
For the first time, Six by Nico is running two different menus, in consecutive 3-week blocks, asking customers to choose between the two when making their reservations. Self-proclaimed “dreamers” are invited to revel in the indulgent Guilty Pleasures menu, while “adventurers” can enjoy the latest menu in the restaurant’s popular destination series, Shanghai.
This new series promises a more tailored dining experience, with customers now able to choose between two tasting menus over the six-week period. Both menus will run consecutively for three weeks at a time, with Guilty Pleasures cooking from 12 August to 1 September, followed immediately by Shanghai, from the 2 September to 22 September.
The Guilty Pleasures menu is designed to evoke feelings of indulgence and delight, with a tasting menu which offers a unique take on the comfort dishes that we all secretly enjoy. Featured dishes are the Breakfast Muffin – sausage meat bon bon with cheddar royale and truffle emulsion, Loaded Potato Skin – crispy potato terrine with smoked bacon jam, potato & creme fraiche foam, Cheeseburger & Chips – beef tartare with burger sauce, dill pickle, parmesan and crispy shoestring, a “Fish Finger Butty” with coalfish, sauce gribiche, toasted brioche, tomato compote, dill emulsion and crispy mussels, and the Nico Fried Chicken – crispy chicken thigh, NFC crumb, black garlic emulsion, charred corn and gravy. For dessert the Warm Cookie Dough, a hazelnut & chocolate cookie, caramel ganache, warm cookie dough, praline ice cream and raspberry sauce.
Alternatively, adventurers can be transported to the bustling streets of Shanghai, with an offering which boasts authentic cuisine inspired by one of China’s most iconic cities. Guests can enjoy dishes such as the “Steamed Bun” – char Siu beef, crispy ginger, pickled mooli and chilli oil, Mushroom Pancake – fried enoki, togarashi dressing, pickled shimeji and charred spring onion, Satay – crispy chicken leg, spicy peanut sauce, honey & soy glaze with sesame emulsion, Seaweed Cured Coalfish – rice noodles, charred sweetcorn, bok choy, egg yolk jam, hot & sour broth, Chinese Pork – glazed pork belly, crispy spiced potsticker, chilli jam, broccoli, honey & soy jus, Spare Ribs – BBQ glazed pork ribs, spicy Sichuan emulsion and pork crackling crumb. For dessert, guests can enjoy the Stem Ginger Crème with lime & lychee gel, coconut sorbet, honey tuile and fresh raspberry.
Andrew Temple, Chief Creative Officer commented on the menu, “This is a completely new concept for Six by Nico. While our previous menus have focused either on a concept or a destination for the full six weeks, this time we wanted to give our audience the chance to decide whether they are team Dreamer or team Adventurer – and to pick the menu that most suits them. We can’t wait to see what our customers decide!”
