Six by Nico returns to Sicily with new menu – here is a first look at the dishes

Taking inspiration from his Italian heritage, Chef Nico Simeone has created a tantalizing tasting menu that is reminiscent of his trip to Sicily in 2018, when the theme was first introduced at both Glasgow and Edinburgh restaurants, where he and the team spent time exploring the town of Palermo, bringing home flavours from some the most richly textured culinary heritage anywhere on earth.

The menu will run from Monday 7 September until Sunday 18 October and priced from £29 per person with the option to enjoy an expertly selected wine pairing for an additional £26.

Nico said: “In 2018 our team spent time on the Italian Island soaking up the scenery and tasting some of the best food in Europe. Raisins and saffron crop up in the island’s most famous dishes, and cooking techniques differ from those found on the mainland. As we re-visit this theme in 2020 with a brand new 'Sicily' menu for customers old and new, we look forward to showcasing these inspirations with a flavour-filled menu.”

“From perfect Porchetta to Arancini, Sicilian food is world-famous but many will be very surprised by just how varied and diverse Sicily’s cuisine is - it’s a veritable melting pot of flavour. Whilst much of it is clearly Italian, there are some commonly used ingredients that clearly stand out and this is what our guests at Six by Nico will discover on our new menu.”
