This July talented chef Nico Simeone opened his first London restaurant , Six by Nico London , on Fitzrovia ’ s Charlotte Street with its opening menu , ‘ The Chippie ,’ inspired by his Scottish-Italian heritage . Pioneering a revolving culinary hub , Six by Nico will reinvent the dining experience with an entirely new six course tasting menu every six weeks which is inspired by places , memories and ideas .
Six by Nico is one of the first restaurants slated to open this summer as the London hospitality sector starts to re-open after the Covid-19 crisis . It is also the first London project from Nico Simeone and his seventh opening in the UK . Nico ’ s unique culinary narrative was first born in his native Glasgow and has expanded at a dynamic pace with sister restaurants now in Edinburgh , Belfast , Manchester and Liverpool . With his refined and creative tasting menus , Nico takes guests on a journey whilst making his food accessible to all with an affordable price
Serving up a progressive and inventive approach to the tasting menu , Nico will bring his take on the classic British fish and chip shop with a nostalgic six course tasting menu all for £ 35 . Guests will enjoy delights such as : Scrabster Monkfish cheek on a bed of wild garlic emulsion , gribiche , peas and beurre blanc , “ Steak Pie ” with shredded Speyside beef shin , burnt onion ketchup , mushroom duxelle and ‘ meaty salsa ’, ‘ Fish Supper ’ of Shetland cod atop confit fennel , samphire beer emulsion and pickled mussels and of course , the signature Deep fried mars bar with Caramelia , chocolate mousse , blood orange sorbet and cocoa nib . Expertly selected wine pairings sourced from Europe are available alongside the menu priced at £ 33 per person or guests can choose from the extensive drinks list .
The 76-cover restaurant will open with strict adherence to social distancing with all surfaces cleaned and disinfected between sittings every two hours . Guests will also
be encouraged to monitor their own health and well-being ahead of their visit . During lockdown , Nico and his team successfully pivoted their business by launching , ‘ Home by Nico ’ which served over 100,000 people and kept the Six by Nico spirit alive during this challenging period .
Chef Nico Simeone said , “ We are very excited to open Six by Nico London . At a time when London is starting to emerge from this horrific crisis , we are determined to be amongst the first of the new places that make this city such a great place to visit and look forward to welcoming our customers safely very soon .”
