SIX BY NICO

If you’d have told us that you can get an experimental six-course tasting menu for £46 in Central London a year or two ago, we’d have laughed in your face. Now you might be the one laughing because Scottish chef Nico Simeone (who already has restaurants in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast, Manchester and Liverpool – sorry, but how did they get them first?) opened Six by Nico in London doing just that. The best part about this is that the food is themed around a place or an idea (New York, Chippie and Childhood have all been past themes) that changes every six weeks. For an extra £30 there’s the option to add on a wine pairing and there are always some optional add-on courses, but if you’re trying to keep it good-value, you really can’t go wrong with the affordable set menu cost, especially if you’re out to impress a date and want to look flasher than you actually are.
