Sweet cubes of orange were dusted with strong parmesan while underneath, hidden pieces of red pepper revealed themselves with every spoonful. It was the pumpkin that was a stand out for me. The fries were crisp, with a good amount of salt, while the broccoli was sprinkled with sesame seeds and had a kick from the XO sauce. At the Edinburgh pop-up, these consist of sourdough with whipped bone marrow butter, puffed pork rinds with chilli and peanut dip, fresh burrata with salsa Verde and west coast oysters. The menu here is short, you’re only really choosing if you want starter snacks before your steak. Six by Nico is on the site of the former Passorn Thai Brasserie and is a stylish eatery with bistro tables and chairs, banquettes and shelves of coloured glass vases. So, after my first Fringe show in three years, I popped along to the pop-up on a balmy and busy Tuesday night. The concept is a short snappy menu, with only one main option - a chateaubriand for two to share, with sides for £35.Īfter a successful few months in Glasgow, the restaurant is making its debut in Edinburgh for the month of August, offering Fringe-goers the same offering as Glasgow, from Six by Nico on Hanover Street.
This concept proved so popular that Chateau-X was born, and opened its first restaurant in Finnieston in Glasgow in late 2021. This started with the ever-popular Six by Nico, which opened in Glasgow in 2017, and brought the concept of themed six weekly changing tasting menus alive to an inquisitive audience.įrom the Chippy to Willy Wonka, to graphical locations such as Paris and Vietnam, the restaurants (he now has two in Glasgow, one in Edinburgh, two in London and one in Belfast and Manchester) book out weeks in advance (for prime weekend slots).ĭuring lockdown, Simeone turned his hand to dine at home boxes and an ecommerce site, Home-X, including a cook at home Chateaubriand box for two.
Chef Nico Simeone has made a name for himself in Scotland and beyond for themed dining.
