A taste of Catalonia is coming to Six by Nico from September 25 to November 5.
The new menu spans Barcelona to Girona, and everything in between, with the menu drawing inspiration from the region’s classic dishes and cooking techniques, and celebrating its most prolific figures, from artists, to architects and fellow chefs.
The new six-course offering highlights a range of dishes including an amuse bouche of Patatas Bravas, a first starter celebrating Gaudi of chicken arrollado, hen of the woods, black garlic, hazelnut pesto, bergamot, lovage and mustactel, which moves onto the second starter, named El Bulli in honour of the famous restaurant and chef Ferran Adrià, which is a pan con tomate with heirloom tomato, extra virgin olive oil and smoked salt.
The fish course, is arroz negro – the classic rice dish with black pollock, pickled mussel, black rice cake, saffron emulsion, courgette and shellfish cappuccino.
Founder Nico Simeone said: “I’m thrilled to present this stunning new Catalonian menu. I have always admired the rich culinary heritage of this region, so it’s been fantastic to bring it to life as part of this latest tasting adventure for our diners. Each dish celebrates Catalan cuisine and the cultural hotspot of this region.”
The menu is priced at £48 per person with the option to enjoy a wine and specialist drinks pairing for an additional £35 at each restaurant. There is a vegetarian alternative available for every course, including a Paella Blanco with courgette and fino sherry cappuccino and a Saffron tortilla with tetilla cheese, roasted garlic emulsion and calcot onions.
