Note: This article refers to an older menu. See our coverage of the other Six By Nico in Manchester for details of the latest menu.
Six By Nico has done it again. They’ve delivered another out-there tasting menu that won’t break the bank, but will blow your tastebuds wide open. It might be called the Nostalgia menu, but these ideas are brand new and brilliant.
Your grey-haired, second-home owning grandparents might not get the same sense of joy from the first thing we eat: pickled onion Space Raiders. These are a £10 supplementary snack, and absolutely worth it, especially if you like your cheeks puckered from the kind of vinegar that can strip paint.
They’re a sort of chunky potato fritter – hot, zingy and full of soft bits and crispy bits – that you dip into side plate sauce, an artful array of garlic emulsion and, er, fermented melon hot sauce.
This is the other thing worth mentioning about Six By Nico – the kitchen team come up with the most out-there ideas for dishes, but more often than not, they work ridiculously well.
We won’t list every dish, as this is the kind of menu that delivers laugh-out-loud surprises and it’d be unfair to deprive you of that (consider squinting so you don’t see the photos).
