Dreamer or adventurer? Six by Nico announces first ever “versus” series – seeing two menus go head-to-head
Six weeks, two menus, one important choice – Six by Nico announces “versus” concept across all UK restaurants

Six by Nico, the innovative dining experience which rotates its creative menu every six weeks, has announced an exciting new “versus” series for its next six-week rotation.
For the first time, Six by Nico is asking customers one crucial question – are they a dreamer or an adventurer?
Choose your own culinary adventure. Dreamers are invited on a journey within, exploring Guilty Pleasures through the eyes of a chef, while adventurers journey across the globe, discovering the food treasures and delights of Shanghai.
This refreshing twist promises a more tailored dining experience, with customers now able to choose between the two tasting menus over the usual six-week period. Both menus will run consecutively for three weeks at a time, with Guilty Pleasures cooking from 12th August to 1st September, followed immediately by Shanghai, from the 2nd September to 22nd September.

Andrew Temple, Chief Creative Officer commented on the menu: “This is a completely new concept for us at Six by Nico. While our previous menus have focused either on a concept or a destination for the full six weeks, we have been listening to our guests who have been missing on our theme menus but too, we have an abundance of those who love exploring new food regions with us and experiencing our interpretation.
“So, we wanted to challenge ourselves and give our guests the chance to decide which menu appeases them most – a menu of Guilty Pleasures through the eyes of our chefs, or a journey around the world to explore our interpretation of the bustling streets of Shanghai. We can’t wait to see what our customers decide!”
Bookings can now be made for the Guilty Pleasures and Shanghai menus on the website here:
