ADVENTURE TO ‘THE ALPS’ AT SIX BY NICO BELFAST

Six by Nico today announces the next menu for its restaurants across the UK will be ‘The Alps’, as Chef Nico Simeone brings a contemporary and refined take on the illustrious and comforting cuisine found in the mountainous regions of Europe.

Inspired by charming Alpine towns and villages, ‘The Alps’ will whizz diners across the snow kissed mountain-regions of France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy with each bite.

The six-course tasting menu, rich in taste will provide guests a taste of classic Alpine-cuisine, inextricably linked to snowy landscapes, rolling hills, cosy lodges, Mont Blanc, cheese fondue, cured meats, snow sports and apres-ski.

Six by Nico creates a new menu every six weeks, and the restaurant which opened in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter in March 2019 so far has showcased ‘The Chippie’, ‘Thai Street Food’, ‘New York’, ‘The Mad Hatters Tea Party’ and ‘Best of 2019’ themed menus in previous months. The Alps is the first menu to be served at all of Simeone’s UK restaurants at the same time, with his sixth and most recent restaurant launched in Liverpool in November 2019.

With the winter months in full force, Chef Nico Simeone and his team invite guests to journey to the majestic mountains of ‘The Alps’ to experience exceptional Alpine comfort food to warm up the darkest days. Wholesome and rugged, ‘The Alps’ will bring the very best of the regions to Manchester with mountains of meat and cheese.

The new six course tasting menu in Belfast includes RACLETTE FONDUE – Crispy Pigs Head, Quince; SALMON ON THE RHINE – Pumpkin, Horseradish Emulsion, Apple and Dill Dressing; TARTIFLETTE – Barbecue Broccoli, Pickled Walnut, Reblochon Cheese; RISOTTO DU CROZETS – Hen of the Woods Mushroom, Truffle, Pesto Bianco; CHICKEN & PORK FARCON – Hispi Cabbage, Sauerkraut Ketchup, Meat Sauce and finally for dessert, SNOWBALLS – Coconut & Pistachio Parfait, Passion Fruit Caramel and Chargrilled Pineapple.

There will also be the option for diners to add additional snacks, with choices including Pane Di Pasqua, Sopressa Veneta & Salame Finocchiona, Taleggio & Emmental, Preserved Artichoke Bugnes, Root Vegetable Chips and Gordal Olives.

Chef Nico Simeone said:

“As we endure darker days during the winter months, ‘The Alps’ themed tasting menu will give guests the opportunity to enjoy a respite of rich and comforting dishes.
