A tasting-menu restaurant on Union Street in Aberdeen, serving six courses around a theme that changes every six weeks.

Welcome

Six by Nico does one thing, and changes it constantly.

Every six weeks the kitchen writes a new tasting menu of six courses around a single theme, a place, a memory or an idea, and then, six weeks later, starts again with something completely different.

In Aberdeen the restaurant sits at the west end of Union Street, in a smart, modern room of marble tables, velvet banquettes and shelves of glass and plants. The courses arrive small and beautifully made, often playful: a menu built on childhood tastes, a dessert disguised as a carrot, a fruit tart like a jewel. Wines can be paired with each course, and the staff are happy to explain every dish, including the surprises that are not written on the menu.

The restaurant opens from Wednesday to Sunday. Book ahead.
