Six by Nico Edinburgh Hanover is a tasting menu restaurant on Hanover Street in the New Town. Rather than maintain one permanent collection of dishes, it launches a new six course concept every six weeks. Each edition takes inspiration from a place, story, memory or cultural idea, giving repeat diners a substantially different experience on each visit.
The six courses are designed as a sequence, using ingredients, techniques and presentation to develop the chosen theme. Lighter opening plates introduce the idea before more substantial savoury cooking and dessert complete the narrative. The short life of every menu allows the chefs to experiment, while the consistent course structure keeps the format clear for guests.
This is a guided meal rather than an à la carte restaurant, making it suitable for diners happy to place the progression in the kitchen’s hands. Vegetarian alternatives and accommodations may depend on the current theme, so dietary needs should be raised before a reservation. Courses arrive at a deliberate pace that allows each plate to have its own moment.
Wine or other drinks pairings can accompany the menu and add another perspective to its flavours. Gift experiences and the constantly changing programme make the restaurant attractive for celebrations as well as return visits. Six by Nico Edinburgh Hanover combines a central location with an accessible form of creative tasting menu dining.
