Six by Nico to take diner on romantic and luxurious journey with new menu concept

Finnieston favourite Six by Nico has announced it will be taking diners on a 'romantic and luxurious' journey - all aboard the Orient Express.

The Orient Express, once the favoured means of travel for dignitaries and aristocrats between Paris and Istanbul, has been brought back to life thanks to a new menu concept by Chef Nico Simeone.

Guests dining at Six by Nico restaurants in Glasgow are invited to board the gastronomic journey from Tuesday April 16 to Sunday May 26, as it departs Paris bound for the iconic Turkish city.

In his latest offering, 'Orient Express', Chef Nico Simeone has created a menu that journey's across Europe in style with the culinary adventure of a lifetime.

Synonymous with the golden age of travel, the Orient Express menu will allow guests to step onboard entering a time capsule of European cuisine travelling through six cities including Paris, Strasbourg, Munich, Milan, Vienna and Istanbul.

Orient Express's new six course tasting menu includes: Paris - Tomato Tartare, Gin Pickled Shallot, Egg Yolk Jam; Strasbourg - Spatzle, Black Truffle, Chestnut Mushroom, Hazelnut Pesto; Munich - Smoked Kartoffelpuffer, Sauerkraut & Burnt Apple Puree; Milan - Ricotta Anglotti, Peperonata, Lemon Emulsion, Olive & Caper Dressing; Vienna - White Asparagus, Chicken Schnitzel, Preserved Lemon, Jersey Royal Potato Salad and finally arriving in Istanbul for dessert - Pistachio Parfait, Roasted Apricot, Orange blossom, Yoghurt Sorbet.

Chef Nico Simeone said: "The legendary long-distance train—which discontinued its Paris-Istanbul service in 1977—has been brought back to life in our latest menu concept. Orient Express is a culinary extravaganza and consistent with each host city, reflecting those destinations."
