Six by Nico's new dishes are inspired by the likes of Matilda and The Ugly Duckling

Six by Nico on Dublin’s Molesworth Street is gearing up to launch a new menu that’s been inspired by classic fairy tales and fantasy.

Six by Nico Dublin opened in November and changes its menu entirely every six weeks. When it first opened, it introduced Dubliners to a six course set menu of chipper inspired grub that aimed to transport them back to childhood.

Now, the childhood theme seems to be remaining in place with the introduction of imaginative fairy tale inspired dishes.

Aptly named ‘One Upon a Time’, the menu is described as a “culinary wonderland” that takes diners on an enchanting journey “through the huggable bear from Peru’s adventures in London, across the dark and mysterious forest that surrounds the Beast’s Castle and into the river with the Ugly Duckling as he matures into a majestic swan”.

The six course menu includes the Oliver Twist (confit potato, hay baked potato mousseline, preserved wild garlic and pickled onion), the Paddington Bear Marmalade (sourdough bruschetta, ox cheek ragout, mushroom XO marmalade and truffle) and The Ugly Duckling (duck leg boulangere with pickled walnut, salsify, toasted cereal, pear and fig).

Speaking about the unique new menu, restaurant founder Nico Simeone said: “Our ‘Once Upon A Time’ theme is a gastronomic journey through the enchanting realm of fairy tales and folklore.

“It’s also a new chapter for Six by Nico Dublin as we introduce a new wave of engaging themes that provide our customers with unique food and drink experiences.”

The fairy tale inspired menu is priced at €45 per person with the option to add an expertly selected wine and specialist drinks pairing with each dish for an extra €39.

‘Once Upon a Time’ runs from Tuesday, 1st February until Sunday, 13th March.
