Six by Nico – Greece
https://www.sixbynico.co.uk/belfast/greece/
The team at Six by Nico Belfast has harnessed the power of ancient Greek mythology and created a Mediterranean masterpiece of powerful proportions, which is bursting with flavour.
Our Grecian six course pescatarian menu included “Kuavó”, a refreshing ouzo based, azure blue aperitif. We then had a delicious snack of Hummus with Dukkah, Olive Oil and Pitta.
Our first course was Moussaka; an Aubergine & Tomato Ragu with a Cheese Espuma & Potato Tuile. This was followed by Greek Tomato; a Tomato Gazpacho with Compressed Tomato & Whipped Feta, then the third course was Halloumi with Smoked Baba Ganoush, Barbecue Cucumber, Red Pepper & Kalamata Olive, & a Caper Dressing.
Course four was Sea Bass with Baby Courgette, Green Olive Tapenade, Courgette & Basil Puree, Crispy Squid, Squid Ink, & Lemon Emulsion and this was followed by Cauliflower Gyros with Green Harissa, Cauliflower Purée, Preserved Lemon and flatbreads.
The final event of this Olympian feast was Baklava, featuring thick layers of walnuts mixed in honey, accompanied by Crème Fraiche, Cherry Sorbet and Cherry Gel.
Many thanks to Six By Nico for a fabulous Grecian lunch.

Waterman Restaurant
https://www.waterman.restaurant/
Waterman, a 50-seater restaurant at Waterman House which is already home to the fantastic Waterman House Cookery School, is the new venture by award-winning chef Niall McKenna.
The atmosphere is relaxed, with a cool, contemporary feel, great service, and the menu is classic European-style dining featuring quality local produce.
We had a terrific evening at Waterman recently enjoying a birthday celebration with delicious dishes and wonderful wines.
The Goat’s Cheese & Honey Stuffed Courgette Flowers were an absolutely gorgeous appetiser (thank you Dean!) and our starters included a dainty bowl of four Salt Cod Brandades on Dill Mayo, Cured Sea Trout with Apple & Hazelnut, and Roast Carrots with Cumin Yogurt & Almond, all of which were excellent.
Our main courses were also beautifully presented and tasted top-notch; a light & fresh Herb Gnocchi with Tomato and Pesto, a crispy-skinned Fillet of Hake with Ratatouille & Salsa Verde fragrant with paprika, and a perfectly pink Hanger Steak which one of our party ordered as part of the incredibly good value Set Menu.
Desserts were a complete delight-a decadently Dark Chocolate Mousse, a creamy & fruity Eton Mess, some freshly churned Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream, and a Baked Alaska birthday surprise!
This exceptional and elegant new addition to the Cathedral Quarter dining scene is an absolute triumph. We can’t wait to return in the very near future.

Cake creator Baked By Jayne’s amazing bespoke celebration cakes, everyday cakes, and smaller treats are patisserie perfection. We asked her to provide a special Birthday Cake for a milestone celebration, and Jayne’s baking talents shone through every chocolatey layer.
Sumptuous, stunning, and smooth, this perfectly presented confection was an absolute showstopper, eliciting gasps of admiration from all the guests. The cocoa rich aroma was simply mouthwatering (if only our posts were in “Smellavision”) and the cake had a wonderfully light texture and tasted utterly fabulous.
For that little touch of luxury, contact Baked by Jayne and, like us, you can’t fail to be impressed with her delicious, high quality cakes and bakes.
