April 2022
Ancient Rome’s people may have lived thousands of years ago, but their diets were far from traditional, & the rich and famous loved nothing more than sampling the strangest dishes our modern brains can imagine.
The team from Six by Nico have been unearthing ancient recipes to create a historically-adapted menu that brings their gastronomical creations to life for the 21st century.
Inspired by Roman traditions and interpreted through modern delicacies, ‘Ancient Rome’ pays homage to the origins of foods we are familiar with and enjoy today. From undiscovered recipes to the use of ancient ingredients that are widely used in the modern world, there is something for everyone on the menu, which finishes on Sun 24th April but there’s still some limited availability for lunch on Thurs 21st & Friday 22nd at Six by Nico Belfast.
The immersive six course menu includes:
Course I –Cacio e Pepe – Crispy Pasta, Black Pepper & Parmesan Royale;
Course II – White Asparagus, Crispy Duck Egg, Hazelnut & Brown Butter;
Course III – Roasted Hispi Cabbage, Cavatelli Pasta, Pickled Chanterelle Mushrooms, Truffle Foam & Pecorino Sardo;
Course IV – Pompeii , Sole, Smoked Mussel, Lovage, White Turnip & Mussel Cream;
Course V – Belly of Pork Fillet, Turned Rib, Cured Meat, Fennel & Toasted Fennel Seed, Date & Apple Compote, Braised Fennel;

The ‘Ancient Rome’ menu is priced at £32 per person with the option to enjoy an expertly selected wine and specialist drinks pairing for an additional £27. As ever, there is a vegetarian alternative available for every course, as well as snack sides from £6.
