A Nostalgic Celebration

 

Nico Simeone, CEO and Founder of the Six Company shares the inspiration behind this menu:

“Our final menu of 2024 and the first of 2025 pays homage to nostalgia, inviting guests on a journey through flavours that evoke personal memories. Inspired by reflections on my childhood, it draws on moments from an era spent watching films, playing games, or enjoying time outdoors with friends.”

 

While New Year’s often centres on resolutions, this menu celebrates the joy of revisiting comforting traditions, from the irresistible scent of pickled onion in ‘Space Raiders’ to the warming richness of ‘Super Mario.’
