A review of Six by Nico x Sole Club in Glasgow, with an emphasis on the food and atmosphere.
When it comes to fine dining, chef Nico Simeone knows how to bring it all together. He's the mastermind behind the highly popular Six by Nico, and despite his growing success and ambition to take over the culinary scene in Scotland, he keeps his menus accessible to all. His latest venture, Sole Club, is a speakeasy-style fish restaurant that opened its doors in the heart of Finnieston earlier this year.

Now, six months down the road, the restaurant is paying tribute to Nico's roots with The Chippie Club - a love letter to Glasgow's iconic chip shops. The six-course tasting menu features modern and bold twists on classic chippie favorites. The meal begins with chunks of crusty sourdough bread and seaweed butter, followed by the first course - a chip on a stick. These spiralized fried potato discs are served with salt and vinegar powder, road garlic aioli, and crispy onions, and it's a simple yet sensational dish that brings back memories of grabbing a bag of chips on the way home from the pub.

Next up is the kedgeree Scotch egg, a soft boiled egg wrapped in sticky rice and deep fried, topped with piccalilli ketchup and served in a bowl of lightly spiced velouté. Then comes the ultimate chip and cheese - confit potato in a rich, smoked cheddar sauce that is so delicious you'll want to drink it. The fish finger sando is a nostalgic trip down memory lane, bringing back memories of enjoying a similar dish with grandparents on cold evenings. The crispy fish is perfectly cooked and served with gribiche and pea pesto on toasted white bread.

The grand finale is the ultimate sausage supper - succulent meat wrapped in wafer-thin strands of fried potato, with bursts of celeriac and smoked apple adding a welcome touch of freshness to the rich dish. Dessert is a dreamy ice cream sundae and a tangy cherry pie, making for the perfect end to a perfect meal.

At just £35 per person, Sole Club is a steal for those looking for a fine dining experience without breaking the bank. It's hard to keep up with all the amazing things chef Nico is up to, but one thing is for sure - his food remains affordable, accessible, and most importantly, delicious. So next time you're in the mood for some exquisite dining, head over to Sole Club at 1132 Argyle St in Finnieston, Glasgow.
