The core idea is simple yet disarmingly smart. Every six weeks, the entire menu is scrapped and reborn under a new theme. Past journeys have whisked diners from the cobbled streets of Bologna to the neon-lit nostalgia of a 1980s childhood.
Currently, the menu might be inspired by a famous artist, a forgotten city, or a literary classic. The thrill is in the not-knowing, the surrender to a chef’s imagination. Each course is designed to tell a story, and the wine pairings are chosen with the same narrative flair.
Fun fact: the six-week timeline is no accident. It’s psychologically proven that we crave novelty at roughly this interval. Nico has essentially hacked your brain’s desire for fresh excitement, and your taste buds are the lucky beneficiaries.
What to Expect on the Plate
Don’t expect a fork and knife ballet of microscopic portions. Portion sizes here are generous—a welcome relief for those of us who’ve left tasting menus still hungry. Each plate balances bold flavours with a playful twist, like a pistachio crumb that feels like a treasure hunt on your tongue.
The service strikes a rare balance: attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without lecturing. Your server will casually drop a fact about why the saffron aioli is from a specific region in Spain, and you’ll actually want to listen.
One practical tip: book early. Tables at 60 Spring Gardens vanish faster than a limited-edition sneaker drop. Weekend slots are particularly coveted, so set a reminder six weeks out for the new menu launch.
