Available from March until May 2025 at Charlotte Lane, Edinburgh, this bold new à la carte offering is an invitation to explore the textures, tastes, and colours of a rich and diverse culinary landscape.
Somewhere by Nico’s new menu is a gateway to a world of adventure, where each dish is designed to be shared, bringing people together to explore new and exciting flavours.
With a rotating concept that evolves every three months, Somewhere by Nico will continually introduce guests to the essence of different global destinations, starting with Latin America.
The Latin American menu brings a dynamic selection of dishes and cocktails that capture the continent’s bold flavours and rich culture. From lively raw dishes like sea bream ceviche to street food-style skewers of maitake and portobello mushrooms, and the indulgent short rib tostada with truffle emulsion, every plate is a celebration of authenticity and innovation. The barbecued flat iron steak and other smoky sharers from the grill add depth and richness to the offering, ensuring every bite is a journey in itself.
Those looking for a spirited refreshment can also enjoy indulge in the exciting cocktail menus featuring four unique series, each offering infinite possibilities. This includes:
Classics:
A curated selection of classics with a twist, including the Whisky Sour and Clover Club.
Specials:
Featuring bold, inventive creations like the Smoky Raspberry Margarita.
In the Spotlight

Latin America:

Guests can order plates and cocktails at any time, meaning the door to this unique culinary world is always open. This first menu sets the tone for an ever-changing dining experience, where every visit is an opportunity to uncover new tastes from all corners of the world.
