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.

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
