NEWS : Six by Nico cooks Thai Street Food

Street food is one of the most important aspects of life in Thailand. You can find street vendors in any town with locals crowded around slurping the affordable and delicious eats.

Bangkok is especially famous for its street food scene. The city sizzles with activity as locals gather around street stalls devouring curries or sitting at street-side tables enjoying each masterful chef’s specials.

Thai people see street food as a proud element of their culture and Bangkok's world-famous street food scene offers an incredible variety of spicy, savory, and sweet treats cooked street side with recipes passed down for generations.

Chef Nico Simeone and his team invite guests to dive deeper into the 'Thai Street Food' canon at Six by Nico restaurants in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast to offer a unique culinary experience inspired by the famed food stalls.
