French food flair comes to Scottish restaurants

There’s so much to fall in love with in Paris: the history, the architecture, and of course, the cuisine.

Bubbling Croque Monsieur eaten on the Champs Elysées; rare Beef and salty frites in a candlelit bistro or a classic French patisserie shared with your loved one over a picnic on the banks of the river Seine.

The reputation of French cuisine proceeds itself and with his latest offering Chef Nico Simeone from Six by Nico has created a Parisian menu that features everyone from exotic delicacies to traditional crowd-pleasers.
