Very good but only one of the dishes really blew me away. Cool looking space with exposed bricks and metal supports. Good acoustics even with music playing. The sound track was 70s funk.
We started with a self assembled sharing platter. The tuna prosciutto served with mayo and a little salad of cress and spring onion was the star. Lightly salted tuna, only slightly dehydrated served slightly chilled with mayonaise and lemon. The pistacchio sauccison was very good and sliced very thin. Pickled carrots with cardomon were a bit disappointing. Could have done with more cardomon, a touch of sweetness and thinner slicing for a finer texture. We also had beer bread which was a lovely texture which came with butter sprinkled with charcoal and garlic salt.
Of the substantial dishes the pork dollar with hispi cabbage and tasty little bech mushrooms. Good but a bit of a cheat because anything tastes good drenched in hollandaise. The cabbage was some of the best I have ever tasted. Blackened on the grill and extremely sweet. The star of our order arrived last. Neck of lamb served with a variety of lightly grilled heritage tomatoes, more heavily grilled red onion, very light slightly garlicky croutons made with brown bread, drizzled with a mild but acidic salsa verde. I need to figure out how to re-create this.
We had a wonderful night here catching up with friends. The quality of the service, food, bar and everything else was top notch.
Lovely chat with the gm at the end too.
We'll definitely be coming back!
hicce is a true culinary gem that left a lasting impression on us. The restaurant boasts an impressive array of dishes, but it's their fish and seafood creations that truly stole the show. One dish that stood out above the rest was the cuttlefish. It was an absolute delight, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour. The cocktail selection at hicce is equally impressive, and we were blown away by their outstanding concoctions. The Pictish Martini quickly became a personal favorite, showcasing the mixologist's skill in crafting unique and delicious drinks. A special mention goes to our waiter, Ruth. Her exceptional service and attention to detail truly enhanced our dining experience. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable time.
