SIX restaurant offers plant-based dining experience on the Baltic rooftop

The restaurant will be hosting a summer menu tasting event on June 20 with an entire plant-based theme.

Guests will be able to enjoy the culinary experience while taking in the panoramic views of the landscape across the River Tyne.

SIX Baltic has stated that the menu fuses the “versatility of plants” with the best locally sourced ingredients to produce a menu that takes inspiration from cuisine around the world.

Greg Lambert, food director at SIX Baltic, has revealed that the menu follows the success of a plant-based tasting evening that the restaurant held back in the spring.

He said: “Following the success of our Spring plant-based evening, I wanted to continue to showcase the versatility plants can give us as chefs when being creative.

“The idea behind our summer tasting evening menu is to showcase dishes inspired from all over the world that may usually be animal-based but adapted to plant-based without losing flavour.

“I eat a lot of plant-based food and wanted to share that we can make top-quality food that is fulfilling and comforting, minus animal products such as butter, cream and eggs. I think this menu delivers that in spades.

“From our summer tasting menu, diners can expect dishes that are fun, tasty and unpretentious, and hopefully will spark ideas for cooking plant-based dishes at home.”

The menu for the tasting evening will include the following:

Welcome: Pure Knead Focaccia, Onion Confit in Balsamic Apple Vinegar.

Snacks: Chickpea Chips, Patatas Bravas, Citrus & Fennel Olives.

First course: Tomato Tartare, Avocado Cream, Corn.

Second course: Celeriac Carbonara, Tofu Bacon, Walnut.

Third course: Braised Hispi, Romesco, Potato Terrine, Parsley Liquor.

Last course: Gin, Blood Orange & Tonic Slushy.

Treats to take home: Jamaica Cake, Fruit Pastille, Snickers Fudge.
