World Cancer Day – Beat 6 “Do good and Feel good”
As awareness is raised around the globe today as World Cancer Day aims to 'Close the Care Gap' of this body cell disease, it brought back to mind the dining experience from my birthday lunch last week. In Dennistoun, in the east-end of Glasgow the Beat 6 restaurant is just 3 months old. It's been on my personal and Tasting Scotland 'must try' restaurant list since it opened in November 2021. "Do good - Feel good" is the motto in the latest venture from chef and restauranteur Nico Simeone, but this time it's a little different. All the profits go to a local Cancer ...

Top lifestyle influencer Rachel Lawler was a fabulous guest on a recent 'Seafood & More in a Day' tour and the team at Tasting Scotland HQ were delighted to read her follow up review at www.tenderlovingstyle.com. Catch up on below on what Rachel had to say...
"I’m always looking for something a little bit different to do in Scotland, but I’m not what you’d call the ‘outdoorsy’ type.
It’s not that I’m fussy, it’s just that, well, I suppose I like some luxury and a glass of fizz. Nothing wrong with that!

TRUST by Nico
The concept of trust is prevalent every time you frequent a purveyor of food. You trust the quality, you trust the taste, you trust that you are not going to get ill! When you walk through the door of a restaurant you have therefore made a pact with the chef and how you feel on leaving, is totally in their hands.
When we received the invite to attend the launch of TRUST at 111 by Nico (which is located in Glasgow’s West End) my immediate reaction was GENIUS. This new dining concept asks diners to sit back, relax and completely place their TRUST in the chef.

When we are not touring with clients from around the globe, we are out scouting for new artisan producers who are going above and beyond with their craft in both Glasgow and beyond. We are also partial to a bit of cafe hopping, seeking out those that shine the brightest. Whether that be in the ...
