About Nicko's Kitchen

Fine-dining polish meets suburban ease at Nicko's Kitchen in Kelmscott. Regulars point to the seafood presentation—a prawn cocktail arrived over rocks and dry ice with a plume of table vapor—and mains like beef cheek braised in red wine jus over silky mash. Head Chef Robert steps out from the pass to greet tables between courses, while the dining room keeps date nights and family celebrations relaxed over local bottles or BYO wine. The meal winds down over Nan's lemon tart.

  • Floor visits from the chef: Chef Robert frequently steps out into the dining room to chat with guests at their tables.
  • Dry-ice prawn cocktail: Chilled prawns arrive over rocks with dry ice and water, creating an active smoky vapor at the table.
  • BYO and house list: Diners can bring their own wine or order directly from the restaurant's drinks list.

  • Theatrical Table Presentations

    Appetisers arrive with theatrical flair, such as prawn cocktail presented over rocks with dramatic dry ice vapor effects.

    It's served in a bowl on rocks with dry ice under it and some water is tipped into to it so you get a Smoky effect and a bit of show.
