CITY CENTRE Eatery Superico
is the creation of chef, Scott Wise,
and mixologist, Mike Lynch, who
have gathered together a team of
five bringing a flavour of South
America to Hanover Street. The
restaurant at number 83 has just
opened, and in late June the
Superico Bar & Lounge at 99
Hanover Street will also open its
doors. The style is influenced by the
big, bold flavours of South America,
where Scott spent time travelling.
With over 30 years combined
experience between them, Scott
and Mike were part of the team that
launched the Devil’s Advocate
restaurant and bar in Edinburgh’s
Old Town in 2013.
Scott previously worked in The
Witchery by the Castle and The
Tower. Now his signature dishes will
include ceviche and crudo inspired
by Nikkei cuisine in Peru, beef cheek
with mole from Mexico and fresh
mojo sauces inspired by Chile.
Mike is a hospitality manager and
award-winning mixologist, having
won the title of UK’s Best Cocktail
Bar for Bramble Bar on Queen Street
in 2019, and he represented the bar
at industry events and takeovers in
cities such as London, Copenhagen,
New York and Denver.
Mike said: “We can’t wait to bring
a unique South American flair to
Edinburgh’s Hanover Street. Expect
a fun, vibrant and stylish setting
across both of our two venues with
outgoing, knowledgeable and
attentive service.
“Guests will enjoy hustle and
bustle in the restaurant where
they’ll get the chance to see the bar
and kitchen team work side by side
in the open space to the rear of the
restaurant.
“With our sights firmly set on the
launch and growth of both our
venues, Superico has the ambition
to quickly become a well
established social venue in
Edinburgh with global recognition.”
Chef Scott Wyse, added: “I’m not
just looking at the typical styles and
flavours that you may associate
with South America, but also how
other cultures have influenced
them such as Nikkei cuisine which is
the Japanese influence on Peru.
“Expect some niche flavours, but
I will make them approachable and
fit the fun and relaxed atmosphere.”

Refillable containers at Morrisons
MORRISONS HAS brought back
refillable containers at their meat,
fish and deli counters.
In an effort to reduce the amount
of single use plastic packaging used
in stores, the supermarket group has
reintroduced eco-friendly shopping.
All staff on these counters will ask
customers if they have brought their
own container to be filled rather than
automatically putting products into
a plastic container.
If every Morrisons customer used a
refillable container for their counter
purchase, it would save 2,000 tonnes
of plastic a year. Elsewhere,
Morrisons also plans to remove 900
tonnes of plastic from packaging
used on butcher and fishmonger
counters each year by introducing
new lighter weight recyclable trays.
Natasha Cook, Packaging Manager
at Morrisons, said: “Reducing plastic
in our stores is an important part of
our sustainability agenda and it
really matters to our customers too.
The service was very popular with
our customers when it was first
introduced before lockdown, and
we’re pleased to see it return with
some great value deals on our fresh,
British quality products.”
