Restaurant Review - Six by Nico
Wednesday 12 January 2022
They didn’t quite decorate a bus and take it around the streets of Dublin, as did their neighbour, The Ivy, when it launched in 2018, but the new Six by Nico probably had the biggest PR push in advance of its opening since Covid-19 arrived, including wanting to transport me by ‘executive car’ to and from their Belfast branch for lunch and “the chance to meet Nico”. Don’t worry, as a critic, I don’t go to ‘openings’ or ‘closings’, nor do I sup the soup before they open their doors. So, it was ‘thanks, but no thanks’ for the offer of an interview opportunity.
Six by Nico is a Glasgow-based restaurant chain led by Scottish-Italian chef director Nico Simeone, whose opening in Dublin, the first outside the UK, brings the number of restaurants in the group to nine. The concept involves six-course tasting menus, which change every six weeks. Six — geddit?
