Six by Nico to open 13th location in Birmingham

The six-course dining experience, Six by Nico, will be opening in Birmingham at 81 Colmore Row on 30 November – its 13th location across the UK and Ireland. 

The venue will accommodate approximately 72 guests, and will create 60 new jobs for the area. 

Founded by chef Nico Simeone, Six by Nico offers guests an affordable six-course tasting menu that changes every six weeks, drawing inspiration from a theme, destination, or concept. 

The menu is priced at £39 per person, with the option to enjoy an expertly selected wine pairing with a £30 supplement. 

The interior design will be influenced by “the unique characteristics of the six-legged dragonfly”, including their body shape, colour, and natural habitat. 

To pay tribute to Birmingham’s industrial heritage and the pioneering work of Boulton and Watt, components of the steam engine will form subtle historical nods. Materials such as iron, timber and blackened metal will be paired with opal lighting to reflect the contrast between the engine and the steam.

Since opening in Finnieston in 2017, Six by Nico now has locations in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, London Fitzrovia, London Canary Wharf, Leeds, Cardiff, Belfast, Dublin, and Aberdeen.

Simeone said: “We’ve launched many restaurants across the UK, but we’re thrilled to be bringing the concept to the second city! Birmingham’s culinary scene has gone from strength to strength, and we can’t wait to join with a bang into the centre of it all.”
