Six by Nico, six-course tasting menu that evolves every six weeks, has opened at 81 Colmore Row

Founded by chef Nico Simeone, Six by Nico offers guests an adventurous and affordable menu. 

The first concept guests will be able to enjoy until 14th January is ‘The Chippie’ menu, which takes inspiration from the much-loved British classic fish and chip shops. For £39, The Chippie menu takes in elevated classics such as Chips & Cheese with parmesan espuma, curry oil and emulsion and crisp potato terrine, Scampi with brandade, dill emulsion, gribiche, peas and beurre blanc, Steak Pie – a 24-hour beef shin with burnt onion ketchup, mushroom duxelle and ‘meaty salsa’, followed by Fish Supper, Smoked Sausage, and Scotland’s famous Deep Fried Mars Bar with chocolate pave and Irn Bru sorbet. 

There is also a vegetarian alternative menu available, including Cauliflower Beignet, Root Vegetable Pie, Halloumi, and more. For £30pp, guests can enhance their experience with an expertly paired wine from courses 2-6. 

With venuesalready in Scotland, Ireland, London, Cardiff, Leeds and Manchester, this venue will be the brand’s thirteenth location. 

The interior design for this site is influenced by the unique characteristics of the six-legged dragonfly, including their body shape, colour, and natural habitat. Birmingham foodies can expect earthy and inviting tones, complemented by a layer of high energy and impact that coincides with the exciting dishes to be announced. 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, with artwork and screening inspired by ‘steam glass’ to further pay homage.

Zoe Wheatly from the design team said, “We really wanted to celebrate Birmingham’s industrial heritage and took a lot of our inspiration from the invention of the steam engine. The space is filled with materials such as iron, timber, mild steel and textured glass that complement the space and the overall Six by Nico dining experience.”

Mr Simone said, “We’ve been searching for the right location to introduce Six by Nico to Birmingham and are so pleased to finally be able to open our doors on the city’s famous, Colmore Row. We’re really looking forward to joining Birmingham’s thriving hospitality scene and welcoming everyone to the restaurant!”
