The opening date has been unveiled for a new restaurant specialising in tasting experiences. Six by Nico is opening its first venue in Bristol in early February, in the former home of Carluccio’s and the Castle Fine Art stores in Quakers Friars.
Guests can expect to embark on a ‘unique culinary journey’ that ’embraces and celebrate local suppliers’. Six by Nico is best known for its six-course tasting menu concept that changes every six weeks.
Each menu is inspired by a destination, memories and creative storytelling. Since opening the first Six by Nico in 2017, owner and chef Nico Simeone had one ultimate goal: “To bring an accessible tasting menu experience to more people, blending creative dining with an affordable price point”.
Nico said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be opening in the heart of Bristol. This vibrant and bustling city has a unique energy that we believe will challenge our creativity and inspire us to push new boundaries. We’re excited to be part of the local dining scene and to share our passion for innovative, high-quality food with the people of Bristol.
“When we launched our ‘At Home’ service during the pandemic, we saw a strong connection with the local community, which made this opening feel like a natural next step. Forming strong relationships with local suppliers is a key priority for us, as we aim to bring people together and create unforgettable culinary experiences in this dynamic city.”
The Six by Nico journey began in Nic’s home city Glasgow with his first restaurant. Inspired by his Italian grandparents who owned a chip shop, the debut menu of the Six by Nico concept, ‘The Chippie’, celebrated both his Scottish and Italian heritage with dishes like the playful twist on a deep-fried Mars Bar – Chocolate Pave and Irn Bru Sorbet.
Six by Nico’s menu is £44 per person, a matching wine flight is £30pp and a cocktail pairing (alcohol and non-alcohol available £35pp.
