In the heart of Belfast, Six by Nico brings storytelling to the table - quite literally. This isn’t just dinner; it’s a six-course journey through a concept, destination or idea, reimagined every six weeks with playful flair and serious culinary skill. Helmed by Scottish-Italian chef Nico Simeone, the restaurant’s ever-evolving menus promise diners something fresh, inventive and immersive with every visit - a format that has quickly become a cult favourite across the UK.
Right now, guests at Six by Nico Belfast are tumbling down the rabbit hole with The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, an Alice in Wonderland-inspired menu that trades the familiar for the fantastical. It opens with a savoury chicken fat doughnut, soaked in rich roast chicken juices, and only gets curiouser from there. From Caterpillar’s Secret Garden - a smoky, herb-strewn plate of BBQ hispi cabbage and taramasalata - to the whimsically named Jam First, Logic Later, a final dessert of burnt toast delice and jammy dodger, the entire experience walks the line between dreamlike and delicious.
Each dish is matched with an optional wine pairing that’s as carefully considered as the food, and there’s the option to begin with a cocktail and snack pairing to set the scene. The tasting menu format allows just two options - the regular or a vegetarian version - both showcasing the same level of creativity and refinement.
Located in Belfast’s buzzing Cathedral Quarter, Six by Nico is sleek, contemporary, and buzzing with anticipation - the kind of place where diners lean in eagerly as each dish lands, and phones are just as likely to snap menus as mains. But make no mistake: this isn’t style over substance. It’s substance, surprise, and storytelling in six plates. Whether you’re a seasoned foodie or just someone who loves a good theme, Six by Nico Belfast offers an experience that’s as imaginative as it is indulgent. Come hungry. Leave inspired.
