On August 14th, Six by Nico, the renowned tasting menu restaurant group, will debut its first establishment in Wales. Situated at 27 High Street in Cardiff, the restaurant will occupy the former Zizzi's site, introducing the city to Six by Nico's captivating themed menu concept.
Established in Finnieston, Scotland in 2017, the Six by Nico brand has gained recognition for its unique approach. Presenting six-course tasting menus, the restaurant charges £48 in London and £39 outside the capital (excluding beverages).
At Six by Nico, the menus undergo a refreshing transformation every six weeks. Presently, patrons can indulge in the tantalizing 'Chippie Experience' theme, which presents a creative reinterpretation of beloved chip shop favorites.
The Cardiff site will create 40-50 jobs and its design will pay homage to the medieval structure of Cardiff Castle.
Nico Simeone, founder and acting chief executive of Six by Nico, said: 'We have been lucky enough to grow our concept, since opening a small 30 cover restaurant in Glasgow in 2017. Cardiff marks a huge milestone for us, as this will be our first location in Wales.
'We are really excited to bring our ever-evolving experience to the community of Cardiff and Wales – it's a special moment for me and the team who have been here since the beginning, we can't wait to show off the Six by Nico experience.'
The group has found success with its regularly changing format and the Cardiff site will be its 12th open and trading restaurant, joining locations in Aberdeen, Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, London, and Manchester.
In January, parent company Sixco said it was planning 'significant expansion' in the UK, including the launch of patisserie brand Valaria in Glasgow, and a potential site in Dubai.
