RENOWNED Scottish-Italian chef Nico Simeone is to introduce his unique Glasgow and Edinburgh dining concept to Belfast next month in a £500,000 investment which is creating 40 jobs.
'Six by Nico' Belfast will be the third addition to the growing restaurant portfolio, taking Nico’s conceptual restaurant idea out of Scotland for the first time and placing it in the city's bustling Cathedral Quarter.
The investment will bring the introduction of a pioneering revolving culinary hub, as every six weeks Nico and his team will serve up a brand new six-course £28-a-head tasting menu, each one themed on a different place, memory or idea.
Drawing inspiration from both at home and abroad, Nico and his team will combine different ingredients, flavours and dishes to bring memories and stories, creating a brand-new and ever-evolving dining experience which has gone down a storm in the Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Simeone said: “We're hugely excited to bring an unforgettable culinary experience to Belfast. I have visited the city and I grew up with an understanding of the strong Ulster-Scots connection.
"Belfast is the perfect location for our next venture and I can’t think of a better location than the vibrant food and drinks scene of the Cathedral Quarter. We are really looking forward to collaborating with local businesses and have people from the city join our team.”
