Six by Nico chain creating 60 jobs with second Manchester site
Restaurants chain, Six by Nico, is opening a second Manchester site later this month, creating 60 jobs.
The business will open on John Dalton Street, on Thursday, November 30, and will be its second Manchester location after its debut at Spring Gardens in 2019.
After a period of significant growth, with new openings in Leeds, Cardiff and Birmingham in 2023, Six by Nico’s second Manchester restaurant marks the groups 15th UK home, although the future of its Liverpool site remains unclear, having closed its doors in August last year.
The group said that, due to increased demand at the original Spring Gardens restaurant, the second venue, which is located within the Deansgate area, will create an additional 72 covers in the heart of the city.
With large woven hanging features taking centre stage, combined with interiors inspired by the cotton ball, plus rich, timber stains and antique brass embellishments throughout, the Deansgate restaurant subtly nods to Manchester’s cotton and textile history.
Founded by chef, Nico Simeone, Six by Nico creates a new six-course tasting menu, changing every six weeks, with dishes inspired by places, memories, or imagination.
Since launching in Finnieston in Glasgow 2017, Six by Nico has opened locations in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, London Fitzrovia, London Canary Wharf, Belfast, Dublin Aberdeen, Leeds, Cardiff and also in November, Birmingham.
Nico Simeone said: “We are very excited to be opening our second venue in the vibrant city of Manchester.
“Since launching in 2019, our Spring Gardens venue has gone from strength to strength, prompting demand for a second site in the heart of the city. The support we have had from the people of Manchester and further afield, as well as the team we have had there since day one, have all helped make a second site possible.”
He added: “Our aim at Six by Nico is to help our guests create memories and stories together, by pushing our creative boundaries with a new menu every six weeks.”
The Liverpool site opened on North John Street in November 2019, but was forced to close in August last year due to flooding in its basement.
In October 2021 the restaurant received a zero-star food hygiene rating.
The site, in a busy part of Liverpool’s city centre, remains closed with furniture stacked and no signs of occupation.
Six by Nico has been contacted for comment.
