Six by Nico wows Manchester
Manchester’s Six by Nico preview service is being hailed as one of the city’s best tasting‑menu meals after early diners posted rave reactions this week. The preview buzz landed on social feeds and dining roundups in the last 48 hours. (x.com)
Spring Gardens’ Six by Nico site has been relaunched this month as Lennox, a new solo project from founder Nico Simeone that replaces the restaurant’s previous format. (hospitalityandcateringnews.com ) (hospitalityandcateringnews.com) The venue is being advertised as an intimate, open‑kitchen operation with a maximum of 56 covers, an 18‑seat bar and a six‑seat chef’s table — details listed on local hospitality listings. (manchesterwire.co.uk ) (manchesterwire.co.uk) Menus at Lennox are described by the team as moving away from Six by Nico’s six‑week themed tasting format toward “fire‑led” and a la carte dishes including Japanese barbecue and dry‑aged steak and fish, with visible dry‑age fridges on display. (visitmanchester.com ) (visitmanchester.com) Industry writeups say the switch is framed as Simeone’s “more stripped‑back” and personal vision for the Spring Gardens site, positioning Lennox as a different proposition from the wider Six by Nico network. (secretmanchester.com ) (secretmanchester.com) Regional press that reviewed the launch weekend reported diners’ strong reactions and described the opening as having “jaws dropping” over the launch weekend, a surge that has been echoed in short social videos and posts from local accounts. (msn.com ) (msn.com) Social clips and local food accounts have already shared footage from the new venue — a TikTok post highlighting dishes and dry‑aged meats attracted visible engagement in the days after the opening. (tiktok.com ) (tiktok.com) Six by Nico continues elsewhere in Manchester (notably the Deansgate site) while Spring Gardens operates under the Lennox name, according to multiple local listings and coverage of the rebrand published this month.
