Six By Nico Belfast

1. This is the third time we’ve been and continue to be amazed by the menu that is put on. This time it was Istanbul. The lamb was absolutely amazing 👏 the dessert with the candied walnut just divine with the matched wines (which i managed to knock over and the kind waiter replaced!) Really made the service.
   The waiting staff are so knowledgeable about the dishes and wines they are serving. Will definitely be back.

2. This was my first time at Six by Nico, it was a great experience. The Amalfi Coast menu was overall lovely, filled with fantastic flavours. The only course I wasn’t really a fan of was the risotto, but that’s probably just because I’m not really a risotto fan. The only thing that let it down was the chairs, very uncomfortable. The staff were all welcoming and friendly, I’d definitely go again.

3. I thought the food was very hit and miss, not particularly enjoyable at all. One thing they have going for them is the wine tasting, it opened my eyes to so many great wines. Considering it’s a set menu, we barely finished dessert before being told we needed to leave for the next guests. Getting your jacket back, well you’ve paid so you can wait a ridiculous amount of time with clearly no proper storage system. For the price, absolutely not worth it after spending nearly £200. Tried, won’t be back.

4. Six by Nico is chain of restaurants which have locations across the UK and Ireland. I have tried their food in London and was very interested to try out the Belfast branch. It was just as delightful! They introduce the concept of fine dining in a safe, approachable and afforable way. For those that love fine dining already there is still lots to be pleased with. I would advise to book in advance as it can be quite busy!
   We had the ‘Cooking Hollywood’ menu on our visit, in the vegan variation so just make sure to let them know when booking. The dishes were delicious with a special shout out to the Artichoke and Turnip, proves they can make anything shine and ended up my favourite dish! I thought that the Vegan alternative of ‘Bubba Gump “Shrimp”‘ was weak in my opinion as the Malaysian curry was removed and this was a shame as every other dish was fantastic.
   Overall, Beth served us brilliantly and was super attentive. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, as well as all of this I felt the meal was very well priced. Six by Nico is absolutely worth visiting even if the thoughts of ‘fine dining’ is off putting. Their menus will put you at ease and you may even get into the swing of it! 😊

5. Six of us dined here yesterday for the Sunday Roast. All in all it was lovely. Some flavours were a little strong for a couple of us and the chicken was dry but the rest of the food was great. The only down side was at the end of the meal when another server came to our table and said ” How was everything? Would you like anything else? I’ll go get your bill! One sentence, no pauses between the questions. When we said we would actually like to order coffee and finish our wine she said she would have to go and check when they needed the table back. Our server came back and we explained that we would like to finish our drinks and two of us would like coffee. He also went to check when we needed to be off the table. He came back and informed us we had 15 mins. We had been on the table at this point for an hour and a half. We ordered the coffees , asked for the bill and sorted it while we finished our drinks. It really tainted the experience overall. This is the 4th time visiting Belfast and the 2nd time we have been rushed off the table. Maybe the table allocations need to be revised slightly , especially if you are doing the wine pairings.
