Six by Nico Glasgow
Six by Nico serves a six-course tasting menu built around a theme – a place, a memory or an idea – and changes it completely every six weeks. The Glasgow restaurant is on Albion Street in the Merchant City, having moved from its original Finnieston home in January 2024. It suits curious eaters who like a surprise.

How the menu works
There's no à la carte. Instead, each six-week run takes a single theme and turns it into six courses, so a menu inspired by a city or a childhood food memory might be followed by something completely different. Regulars come back for each new run, and it's a relaxed way into tasting-menu dining without a long, formal evening. Diners only need to choose whether to add drinks.
The Merchant City site
Glasgow is where the Six by Nico concept started, in Finnieston. In January 2024 that restaurant closed and its bookings moved to the new Merchant City site on Albion Street, as part of the group's investment in several new Glasgow venues. The area is full of bars, so it's easy to make a night of it.
Booking and timing
Booking ahead is the norm – reserve through the Glasgow page on the website, and check the current theme before you go, especially if you have dietary needs. Afterwards, the Merchant City's bars are on your doorstep, and the Tolbooth Steeple at Glasgow Cross is a couple of minutes' walk away for a look at one of the city's oldest landmarks.
