GLASGOW chef Nico Simeone has hailed the return of the restaurant with news of a comeback inspired by memories of the circus.
Mr Simeone said his team has created a "showstopping menu seasoned with a little bit of mystery, a little bit of magic, and a whole lot of joy”.
Six by Nico said that “the ambience of the circus is especially uplifting - bringing people and families together with adulterated fun and comforting food”.
The firm said: “After a downer of a year, the team at Six by Nico knows how to turn a meal into a show. If your favourite memories consist of Ferris wheels and fried dough, 'The Circus' menu will be right up your alley this spring."
From Monday April 26 in Scotland - Glasgow and Edinburgh - and from Monday May 17 in England - Manchester, Liverpool and London - Six by Nico restaurants will showcase the flavours of “upscale carnival food and surprise and delight guests looking for the greatest feast”.

The new six course circus tasting menu includes: “'Candy Butchers' with beef carpaccio, burger sauce, aged parmesan, pickled cucumber and 'The Greatest Show' with smoked flat iron, wild garlic, black truffle emulsion, ox cheek pasty.”
Mr Simeone said: "Who amongst us doesn't have fond memories of a visit to the circus when we were young? The circus is a fascinating visual and our reopening menu is full with colourful unpretentious, playful dishes.
"Everybody needs a little extra excitement right now and our team had lots of fun developing and creating this theme as we prepare to reopen our Six by Nico restaurants across the country." Diners can book a table now for "The Circus".

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
