Restaurant brand Six by Nico has announced that it will close the doors of one of its “most successful” locations situated at Spring Gardens in Manchester. However, it’s not the end for this venue, as owner Nico Simeone says the restaurant “won’t disappear” but “it will evolve” under a new name and concept, Lennox.
Six by Nico opened its Spring Gardens location in Manchester in 2019 and went on to open another Manchester location on John Dalton Street in 2023. The brand, best known for its six-course tasting menus which change every six weeks, now has around 15 restaurants across 12 cities in the UK.
“I look to reimagine one of our most successful restaurant locations, Six by Nico Springs Gardens”
In a statement, owner Nico Simeone said: “As Six by Nico approaches its tenth year, I look to reimagine one of our most successful restaurant locations, Six by Nico Springs Gardens, into something entirely new for the city.
“This hasn’t been a small decision. Spring Gardens has been one of our strongest and most loved restaurants. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built there, the team behind it and the loyalty Manchester has shown us over the years.
“Six by Nico will always stand for immersive storytelling, six-course journeys and transporting guests somewhere new. That continues, and we’re investing further into Manchester through our Deansgate location and beyond.”
“There’s another side of my cooking I haven’t shared.”
Simeone continued: “But as I look to the next decade, I’ve realised there’s another side of my cooking I haven’t shared. Something more stripped back. More personal. That’s where Lennox begins. Spring Gardens won’t disappear. It will evolve.
“A new restaurant brand is being built in that space from the ground up. A different energy. A different style. A different way of cooking.”

Described as “unapologetic, indulgent cooking, built around flavours you already love”, an opening date for Lennox is yet to be confirmed. However, for those intrigued about what Lennox really is and what it will become, you can sign up via the Lennox website and follow the journey.
