Six by Nico has reopened its flagship London restaurant in Fitzrovia following a major refurbishment.
The Charlotte Street restaurant, which originally opened in 2020, now includes a walk-in bar, larger outdoor terrace and more open-plan layout.
The previous industrial-style interiors have been replaced with a warmer design incorporating neutral tones, deep reds, new furniture, upholstery, artwork and lighting.
The open kitchen remains at the centre of the restaurant, while the new bar opens directly onto the expanded terrace and can be visited without a dining reservation.
The first six-week tasting menu following the reopening will be American Murder Mystery, running on selected dates between 5 October and 15 November.
The interactive experience invites diners to investigate the fictional decades-old murder of Maggie Sawyer, with clues, messages and evidence incorporated across six courses.
It follows previous Six by Nico mystery-led menus including Murder on the Midnight Express and Sherlock Holmes. The latter combined a six-course menu with an interactive investigation earlier this year.
The American-inspired menu includes Crispy Fried Chicken & Waffle with buckwheat waffle, smoked bacon caramel and roast chicken crème; Cuban Sandwich with chorizo and smoked ham hough, mojo rojo, battered cornichon and mustard caviar; and New England Clam Chowder with roasted ling, crab bisque, barbecue corn, rouille and potato terrine.
Dessert is Maple Apple Cobbler with baked apple delice, oat and rye whiskey ice cream, maple and candied pecans. Vegetarian alternatives will be available throughout.
Nico Simeone, Founder of Six by Nico, said: “We can’t wait to welcome visitors back to Six by Nico Fitzrovia, our flagship London restaurant! The refurbishment brings some of that newer, warmer feel to the original London site, while keeping the open kitchen, changing menus, and theatrical side of Six by Nico at its centre.
“The introduction of the walk-in bar creates a completely new way to experience Six by Nico in London. Guests no longer necessarily need to be joining us for the full six-course experience to visit. The bar can be used for a drink before dinner, cocktails with friends or as a stop during a night out in Fitzrovia, with no reservation required.
“Our position overlooking Charlotte Street also creates a much stronger connection between the restaurant and the neighbourhood outside, too.”
The refurbishment comes as Six by Nico continues to develop its restaurant portfolio. The group has grown from five restaurants in 2020 to 15 in 2026, including a second London location at Canary Wharf.
