Quick Verdict
Locals return repeatedly because the food surprises them and the staff actually care. It's not cheap (£45 for 6 courses, £30 for wine pairing) but reviewers call it "fantastic value for money" and book again within weeks.
You want a set tasting menu where the kitchen does the thinking, wine pairings that make sense, and staff who explain what you're eating without the theatre.
About Six By Nico Belfast
Six By Nico Belfast is a set-menu tasting restaurant on Waring Street that changes its theme every six weeks. You don't pick dishes — you eat what the kitchen's decided, and that's the point. Each menu runs 6 to 10 courses depending on what you book, with recent themes including Paris, Korean, Sherlock Holmes murder mystery nights, and Pub Classics. The wine pairings are taken seriously (reviewers praise the explanations, the swaps when a wine doesn't land, the logic of white with steak tartare). Service staff know the menu inside out and chat you through each course. Portions are small and architectural — one reviewer described dishes as "a tiny smear of something green or beige" that somehow packed flavour. The room itself is described as "intimate" and maintains a steady buzz. It sits in the heart of Belfast's city centre. One customer loved it so much they came back a week later for the same menu.
What Stands Out
Themed menus that rotate every six weeks
Reviewers mention Paris, Korean, Sherlock Holmes, and Pub Classics menus. One customer returned a week later specifically for the same Paris menu, saying "I loved it so much I went back a week later for the same menu!"
Wine pairings that elevate the meal
Multiple reviewers praise the wine pairing: "wine pairing brilliant and enlightening (white with steak tartare, pinot noir with the fish)", and staff "were nice enough to swap the dessert wine for a red wine as we don't like sweet wines."
Knowledgeable, attentive service
Reviewers consistently highlight individual staff members by name (Zenia, Hayley, Caolan, Rebecca, Cohen, Maggie, Lawrence). One notes: "they briefly explained what each menu contained or was inspired by" and another says "our server Maggie added massively to the overall experience."
