Six By Nico Deansgate Launch

Who doesn’t love a visit to Nico’s, as it’s affectionally called these days.  We certainly do, and are long term fans of the whole concept.  An ever-changing menu, which every 6 weeks pivots to reflect a new cuisine or ethos, priced amazingly well, with just the right amount of occasion. 

So following the huge success of their Spring Gardens branch, it was announced earlier in the year that a new venue would open in the Deansgate area.  We first saw photos of the then building site of an interior months ago, and kept an eye on things in the run up to launch.  So when our press invitation to said launch arrived, we couldn’t wait to accept.

The new site is a cracker, with décor paying homage to Manchester’s textile heritage via wall-hung tapestries and some incredible industrial touches, all complementing the cozily well-lit space.

On launch, the menu is Tokyo, which in our opinion is very possibly the greatest food city on the planet.  The menu in full contains everyone’s Japanese favourites.

Chicken Karaage; Crispy Thigh, Togarashi, Oroshi Shoga Ginger.

Tempura; Crisp Enoki Mushroom, Pickled Daikon & Ponzu.

Okonomiyaki; Pork & Prawn Pancake, Okonomi Sauce, Japanese Mayonnaise.

Ramen; Miso Sea Bass, Tokyo Turnip, Shimeji Mushroom, Egg Yolk Jam & Kombu Dashi.

Tonkatsu; Panko Pork Cutlet, Glazed Belly, Cabbage, Hokkaido Pumpkin & Yakitori Ham Jam.

Strawberry Candy; White Chocolate, Matcha Cake, Candy Strawberry.

I can honestly say that this menu is the best one yet, and hence our previous favourite The Chippy has finally been surpassed after all these years!

Get yourself booked in soon, as it won’t be about for very long; until January 14th.  The Toyko menu is priced at an amazing £39, with an optional wine pairing for another £30.
