Six by Nico Birmingham is a tasting-menu restaurant at 81 Colmore Row. Its format is built around a six-course experience inspired by a story, place or concept, giving each visit a clear beginning and progression. The central city location and pre-booked service make it suited to dates, celebrations and diners who enjoy a structured meal.
The menu changes every six weeks rather than remaining fixed. Chefs translate each theme into a sequence of dishes, using technique, presentation and recurring ideas to create a coherent narrative. This approach means individual ingredients and courses vary, but the six-course structure remains the restaurant’s defining feature.
A vegetarian version is generally available alongside the principal menu, and drink pairings can be added to follow the courses. The timed progression encourages the whole table to experience the menu together. Guests should check the current theme before booking, particularly when planning around a favourite style or ingredient.
Service runs daily from lunch into the evening, and reservations are central to the experience. Gift vouchers and menu announcements allow diners to plan for future themes as they are released. Allergies and dietary requirements should be disclosed during booking so the restaurant can confirm whether the current tasting menu can be adapted safely.
Address: 81 Colmore Row, Birmingham B3 2BA, England
