The eatery, which is currently located in Dennistoun in Glasgow's east end, will shut up shop on Sunday October 16.

The Glasgow-based restaurant, who opened in October 2021, serves similar food to other Six by Nico ventures however donates 100 per cent of their profits to Beatson Cancer Charity, offering a unique blend of culinary food and social good. They much-loved eatery offers a constantly rotating tasting menu that celebrates some of the most popular dishes they've ever created in the Six by Nico kitchens throughout the years.

The re-location news comes as the restaurant group raised over £300k for Beatson Cancer Charity in the last year. The Six by Nico team will continue their fundraising efforts next weekend by participating in Strictly Beatson, a charity gala in Glasgow.

Restaurateur Nico Simeone, his wife, and their family want to help Beatson Cancer Charity help others the way it helped them. Nico's wife is one of thousands of Scots who have benefited from The Beatson's world-class treatment.

Nico Simeone said: "We, like many others, hold a special place in our hearts for the Beatson. We hope that the proceeds from Beat 6 will benefit the charity and the staff to whom we owe so much, as well as provide our team with the opportunity to be a part of such an important cancer journey. Our initial donation of over £300,000 is only the beginning, and we will be eternally grateful for everything they do every day to improve the lives of cancer patients".

Martin Cawley, CEO Beatson Cancer Charity added: "We are absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity of Nico Simeone and his team. Our collaboration with Six by Nico Group continues to be a great success. To raise over £300k through fundraising from the wider Six by Nico Group together with donations from loyal customers is simply amazing.

"The concept of Beat 6 is not only to help raise funds but also to raise awareness of our charity and its services. The response in one year is exceptional and certainly an applaudable achievement."

Nico Simeone launched the first Six by Nico in Finnieston, Glasgow back in 2017 and subsequently opened his second site in Edinburgh in 2018 - both proving to be a hit with locals and tourists.
