Beat 6, the new charitable restaurant from the group behind Six by Nico, has opened this week.
The restaurant in Dennistoun, Glasgow, serves similar food to other Six by Nico ventures but will donate 100% of their profits to Beatson Cancer Charity, offering a unique blend of culinary food and social good.
The 34-cover restaurant 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.

Restaurateur Nico Simeone, his wife and their family want to help the Beatson Cancer Charity help others in the same way it helped them. Nico's wife is one of thousands of Scots who has benefited from Beatson's world-class treatment.
Nico Simeone from Simeone Group 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.
"An exciting day for our team who have worked hard over the past 4 month to prepare for the opening. We genuinely hope that this is the first of many Beat 6 restaurants that we will be able to open for them, and we will always be grateful for everything they do to help change the lives of those affected by cancer every day".
Martin Cawley, CEO of Beatson Cancer Charity, said: “Beat 6 is one of the most exciting fundraising initiatives I think we’ve ever been involved in. There are probably around 30,000 people per year diagnosed with cancer in Scotland – Greater Glasgow and Clyde is by far the biggest proportion of that. That means there will be thousands of people that will benefit from Beat 6, and over the course of the years, that will be immeasurable.
"We’re so grateful to Nico Simeone, his wife Valentina and the rest of their family – their generosity is overwhelming.”
Beat 6 is open weekly Tuesday - Saturday, the six-course menu is available from noon to night. The Beat 6 menu is priced at £32 per person with the option to enjoy an expertly selected wine and specialist drinks pairing for an additional £27. Beat 6 also offers a vegetarian alternative for every course.
