Chef Nico Simeone has set his sights on another Glasgow location for a new restuarant.
The man behind Six by Nico has submitted plans for a new restaurant, bar and roof-top space at the old Fopp on Byres Road.
The premises is currently being let out to the Santa Lucia restaurant and charity Refuweegee after the music store closed in January.
Nico is looking to create three facilities in the building including a restaurant, bar and roof top bar with dining.
The roof top terrace would be covered for all-year-round use and would have 'small trees and planting to the rear and to the front with a green roof included to create a mini habitat for birds and insects and provide a pleasant vista for the flats opposite and from the bathing club / gyms to the rear.'
Plans submitted to Glasgow City Council detail: "The intention for the site is to create one ownership with three facilities within, including – fine dining restaurant, bar and roof top bar with dining.
“The roof top bar will be screened with glass and aluminium construction to act as acoustic barriers.
“The open area is also to be set back from the Byres Road elevation to reduce the risk of noise leakage affecting the flats opposite.
"It will be an asset for the thriving leisure / social scene of the local cosmopolitan community,” the papers state.
“There is currently only one roof terrace nearby at the Chip on Ashton lane which is very popular with the customers and is busy throughout the year.
“This demonstrates a demand for this type type of facility in the neighbourhood.”
An external seating area could also be added on Byres Road.
The plans are due to go before the council's planning commiteee.
As previously reported by Glasgow Live , Thai restaurant, Ting Thai Caravan submitted plans to open at the site in February.
