Boasting carefully curated and ever-evolving tasting menus, Six By Nico kicked things off with their ‘The Chippie’ menu.
When we heard that Scottish success story Six By Nico were opening their doors in Leeds, we simply could not be more excited.
They officially open today on East Parade, Monday 3 July 2023, however we were lucky enough to visit a few days before to sample their opening offering - and it certainly did not disappoint.
The concept of Six By Nico is unique and unlike anything else in the city, they produce carefully curated themed tasting menus which change every six weeks.

What makes Six By Nico so great is the price, costing just £39 per person with wine pairing available for an added £30, the restaurant are making fine dining accessible to those wanting to experience something special without breaking the bank.
We sampled ‘The Chippie’ menu - a tasting menu which felt incredibly appropriate for the Leeds opening and offered a unique take on the traditional fish and chip shop dinner.
The 6 course menu is a journey through the senses and transports you back to the nostalgic memories of the beloved chippy tea.

We devoured their original take on Scampi, Chips and Cheese, Fish Supper, Steak Pie and even a Deep Fried Mars Bar topped with Irn Bru Sorbet to finish things off.
There's also a vegetarian menu on offer, serving alternatives such as Cauliflower Beignet, Halloumi, Sweet Potato Cannelloni and Root Vegetable Pie with a burnt onion ketchup.
Each wine paired perfectly and alongside each course was explained thoroughly by our very attentive waitress.

The interior of the restaurant was slick, modern and comfortable with pops of colour throughout. There was no feeling of intimidation as one may expect from a typical tasting menu, immediately we were made to feel at home and we can't wait to go back and try out their other menus.
Six By Nico is the perfect meal out for those who wish to experience something completely unique and out of the ordinary. With a menu that changes every six weeks, you can go time and time again and be wowed every single time.

A popular bar and nightlife spot on Call Lane has closed its doors for good this weekend.
Revolución de Cuba - or Revs de Cuba, to most of us - announced the imminent closure of its Leeds bar last week, and went out with a 'final fiesta' on Saturday.
The venue opened on Call Lane, right in the heart of Leeds' nightlife heartland, back in 2015, and remained open after the collapse of Revolution's parent company back in January 2026.
The group's other venue in the city, Revolution at the Electric Press, did close immediately in January.
Revs de Cuba was famed for its Latin-inspired food and cocktails, and its late-night parties that tried to recreate the party atmosphere of Cuba.
The two-storey venue also had live music throughout the week, plus dancers and entertainment at the weekends.
Posting a statement to followers, Revs de Cuba wrote: "We have loved shaking your cocktails and creating unmissable parties and events over the years, but as of today, 15th August 2026, we will sadly be closing our doors in Leeds.
"We want to extend an enormous thank you for joining the Revolucion party and making some unforgettable memories.
"Any guests with bookings will be contacted in due course - Thank you for your patience and understanding. Goodbye and Gracias."
Commenting on their farewell post, one person wrote: "Noooooo! I had the best nights ever at Revs. I have the best memories. This cannot be trueeee."
Another said: "Thanks for so many years of Live Music and Joy."
And someone else posted: "what a place, end of an era."
The existing Revs de Cuba site in Leeds is under the steer of the NEOS Hospitality, who have revealed grand plans for its future...
Leeds United’s Anton Stach has launched his very own burger at a local indie – and it’s all for a good cause
Clementine Hall
If it's good enough for Anton Stach, then it's good enough for us.
Well, it really is the signing that nobody saw coming...and it’s happening right opposite the station.
Meat:Stack, the Newcastle-born, award-winning burger joint on Bishopgate Street in Leeds, is giving the people what they want - a burger with Anton Stach’s name on it.
Introducing ‘The Moustachi Burger', officially launching Tuesday 18 August where Anton Stach himself will be down at Meat:Stack to meet United fans, sign autographs and, of course, tuck into his very own creation.

Even better, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Elhadj Diouf Foundation (EDF), a charity chosen by Stach that supports children through education.
Not only that, but it's a great opportunity to support Meat:Stack that has been suffering from the ongoing road works for months on end now.
So really, you've got no excuse to come down and tuck into the special which will be available through the opening weeks of the season.
Anton Stach, Leeds United and Germany midfielder, added: “Leeds has felt like home from very early on, and a lot of that is the people and the places around the ground, the businesses fans go to before and after a game. Meat:Stack is one of them, and they’ve had a hard time with the building work on their doorstep. The Moustachi Burger is a lovely nod to my YouTube channel too.
"This is a team on the rise in a city on the comeback, and support has to go both ways. I wanted to back a business Leeds fans care about and raising money for a foundation my family has given so much to at the same time means everything. I’ll be there on the 18th, bring your appetite.”
