Lennox: From Unscalable Dreams to 3 New Eateries

Chef Nico Simeone, renowned for his Six by Nico restaurant concept, is launching a new dining experience called Lennox. Initially presented as a highly personal and unscalable project, Lennox is set to open three establishments by August 2026, expanding from its Manchester base to Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The menu at Lennox deviates from the themed tasting menus of Six by Nico, focusing instead on an à la carte selection. Signature dishes are characterized by a playful approach to fine dining, incorporating dry-aged meats and unexpected flavor pairings.

Examples of inventive dishes include a dry-aged beef tartare styled as an oyster in a tempura shell, and gnocchi served with deboned chicken wings. While some creations offer comforting flavors, others present bold, challenging combinations that aim to surprise diners.

Despite its initial description as a bespoke venture, the rapid expansion to three locations indicates a significant growth phase for Simeone's new culinary direction. The restaurant aims to provide a memorable and engaging dining experience, inviting patrons to explore its inventive offerings.
