Beat 6 in East Dunbartonshire

Now called Bamboleo and serving dishes with a Spanish slant. The restaurant is still raising money for the beatson. We tried the Sunday roast, delicious, I'll so be trying to make manchego mac and cheese at home. Excellent service, tasty food and a relaxed Sunday.

Went a few weeks ago was the worst I’ve ever had. Beef was tough as boots. I informed them online via website to tell them before leaving review but was ignored. Very expensive for very poor food.

Lunch with friends (incl. 1 vege), so had the opportunity to try several dishes from the menu; smoked mackerel toast, goats cheese, black pudding bon bons, mac and cheese, flat iron steak, fish goujons, hispi cabbage, date cake+sundae (+wine, obvs) - all very good and thoroughly enjoyable. Service was just right too. We all left thinking 'we'd like to come back'.

It was my daughter's birthday and we were very well taken care of.

I recently visited Beat 6 for a Sunday roast, and unfortunately, it was the worst I’ve ever had. I ordered medium-rare beef, but what I received was overcooked to medium-well and so tough that it was nearly impossible to chew. The Yorkshire pudding was also disappointing, as it was far too batter-heavy and lacked the quality one would expect from a restaurant. It wasn’t just us who experienced this—other customers near us also left most of their beef untouched and complained about how tough it was. While the staff were very polite and friendly, I understand that this issue might be beyond their control. They even invited us to leave feedback after payment, which I hope they take seriously. However, I haven’t received any response from them yet. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the food and hope they make improvements soon.

Food was superb service friendly and efficient alcohol slightly expensive but for an amazing cause so shouldn't be a issue

Superb dining experience - delicious food and great service. Thank you!

Steak and chips nice. Service was pleasant if a bit slow, with only 4 other diners in at the same time. Prices are not reasonable. Website says "100% of profits" going to charity. Nice idea, but doesn't appear they're making a personal contribution going by the menu prices. In addition, they add another charitable donation to the bill (as a purchase line), and then a service charge on top of that. A service charge on a charitable donation? I've never seen the like. I think what's going on here is morally questionable, if not legally suspect. We're a family that have been impacted by NHL and have been supporting the Beatson for over 3 decades, and we have friends working with the centre. Any criticism levied is about the operational charitable claim of the owner, not the cause itself. The website claims over £1m donated so far, but there's no breakdown of how this funded, collected, or managed. More transparency is needed, including how the restaurant adds value (if any) to the diners contributions.

First visit at Beat6 and the food was really nice. Staff were fantastic.

Just had another wonderful meal in Beat 6. This was my 3rd visit in the last few months. I love coming here as the food is always delicious and the staff are just so friendly, helpful and polite. Its become one of my favourite restaurants to go to. Love the donations to the Beatson too. Would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely wonderful experience. The food was out of this world. We had sourdough, pie of the day (pork and onion), and the date and ale cake. My husband had the Thermidor Seafood Pie. It was all prepared to a very high standard and made with quality produce. This was particularly obvious in the seafood pie. Our waitor was attentive, polite and friendly. Highly recommend and looking forward to returning soon.

Unfortunately our experience at Beat6 on this occasion was really disappointing. We booked a table for 6 people to enjoy The Sunday Roast 3 Course menu at £32 per head. The staff are very welcoming and work well however they were so let down by the quality of the food. Firstly, our starters were so poor, very badly presented and tasted like a piece of dated, toasted bread with a plain topping on a plate with no garnish. Given the restaurant supports such a good cause we decided to await our main meals, hoping they would be better. Well they were without doubt the worst plated roast dinner we have tasted in many years from a supposedly quality restaurant. Our beef (both rare and well done) was impossible to cut and when we did manage to cut a piece, it was impossible to chew. The Yorkshire puddings were brick hard! We did complain and to be fair, the staff organised fresh mains apart from one of our guests who was so put off by his initial dish he said he couldn’t take another plate. When our second attempt at the main arrived it was just as bad, meat impossible to cut and eat, hard yorkies. We apologies to our guests we had invited to this restaurant and complained again. We declined any dessert and paid for our drinks, we also left the waiting staff a tip and paid the donation to the charity. We will now never return to Beat 6 and can only suggest a new chef and please take a look at how good Roastit Bubbly Jocks do it. Their Sunday Roast is simple superb. Such a shame we want to support this local restaurant but never again.

Great menus and at a respectable price with ALL profits going to a get cause in The Beatson Charity

We were put upstairs it was cold food was ok but overpriced 3 onion rings was £5 coffee wasn't very hot

Incredible food and incredible value for the price. Nowhere else in Glasgow comes close to value for money. The service is always really good and the staff are friendly, highly knowledgeable about the menimu and seem to have a real passion for the job

Phenomenal meal! We came here for the Sunday Roast and what a feed it was! Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Portion sizes were brilliant and very filling. Staff were so lovely and very accommodating. Will be back and will be recommending to others. Just brilliant!

Given the dearth of good restaurants in the Milngavie/Bearsden area we were very happy that this restaurant had opened and love the concept of the profits going to the Beatson. We went a few times when the restuarant was doing the taster menu and the food was excellent. We booked recently but were dispppointed to see that the taster menu has been swapped for 'pub style' menu. We decided to go anyway as the food had been so good. We were all happy with the starters, the goats cheese croquettes were particularly good. However, the mains were a bit of a disappointment apart from the hispi cabbage side, The fish goujons - although very nice - were quite a small portion and we had to pay extra for chips to go with them. We felt the dish should come with chips (given the low cost) and we would be happy to pay extra for the other veg. There also wasnt many veg option to add on only hispi and lettuce. Would be good to have other veg on the side menu - since the dishes don't come with any. The pie which my partner had was overdone and the pastry a bit burnt. The pudding was also disappointing the date and ale cake was burnt on both portions. So all in all not quite up to the standard of previous visits.Service was good and attentive.

Loved it, can't wait till our next visit and also knowing you support a charity close to everyone at the same time

The food and service were excellent, but let down by terrible house wine.

Went for the steak frites Thursday. It was delicious. Really friendly and helpful staff.

This was a great dining experience, the food was amazing and the staff very attentive. Highly recommended

Excellent food at a bargain price benefitting a good charity.

Atmosphere was wonderful, staff absolutely lovely. We had problems finding the venue as the outside lighting wasn’t turned on when we arrived. It’s apparent that the food is locally sourced, everything was so fresh. All my courses were delightful but my husband’s beef was extremely tough. I did wonder if part of the concept is to keep the costs down by using cheaper ingredients. Although beautifully done, potato confit was a questionable item. Both deserts were with on the intense side with caramel ice cream, but both were excellent. A fruit option would have been nice. I didn’t leave feeling over full, which suited me brilliantly. Those with larger appetites might feel underfed, as small portions. The venue ticks all the boxes for guests. Affordable, locally sourced, near public transport, delicious and in aid of The Beatson Cancer charity.

Excellent service. Small set menu. That said every dish was excellent.

The concept behind Beat 6 is great and the be applauded. However, the experience was fairly disappointing. I was excited to get stuck into a great Sunday roast, but honestly, I felt like I should have homed cooked one. While it tasted OK, the potatoes and veg were hard and dry, possibly having been prepared earlier and reheated. The meat was OK, but not a great cut, with quite a bit of gristle. Best dish was the sticky date pudding. Overall, the portions were small, as is the location. The tables are really close together, so you are very cosy with the diners either side of you. With the meal fully served, the plates didn't quite fit on the table. A great concept, and the team worked hard, but there are better Sunday roast options out there.

Perfect sunday lunch, service was kind and attentive and the food was tremendous. Bonus that its for a good cause

Delicious Sunday roast at Beat 6 today

I love the altruism demonstrated and appreciate the paired back taster menu compared with the "6 by" concept. Come, experience and enjoy while supporting a good cause!

Great dining for a good cause, who doesn’t support that? The restaurant works with a fixed menu of 4 courses. There are optional courses as well. In each course you can choose between fish, meat or veggie. To each their taste. Everything is locally produced, which we loved and very much support. Nice open kitchen and staff is very helpful. The restaurant is quite remote from Glasgow city, but you can get there by bus. One small thing, it would be nice if the staff would give a little more information on the cause and their mission.

Lovely staff, who seemed well trained. Lovely atmosphere. Lovely food too, but there wasn't nearly enough of it, despite having both the optional courses. ... Aware that it's for charity, but all 3 of us would have paid more for more food. Also took too long (2.5 hours) . Course 1 should have been an amuse bouche, it was microscopic. Won't return, but do wish it well. Got chips on the way home!

Tasting menu - Food fabulous . Wine pairing good. Service not rushed. Will be back. Easy to get to-close to station.

Great food and dining experience

Food is excellent, and lovely to have this on my doorstep. Only drawback was the price of a glass on wine unfortunately. Staff were very attentive, so big shout out to them.

Lovely food experience. The wine pairings were excellent.

A great example of the Six by Nico experience. Lovely surroundings and great service, shame its closing.

The six course tasting menu was a culinary delight! A warm welcome,attentive and informative staff. Each course explained in detail. Too difficult to chose a favourite! Will definitely be back.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Chippie themed tasting menu last night. Delicious food, amazing tequila aperitifs and friendly staff who explained each dish very well. And having been a patient of the Beatson, it was fantastic to be contributing to their charity. There wasn't anything on the menu my partner and I didn't enjoy. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

The food is 10/10, staff are great and know the menu inside out. Could be quicker at spotting an empty glass, but all in all a great experience

Excellent taster menu that changes quite often. Food is first class and the staff are all helpful, polite and friendly. Very busy at the weekend so booking is a must.

Taster menu swapped an item I did not eat for another. Great service not intrusive food was great. Would recommend a visit

Went for food in late August and thought the food and service was excellent. The atmosphere in the place is really good too.

Brilliant food and even better staff..

Excellent value, great experience

I absolutely adore Beat 6. Third time visiting, and still not one bad dish! Amazing food, gorgeous wine pairings and fab service. And all profits to charity! Well worth a visit :)

Excellent 6 course tasting menu. Great concept, menu changes every 3 weeks. Pity no beer only lager. So many fine Breweries making Scottish beers/ales yet they sell menebrea.

Excellent dining experience, interesting and incredibly tasty food. 6 small dishes but just the right portions. Menu changes frequently so there always something new.

Absolutely out of this world. The food was perfect. I've never tasted anything like it before. 10/10. Excellent value for money for a tasting menu.

Such a fantastic meal and the staff were amazing. Special thanks to Bobby and Suzanne who made the night special with their extra attention and kindness. We will 100% be back.

Excellent cause to support Beatson. I didn't feel there was enough about the fantastic charity. Great food as usual and nice cocktails to accommodate. The waiters might need to rehearse the menu a bit. That part was a bit muffled.

Everything about this restaurant is sensational. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and informative. The portions sizes are perfect (there's six, afterall) and there's the option to have a pairing wine with each course, too. The menu changes every six weeks, as well, so there's always an excuse to go back and try something new. They are also raising money for a fantastic cause, which is a wonderful bonus.

Wow! Fabulous food and service from Ricardo and Tom. One of the best eating experiences I've had. What a treat.

Extremely good meal with imaginative dishes, great presentation, and enthusiastic staff, overall a great experience.

Not our first 6 by Nico experience, been to both Glasgow and Edinburgh as well as done Home X a few times ..... however .... this is the best of them all. The food - excellent, the staff excellent, the restaurant - excellent, getting there - excellent (41 bus from outside Queen St Station). The beSt accolade we could give- WE WILL BE BACL. 👍❤

Visited at weekend to celebrate our anniversary.We chose to have the vegetarian taster . Food was amazing and beautifully presented. My husband also enjoyed the paired wines. Service was fab..All staff passionate when describing each course and wine. Best meal we've had out in years. Would give it six stars if I could. Such a treat to get such imaginative vegetarian food. .

Terrible neighbour. Dumps their rubbish in non commercial bins that are for residents. Constant smoking by customers. Have some respect for your neighbours.

I’m a regular here - so my review is very biased! Every two weeks I have been coming since as long as I can remember. The staff are second to non. The food is absolutely outstanding. If you need a dish changed or altered ? They will make sure they can do this for you. Cocktails are masterful. They make sure young or old are satisfied. My two daughters love the place also (11,4) See you Sunday!

Every plate was a delight. The Tartare was brilliant. Star of the show for me was the Fregola Sarda. Amazing value for such great food. Lovely staff who pace things just right. A great experience

What an absolutely brilliant experience again, my friends and I had the Catalan menu and it was aaaabsolutely amazing! Susanna and the chefs are just so lovely.. Fabulous day!

Staff are amazing and the food is class!! Great that profits go to the Beatson

Came here for a first date with someone with severe allergies, and the staff went above and beyond to check every. single. ingredient. Fantastic staff and wholesome atmosphere, will be back here very soon.. and did I mention the food is amazing?!

This is an absolute hidden gem and well worth a visit. We had the six course tasting menu, which was absolutely faultless - beautifully presented, delicious food. Add to this the contemporary setting, excellent value, relaxed ambience and friendly service, I could not recommend this restaurant more highly. We will be back!

The duck was my favorite course of the Cooking Childhood menu!

Fantastic, every course magnificent

Fantastic dining experience , loved the themed tasting night . Staff lovely , relaxed atmosphere .

Had the vegetarian tasting menu and it was so good. Super friendly staff in a place with a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely go back

Great experience for a fantastic cause. The staff were super friendly, explaining each course and always happy to help if needed. A few of the courses weren't to our taste (chicken parfait for me and the gazpacho for my partner) and we were instantly offered an alternative. The rest of the menu was delicious, hazelnut parpadelle being the highlight. Pistachio parfait is my new favourite thing! And the trio of pork was delicious. Nothing to do with the restaurant itself but the website is needing improved as we didn't have a clue what the vegetarian options were until getting there despite messaging the social media team. I also don't agree with a 12.5% surcharge added to bills, even if it can be removed if requested. However a lovely night and great to try some new flavours that I wouldn't usually see together.

Great experience will be coming back.

Great experience, fantastic staff and lovely atmosphere. The food was just as tasty as when we've tried it at Six by Nico before. Highly recommended.

Fantastic six course meal. Friendly and informative staff explaining exactly what you are getting with each course. Would recommend the wine pairing with each course . When mentioned one of our party had nut allergy was dealt with without fuss and didnt feel having missed out at all. Nice buzz about the place and the fact profits going to the Beatson all the better. Will return😁

Food was delicious and plated well. The only dish I wasn't a fan of was the beef tartare - not the fault of the staff. They apologised and offered me the veggie option which was kind. Wine pairing is highly recommended. What makes this Six By Nico restaurant special is all profits (above operating costs) go to charity.

Visiting in “opening week”, you expect issues, however the service was excellent and the food was outstanding (like the rest of the Six by Nico restaurants). Already booked to come back, especially when supporting such a great cause
