NOMAD Melbourne

Visiting this place from a friend’s recommendation. And tbh, it’s beyond what i expect. Nice food and amazing wine list. Really enjoying a whole dinning experience. Nomad is a really nice venue with a great atmosphere. We were seated quickly, but it did take a little while before anyone came to take our drinks order. We were ordered tons of small dishes and oh boy it was not disappointing at all!! Everything was divine. Then to the main course we were ordered the pork and grilled chicken. Those meats were cooked to perfection but the pork was very salty. The chicken was nice but a bit too average. The come to my most favorite out of all which was dessert!! The olive oil cake was freaking bomb!!! It was so so so good. The only downside was when the restaurant gets busy it would get quite smoky because it’s an open kitchen so if you have a sensitive eyes or skin like me please avoid the seating near the kitchen.

Had the most comforting solo dinner at NOMAD on a relaxing weekday night, hosted by the lovely Jem who was so knowledgeable and sweet! Flatbread, fava bean hummus, and cuttlefish were all well balanced. Wood roasted chicken and potatoes were flawless and so, so flavourful! The roasted banana homemade “magnum” was delightful. Jem paired the Sabi Wabi Sémillon and the One Block Pinot Noir for me - so perfect, so satisfying. Would love to recommend NOMAD to anyone looking for an excellent night.

Great friendly service, good atmosphere and delicious food, but expect long wait for your mains. We were warned, but it was still longer than we expected! It took a little more than an hour for it to be served, and that stopped us from ordering dessert we wanted to try, because it was too late :’). For entree we ordered bread and burrata - really recommend this combination! For mains we ordered pork belly, lamb and grilled carrots. I personally preferred lamb for its meat, but the sauce on pork belly was really good. Carrots were 5/5.

We chose Nomad to celebrate our wedding anniversary and ordered “the feast” set menu and it was great!! The potions were pretty good and all tasted great. The bluefin tuna and Cauliflower blossom and were my favourite of the night but the rest of them were absolutely delicious. We ordered the pork Cutlet as well which was ok( probably the least favourite) The service was great considering it was a busy night there. Really like it and highly recommended

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a lovely Mediterranean restaurant, and it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I’ve had in a while. From the moment we arrived, the staff made a wonderful impression — they were polite, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they served. Our waiter took the time to explain each dish in detail, sharing insights about the ingredients and the traditional methods behind their preparation. His recommendations were spot-on and made the experience feel even more personal. The food itself was absolutely delicious. Each dish was rich in flavor and carried the fragrant aroma of Mediterranean spices. You could really taste the balance of herbs and seasonings that brought out the authenticity of the cuisine. The standout for me was the duck entrée — tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite was bursting with flavor, making it one of the highlights of the meal. The lamb main course was also well-cooked and full of character, though it was a little on the heavy side for my taste. Still, the overall quality of the food was outstanding, and you could tell that great care was put into every dish. The restaurant’s atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a modern open kitchen concept that allowed us to see the chefs at work. The kitchen area was spotless, which gave an extra sense of confidence in the food’s freshness. For those who prefer a quieter dining environment, I’d recommend coming early, around the time the restaurant opens, as it tends to get livelier later in the evening. Overall, this Mediterranean gem offers excellent service, flavorful dishes, and a cozy atmosphere — definitely worth a visit.
