I celebrated a birthday meal here with a group of 7 friends, my second visit to the restaurant. The initial visit was impressionable enough so much so that I chose to return with guests, and on my return visit, had my expectations exceed.
We were slightly early for our reservation and as such we were offered to visit one of their private bars for drinks. After being escorted to our table once ready, the service was excellent and the food exceptional. I was personally disappointed that the menu had changed between December 2022 and May 2023, however, our waiter, who was extremely knowledgeable, recommended some alternatives that did not disappoint any of our varied pallets. I love food with strong flavours that surprise you with regard to their pairings, but still manage to complement each other. Nomad consistently ticked all my boxes from start to finish (across both visits) and exceeded my expectations.
A highly recommended experience - I will most certainly return.

An old police station, a hotel and a restaurant with lovely staff. What sounds like the beginning of a novel was my evening in the restaurant of the NoMad hotel. The hotel was opened in 2021, directly in Covent Garden's bow street and a building which has the history of an old police station. That's a nice history and in consequence a nice interior. But I was more interested in the food.
In the end, I had to realize that the NoMad restaurant is more than the food. It is astonishingly beautiful and the benches are so comfortable, you instinctly think about the amount of alcohol you should not exceed if you want to leave the cushions at some point in the future. But the venue has several bars and it shows. The bar menu is extensive but not overwhelming. And there's always a drink you want to try because of it's interesting ingredients. And they are delicious, I can tell you that.
The food menu also gives various delicious options. I was a little bit disappointed, as I was most interested in the chicken stuffed with foie gras which is a two person dish. Never heard of such a combination, although some people like to strangle me for wanting to try that.
And now it is time to shout out to the staff: you are heroes! From the beginning to the very end, I really felt like they are really happy to see me. Always there but never too ambitious and never arrogant. Just a nice experience of sincere hospitality. Excellent! And they even made it possible for me to have half a chicken. Which was simply extraordinary and delicious. Including the salad it was placed upon. Even the bread, which was served to start my appetite, was perfectly made. Slightly warm, fluffy on the inside with a perfect crust. And the dough smelled of herbs, not of yeast or other backing agents. Again: excellent!
And I cannot even complain about the prices. Right, it is cheaper to go to a pub and eat there. But that's not a fair comparison and there is the right time for either of these options. For me, my evening was worth every penny. And this restaurant is most definitely a hot tip for a romantic evening.
Well done indeed NoMad!

🍴 Dining under soaring glass ceilings while enjoying a delicious lunch? Yep... I've been eager to try the @thenomadhotel restaurant, and let me tell you, it was absolutely worth the wait! 🤤 Apart from their beautiful dining hall, the dishes couldn't be more aesthetically pleasing and exquisite. Here's a tip: try the WEEKDAY SET LUNCH! The restaurant now offers a 2-course set menu option that is more affordable (£37) and incredibly delicious. My friends ordered the Carrot tartare with sprouts and quail's egg as the first course, and the famous #Nomad chicken burger with gruyere and black #truffle 🤩 I opted for the Salmon, house-cured with smoked sour cream and sea vegetable tempura, and the Celeriac Miso-marinated with potato and truffle... both were also delicious!
Monica is one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She treated my father and I incredibly well and provided great service. We came back a second time weeks later and she even remembered our drinks! This is a great place to have dinner and the service is top notch. Great atmosphere as well.

Beautiful setting, great service, decent food but very expensive. Overall great experience for a special occasion but I definitely won’t be revisiting soon. We paid almost £130 for a quick brunch for 3 people and the food was very average.
Easy 5 star review. Service amazing. Food outstanding. She the sommelier was next level. Amazing wine list. Such a great London experience.
This is the sort of place for a lunchtime catch up with an old girl friend or daughter. The food is light in quantity and healthy as well as artistically presented. The days two course "menu" was fine for us. The staff were super friendly and attentive and it is a lovely healthy, clean, planty sort of place.
Price was £107 for the two of us (starter and main each , expresso, tap water - including 14.5% service so quite expensive but it feels quite exclusive and private). I wouldn't have taken my husband here as he would of complained about portion size and lack of meat!
Booked dinner for our 20th anniversary as seen in Traveller magazine's 'most romantic restaurants' and it exceeded expectations. Moody interior upon arrival and a gentleman greeted me, and gave me directions. The view over the atrium from the balcony is stunning. We had a delicious cocktail in the library before dinner and the staff were so helpful and professional. Our Meal was delicious in such an atmospheric space. Service was professional and friendly, Natalie was lovely and chased us down to refund the crudities that weren't meant to be charged. We were also given some chocolates to take home as a gift. We felt really looked after and will be returning. Thankyou for a special evening.
Amazing ambience and great service but unfortunately the food was just ok, nothing to rave about.
Amazing service - my wife found the white asparagus too salty, to the point of inedible. We said to the waitress and she got another one for us - we had the same issue but at this point it’s clearly us rather than the dish. My wife barely touched it, the waitress noticed and took it off the bill.
I booked this place to do my engagement. Francesca was very helpful in planning the details and went above and beyond. The food was very tasty and I thoroughly enjoy. As did my fiancé. The decor was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I will definately visit again. Especially great for a place to go for go for an occasion
