Overview
Nomad Melbourne brings the acclaimed Sydney-born dining concept to a sleek converted warehouse on Flinders Lane, offering Melburnians a taste of bold, smoky, Mediterranean-meets-Middle Eastern cuisine with a distinctly Australian twist. Opened in 2021, the Melbourne iteration reflects the same commitment to seasonality, sustainability, and fire-based cooking that made the original a hit.
At the heart of Nomad is its open kitchen and wood-fired oven, where chefs turn out shareable plates packed with rich, earthy, and charred flavours. Signature dishes include house-made flatbread with Persian lamb shoulder, grilled prawns with harissa butter, and wood-roasted cauliflower with almond tarator. Ingredients are locally sourced wherever possible, with a spotlight on small-scale Australian producers.
The drinks program is equally considered, with a strong wine list focused on Australian and minimal-intervention labels, alongside inventive cocktails and house vermouth. A curated non-alcoholic selection ensures all diners feel catered for.
Nomad’s dining room is modern and moody—exposed brick, raw timber, soft lighting, and high ceilings create an urban-luxe feel that’s ideal for intimate dinners, group feasts, or special occasions. The open kitchen adds a buzz of theatre, without compromising the polished service and pace.
Nomad is a place to slow down, break bread, and share flavour. With its dynamic menu and design-driven fit-out, it’s a shining example of how fire, produce, and good company make for truly memorable dining.
