NOMAD Sydney

NOMAD sits on Foster Street in Surry Hills, one of Sydney's most dining-obsessed inner-city suburbs. One of the city's most acclaimed restaurants, it's renowned for its wood-fired cooking, house-cured charcuterie and produce-driven, Mediterranean-and-Middle-Eastern-influenced menu — a genuine destination for serious food lovers.

The appeal is that combination of skilled, fire-driven cooking, an outstanding wine list and a buzzing, stylish dining room, all delivered with real craft. It's the kind of restaurant that's earned a reputation well beyond its neighbourhood, drawing diners from across the city for a special meal in the heart of Surry Hills.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 2,800 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners at a high level. Menus, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a sought-after, acclaimed restaurant books out well ahead, so it's essential to check current details and reserve a table directly as early as you can — particularly for a weekend dinner, a group or a special occasion, where booking is well worth the effort.
