    The best meal we ever had. The service was excellent. The quality, quantity and values were exceptional. My kids said it was the best meal they have ever had and already requested to come back soon. We had few starter plates and few sticks and tried the salmon and duck buns. Not to mention the amazing s’mores dessert which was the cherry on top of the cake as my daughter described

    I loved everything about my experience at The Nomad. Yes it’s expensive but it was worth it to have great service (attentive but not fussy) incredible cocktails, excellent wine, and food which was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic. And the dining room - just wow. Beautiful and such a lovely ambience. I think this is my new favourite place in London.
