    I’m a fan. Lunch. Pre-theater. Post-theater. Expertly prepared and fresh raw bar (no bits of shell floating in oysters). I’ve done beef all ways and it’s delish, from the tartare to the entrecotè to a burger that is top 3 in my London Burger Quest. My wife is a pescatarian and is thumbs up all the way. The vibe is always on, the service is spot-on, and this is my go-to if I’m overwhelmed st finding the “new thing” in London. Sometimes the familiar can be your routine extraordinary, and that’s a good thing. And did I say the prices were reasonable by London or New York standards?

    What a fabulous, buzzy place. A few simple but classy food options from the kitchen shared with restaurant Levan next door, and a fantastic drinks menu ranging from mezcal to a handful of well-chosen organic/biodynamic wines by the glass, all served by a really friendly team. Couldn't ask for much more

    We chose to eat at NoMad prior to taking in a show in the west end. The meal was fantastic, staff attentive and if we had to criticise, we would say the alcohol was slightly overpriced. Would we return, absolutely

    A truly five star experience! Staff were flawless, the afternoon tea was a delight; the sandwiches and pastries were very good. We didn’t realise one could ask for more sandwiches, otherwise we would have attended with more of an appetite! Coffee (decaf available) was offered as an alternative to tea which was appreciated.
