    Min. 3 pax required for the 'feed me' menu which is definitely better value.They cure their own meat here so do not miss the housemade charcuterie.The foie gras n chicken liver parfait is also delish.

    Fantastic food in maybe the hippest vibe in Sydney. Zucchini flowers, lamb tartare, etc. all awesome.

    Everything here is really rich in flavor. Especially enjoyed the zucchini flowers, octopus with romesco sauce. Staff has good knowledge as well. Warmest recommendation.

    Service was very slow for lunch and we had to wait 50mins in between courses. The char-grilled lamb ribs with quince glaze are to die for and the lobster roll is bang for buck!

    Since you enter you have a very good vibe.They have very good service and the food is spectacular.We ordered the tasting menu. What you have to know is that many things fried and with bread.

    Very fancy and delicious food. I recommend the degustation menu so you get to try lots of small plates.

    Amazing selection of Australian wines. Some of the best Chardonnay’s I’ve tried. Food is a bit on the salty side.

    One of the desserts in Sydney. Take me back, I won't forget the moment. Melts in my mouth and I can't help but salivate looking at it.

    The venue has led a bawdy existence both as a gaming hall for the Navy and as a Chinese brothel. Now, the striking space has become the permanent abode for Nomad, the city’s very own cellar door. Read more

    Great service. Try the "feed me menu" if you can't be bothered making up your mind - they'll deliver you an 8 course feast for $65pp! The lamb rump was particularly incredible.

    For the price this place is truly excellent. The lamb neck is exquisite and I was very surprised with the rice bed. A must in the neighborhood.

    Nice and trendy space. Excellent service. Recommend the "Feed me" menu, but my favorite of the night was the bastourma beef with baba ghanoush.

    Save room for dessert. I repeat save room for dessert. Try to have two per person. It's that good.

    They took the foie gras and toast off the menu. This was the best thing they served. I went back for it and was crushed to find it gone. Everything else is great though.
