As soon as you enter Nomad, the smell of coffee and all sorts of sweet and savory temptations hits your nose. Eggs Benedict with home-pickled salmon, deliciously sweet pancakes with a vanilla and cheesecake cream and perfect portobello mushrooms on sourdough. The challenge here is deciding what to order: as its name suggests Nomad serves up a smorgasbord of dishes inspired by different cultures. The restaurant’s founders, Nico and Max, spent a lot of time traveling and gathering inspiration before opening up shop on Borsigstraße in Mitte. Brunch is served until 15h, but it’s the evening service where things really get interesting, with a five-course dinner served alongside matching cocktails. This all-day line up has allowed the restaurant to gain a solid following among locals since opening in September 2021.
Love and attention also goes into the design, from the contemporary interior to the charming ceramic plates, each of which is individually designed and shaped. Outside, the spacious seating area stretches along the entire front window, making it the perfect place for a coffee in the morning sun. Spending time at Nomad puts a smile on your face, not just because of the food and drink but the pleasant atmosphere and approachability and warmth of the staff. You’ll leave well-nourished and ready to bring the good vibes into the rest of your day.
