About us

Nomad Sydney started in Surry Hills in 2013, and was quickly recognised as a restaurant that is convivial, relaxed and fun.  The space boasts a bustling dining room, with food focusing on cooking over fire, an excellent wine and cocktail list, and refined service.

In 2021, NOMAD Melbourne on Flinders Lane, a longed for dream for the Group, opened its doors. With a smaller dining room, and a strong nod to the Melbourne dining scene, this venue has quickly become a local CBD favourite.

Two years later, the group expanded to include Reine & La Rue in the iconic Cathedral Room at the corner of Queen and Collins in Melbourne’s CBD.

In 2025, we had the honour of becoming the new custodians of Florentino and its four sister venues — The Grill, Cellar Bar, Ombra, and Arlechin — an institution that has defined Melbourne’s dining culture for nearly a century.

We started with one restaurant in 2013. Since then, with a fire, and a restaurant that didn’t land as we intended, we have opened 6 restaurants.

 

What we have learnt and achieved over the last 12 years now puts us in a position to grow with a team who are committed to our vision of what it means to be in hospitality today.

 

For us that is sustainability – from our people to our produce, excellence and grace.
