Edition Hospitality Pty Ltd – Brisbane QLD
Since opening its doors in ****, NOMAD has grown from a singular vision into one of edition's most celebrated restaurants, with venues in Sydney and Melbourne. We are thrilled to announce that the next chapter will unfold in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley in Summer ****, with the same ambition that has shaped every NOMAD before it.
NOMAD Brisbane will carry forward what has defined us from the beginning, generous hospitality, exceptional produce and dining experiences shaped by connection.
Inspired by journeys through Spain, Morocco and the Middle East, and grounded in a deep appreciation for Australia's extraordinary farmers, growers and producers, NOMAD has always drawn together influences from near and far. Its food is guided by a sense of place, celebrating local ingredients while embracing the flavours, techniques and traditions that have become synonymous with NOMAD.
While connected to its Sydney and Melbourne counterparts, NOMAD Brisbane will be distinctly its own. A restaurant that feels both familiar and new, shaped by its location and community, reflecting Brisbane's incredible dining culture and Queensland's world-class produce.
