Nômade Westport

We had a great time... My friends had been long time patrons of Tavern on Main, it's predecessor... I think they've done a great job of "opening up" the place. Service was good and the food was excellent. We'll be back..

First time here. Started off strong-water glasses filled and bread/butter? Placed on table. About 15 mins later someone came up and asked us if we wanted to order drinks. No introduction. No comments about the menu. We ordered drinks and he bought them to us. Nothing else was said. About 20 mins later we realize at this point we don't really have a waiter. We asked staff walking by if we can order and he said our waiter will be right with us. At that point drink guy who I later found out is the assistant manager (Danny) came back and inquired about our order. It came and we ate. As I'm finishing up my last bite he asks us if everything is fine sir...shouldn't you have asked that in the beginning of the meal or even the middle? Maybe I'm asking for too much? It was not busy. Nice ambiance. Snobby Westport people which is expected, but because of the layout and people being intentionally loud...we heard parts of conversations that weren't the nicest toward certain racial groups. The staff can't help what ppl say but at least tell them that's inappropriate maybe? Idk. Overall, I won't be back. If I'm paying $100+ for 1 alcoholic beverage, 1 frozen non alcoholic beverage and two simple entrees i want good service. Not to be ignored for a majority of my time there and have to ask "can we order?" Treat all patrons the same.

Came here to celebrate my 25th birthday! This restaurant is gorgeous, very relaxing feel and the staff is super professional and friendly. The prices are a little higher, but for the ambiance I think it was worth it. The food was delicious. I got the Steak Frites and would recommend. The portions were pretty good as well. If you get desert the crème brûlée and warm brownie was amazing! They also offer outdoor seating that is very pretty under twinkling lights. Would totally come back!

Recently ate at nomade in westport. It was my first time coming for lunch. The food was so so good. Very fresh. The service was great super quick which was greatly appreciated. There's indoor and outdoor seating aswell. Would defiently go back.

Another fabulous lunch here! Had to get the bahnmi again and this time I tried the pho. Both were just delicious! Love the richness to the Supercross, it hit the spot. The Bonnie was crunchy and delicious with fresh vegetables. Definitely memorable.

I would definitely recommend everybody come here at least once. The decor and ambience of this restaurant is absolutely beautiful. It feels like you are in a bohemian paradise. However, the food was just OK. I ordered the lamb and the lamb was lacking. There was barely any meat on the rack of lamb. However, the flavors were pretty OK. Desserts were where it was at!!! it was our birthday. We ordered the crème brûlée and the chocolate brownie/cake. They were both wonderful. Services great everybody was super friendly. I'm glad I went, but I don't think I would go again.

Esthetically pleasing, the decor gives you a feel of being in a hut or cave on an island. Conveniently located in Westport's downtown area, you can find plenty of street parking or parking in the lot across the way. Gets very busy so I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. The service was great and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. They have a variety of small plates to try from. We ordered the deviled eggs and pork belly bao buns. Both very delicious and the pork belly was cooked to perfection! An explosion of flavor in my mouth. Unfortunately, that momentum did not continue on to the entrees. I ordered the Caesar salad and if it weren't for the anchovies, there would be no flavor. The croutons could have used seasoning. We also ordered the salmon that came with noodles and broth. The salmon could have also used some seasoning to bring the dish together. What the entrees lacked, the desserts made up for it. The crème brûlée and apple tart were YUM! I would love to come back and try the rest of the menu.

Great food and service as well. Our food was fantastic and the portions were too! My chopped salad with shrimp was great.. crispy fresh with perfectly cooked shrimp. Our wait staff was very nice, professional. We'll be back !!

Bad service all around. Kept asking for things and they would take forever to bring them and then bring the wrong thing. Had an ice cream cake that they said they would cut and by the time we got it back it was melted. 3/4 of everyone's drinks came wrong and we didn't even have utensils. Probably not coming back.

I love the atmosphere here and the food definitely stands up to the hype. We got little picky appetizers and split everything, everything was very good! Highly recommend this establishment.

We had walked by this restaurant earlier in the summer and it was mobbed, which unfortunately prompted us to eat elsewhere. This time we called ahead. We had our choice to sit anywhere in the restaurant, and we chose the room with hanging baskets, as it was bright and cheery, but I almost prefer the other side to sit in for cozy dinners. We started our brunch with Fried Brie which was delicious crispy and light, with earthy Brie falling out on a bed of arugula and pistachio. I would have encrusted the breaded coating with pistachios instead of laying them on the plate. They seemed almost separate from the dish and not easy to eat when sharing. But wow, adding the fig spread was just heavenly. And they are a must as an appetizer! My croque madame was delicious through and through. Would have loved it if the egg wasn't broken, and more béchamel, but this with fries was a perfect Saturday afternoon lunch that fired on all cylinders. For dessert the coffee was exceptional and all four of us really enjoyed the crisp yet pillowy and sweet Beignets. The were delightfully buttery and delicate, with a side of hazelnut spread to dip or smear on top. A combination that is just unfailingly delicious. A great dining experience and a fun upscale vibe. I just wish there wasn't a relentlessly screaming newborn next us, that the parents did nothing to suppress. In fairness not the restaurants fault, but we will back for dinner, and you shouldn't hesitate to try Nomade out. Westport now has a new and appropriately modern yet comfortable hometown restaurant. Excited to try their dinner menu!

Just because the picture-perfect food and the decor are insta-worthy for the Instagram feed, Nomade puts the meh in "ethnic dishes in natural destinations like North Africa, Greece, Asia, Hungary, Spain, France, and the Mediterranean." The Nomade menu spans virtually most of the globe, logically culinary globalization should expand our palates, offering innovative and exciting flavors, highlighting the influence of different cultures on modern culinary trends but here nothing was interesting but tasteless: unappetizing Nomade House Salad-tricolor cherry tomato, cucumber ribbons, local arugula, lemon-honey vinaigrette; unsatisfying hand-cut fries; and ruined Nomade Banh Mi- spicy Miso Chashu Pork, Cucumber Yuzu Kosho, cilantro. Being hangry afterwards with the flavorless tiny portions, affecting my self-care with a bad, costly meal. I was excited to try the tasty culinary cross‐​pollination of Nomade but left mildly infuriated with uncaptivating pretty food with pretty decor. A-Graded Health Department Inspected hole-in-the-walls, dives, nothing fancy but darn good food is always preferable over Pinterest-designed, dreamy restaurant aesthetics with lousy, pretentious food.

Gorgeous place where we recently had lunch with my daughter and friends! Beautiful interior , lovely Mocktails and delicious food. I opted for the Impossible burger that came with fries and my friend and daughter they each had fish and chips. Highly recommended if you're in the area! Prompt service. Perfect place to grab lunch and checkout the shops after!

Beautiful addition to downtown Westport dining. So stylish and on point with all types of food constraints. Love the all day dining. Too many local places close after lunch so very happy Nomade stays open. It's a great refresh of the old Tavern on Main. Support your local businesses.

Loved the ambiance of this place. This was our first visit and we will certainly be back! Nice bar scene, several different dining areas to choose from. We had the Braised short rib and Halibut, both excellent. The short rib fell apart with the touch of a fork. We started with the Edamame Dumplings and the Octopus salad, both excellent as well.

The ice water is very good and the old bar has charm from the old days before this place opened. Some of the best water I have had. Am I in Vietnam with these baskets!? Ha ha. So cool. Like Saigon.

We had a great experience at Nomade the other day and really enjoyed our dinner there. The ambiance is really cool, and it felt like we had strolled in off the beach. We skipped boozy drinks and opted to start with the cheese plate. It was a little underwhelming visually but it was really delicious, especially paired with the fresh honey and fig jam that came on the plate. For dinner, we ordered the wagyu steak frites, which was among some of the best steak I've had. They could've added another slice of steak to the plate - it felt a little light portions wise for the price - but it was super delicious. The service was ok, a little bit slow considering it was earlier in the evening and not that crowded. Overall if you're looking for a great dinner in Westport, Nomade is worth a try!

Good small plates. Some of the mains were really lacking. Super uninspired flavors. Kinda bizarre since the vibe and some of the starters are so good and it seems like they'd knock anything they do out of the park. I think they're trying to do too much and then don't do anything great. The crispy rice dishes were really good - both the tuna and avocado. Fish was ok, Moroccan chicken was bland. Other chicken dish was bad. Pita was not very good. Bummer since I really wanted to like this place.

The interior design and overall thesis fits the surrounding area significantly better than Tavern on Main ever did but some of the choices feel forced. We arrived somewhat late, I don't recall exactly when but it was at an hour at which the kitchen was still open and serving a limited bar menu (totally fine). The bar was standing room only and incongruously club like. They kindly allowed us a table in the dining room but we were on our own for going up to the bar and ordering. This honestly had minimal negative impact on our experience but logistically, if you're going to carry on a late night menu and offer seats in the dining room, you should probably keep on a single server. I am aware of the general concept of world elements on the menu, the bar menu we ordered from was significantly more focused. I can't speak to the other culturally influenced dishes but we enjoyed the straightforward items we had-- a nicely done chicken liver mousse, bistro fries, a raw tuna tostada something or other and a vegetable dish. Cocktails were good. I had something with purple chicha in it. All in all, I feel this place is deserving of a second pass under more favorable conditions.

Food was mid service was mid some of the staff were nice but our server was a bit rude to us. Didn't enjoy our experience....if I were to recommend one dish we got it was the avocado truffle crispy rice the rest really just blah. Would I go again def not.

Very cool and interesting spot with rooms offsetting each other which kept the noise down. Bars in front and back to grab a cocktail beforehand. For apps i HIGHLY recommend the Spicy Tuna, Charred octopus and the home made butter for bread. Sauces for the Oysters were on point but the Oysters were just ok, not over the top like the rest. Cocktails and wine menu had lots to offer the varied palates we brought with us. Onece we were told we could substitute the Organic mushroom medley for french fries, we all 4 got the Wagyu steak and each was cooked to perfection. The Au Poivre sauce was exceptional!

I really liked the ambiance of this place, gives Tulum vibes with the decor. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating I would say a solid 5 star for service

Whether you are looking for a happy hour spot with phenomenal cocktails or a spot for a dinner date & night out with friends, Nomade is the place to go. With 3 areas fitting every ambiance type one may look for, there is an experience for everyone. The menu offers diverse options, and the food is tasty. Id recommend the Foam Me cocktail, or seek a custom drink from one of the mixologists. The appetizers are very tasty as well, but dont forget the chocolate Beignets which are, by far, the highlight of the menu!

I'd never been to Nomade and set a reservation for my Birthday brunch and I am so happy I did. The ambiance, food, drinks and service were spot on! We were fortunate to have a corner spot in the front. With continued service ensuring our drinks and food were to our liking. I enjoyed the Nomarita and Black Pear while my girls opted for unlimited brunch cocktails. We shared oysters, avocado truffle crispy rice, hamachi on crispy rice and shrimp and grits. All were DELICIOUS. I had the spicy poke bowl, exactly as I was craving and so fresh. We ended it with birthday beignets. What a wonderful experience and CANT WAIT TO RETURN.

Had a lovely time at Nomade. The food was good, not great. The bread basket was delicious with the pesto butter they include. The crispy rice and the octopus dish were decent. The avocado with the crispy rice tasted old and the fish was a little funky. If you're going to get the crispy rice I would go for the lobster option. The octopus dish was more sausage and potatoes than octopus. I just didn't feel those flavors worked well together. The price point was what you would expect for Westport. However I will definitely come back to give some more dishes a try and change my review accordingly.

Finally a good restaurant in Westport. Great calamari and mussels. Friendly service. Attractive setting.

The food here was amazing! We had great service, loved the ambiance, and enjoyed the drinks! The watermelon salad was especially yummy and the shrimp on the salad was cooked to perfection

My Husband, father and I came to this restaurant for the first time yesterday and we are so glad we did! The food, drinks, ambiance and service were all next level and we are looking forward to returning for dinner. We enjoyed the Caesar and goat cheese salads, the banana bread and fried Brie appetizers, the Croque Madame (with two eggs) and the fish & chips. The drinks were very well mixed and delicious and we felt really well taken care of by all of the staff! Truly a five star experience all around!

Great place to eat and have drinks Dana is the best bartender in Westport. Drinks were delicious.

I went to Nomade recently and I must say , it was a delight !! The staff were extremely polite and professional. I had a rsvp and was seated promptly and service was excellent. The place filled up quickly, but everyone handed it with ease. I had multiple wait staff attending to my table. That seemed to be the norm there. Everyone helped each other. The food was excellent and the wine list although short had enough that you can find something to satisfy your palate. Not to mention a full bar. I look forward to returning for dinner or drinks.

Second time here and better food and still good service! It wasn't too crowded which was nice, but still busy. Great cocktails and menu. We will be back.

Even Nomads have a favorite place to go out and eat!! Wow, what a beautiful spot. They took some time to reconstruct the old Tavern on Main and it shows. A bigger indoor bar and amazing outdoor bar, much more open dining room, and light colors, it's really stunning. You really have to see it to believe it. Let's be clear, the restaurant just opened so it's still smoothing some things out but all signs point to Nomade being a winner in a great location in downtown Westport. You must check out the outdoor (covered bar). It's amazing ( phot added). Attentive and friendly, great place to start an afternoon or evening. Interesting menu and the food was good, we started with tapas-like starters that were great to share. We did not see a dedicated bartender yet and we all agreed (there were four of us) that it showed a bit. Our next visit this week saw both bars well staffed by talented bartenders. There is some great seating in the indoor bar now too, we plan to check that out on our next visit. Management is great, a veteran known around Westport and beyond; Nomade is in good hands. Time to go visit this new place in Westport and help them build the 4 to 5-star restaurant it has all the markings of becoming. I know I'll be back and I look forward to upgrading this review with each visit (I'll start them at 4 stars* but with an asterix) they are new so keep checking back for updates. Strongly suggest reservations. NOTE: This is a brand-new launch. Support our local efforts to serve the community and go try Nomade. If you have suggestions to improve service, talk to the manager and help them settle in.

Very small portions. Non-traditional french onion soup and unusually flavored anchovies on the Caesar salad. Had the crab cakes, my stomach rebelled the next morning. Excellent presentation, attentive service, very nice ambiance.

Best meal I have had in CT!!!! Everything from drinks, to apps, to entree. Fantastic service, and busy, but with great noise control 10/10!!!!!

Twice the attitude half the talent. Food is overpriced for the quality they serve -- some of the items we ordered were overcooked, dry and were lacking in flavor. In retrospect, they should have been sent back. Our condescending and neglectful waiter took our order and was pretty much gone for the rest of the evening. I believed we crossed path with him on our way out. A cozy ambiance ruined by the poor quality of their dishes and a pretentious wait staff.

Excellent all the way around! This place is so cute, service was spot on and the food was outstanding! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

Crafted drinks brought to a higher level. Absolutely amazing!! We also had the fried Brie with fig marmalade and pistachios. The highlight was the drinks. Will be back!!!

Newcomer to Westport scene Nomade brings Mediterranean fusion vibe. The decor is inviting with bleached wood tables, cozy leather couches sort of like a Greek taverna come Peruvian hacienda. 2 bars and ample seating, some bar stool style bring out a casual yet sophisticated vibe. Menu has lots of familiar brunch dishes as well full on dinner entrees. We stopped by for drinks on late afternoon Sunday and shared a fried calamari (customized from salad with calamari) which was tasty. Will be back to try more of the menu as other brunch fair looked quite appetizing!

Nômade Westport, CT Nômade in Westport is an upscale restaurant located on Main Street downtown. "Welcome to a place where dining, exploration and design come together to create the getaway around the corner" Nômade offers an eclectic, varied cuisine including dishes from North Africa, Santorini, Asia, Hungary, Spain, France and the Mediterranean. The interior is beautiful and the food is top notch, using the highest quality fresh ingredients. My personal favorites are the Wagyu Steak Frites and Lomo Saltado. Nômade is a wonderful addition to the Westport scene. It's perfect for a good social time with friends or an intimate date night with your significant other. Do NOT sleep on this Westport gem!

Nice ambiance, with a modern yet somewhat bohemian vibe. Staff is friendly and efficient, but service comes across as somewhat haphazard--reaching over my plate to light a candle, for example. Food is solid, with tonight's highlight being the Hamachi Crudo. Charred Octopus was also quite good (albeit a tad heavy on oil and sausage), as was the Watermelon Bowl. The Vermicelli Noodle Bowl with Shrimp was a bit of a miss...somehow a cold noodle bowl with warm, under seasoned shrimp was underwhelming. Desserts were quite good, as was the expresso. Pricing, by post Covid standards, is reasonable for what's offered. Net, net: good enough to visit again, but not at the top of our short list for "fine dining"--more of a hang out/meet friends/casual dining spot.

Came here for dinner while in CT and im SO glad we did! The food was amazing! We got the spicy tuna to start and it was pretty good! I ordered the steak and fries (mainly because i wanted fries) and it was delicious! If fries don't come with your meal, definitely order some. I got the froze (frozen rose) to start then a cocktail and they were both delicious. Great reviews all around on the food and drinks. The atmosphere was great, not too loud. The restaurant is surprisingly big with an indoor and outdoor area. The decorations were super cute I couldn't stop looking around. The bathroom was clean but in an interesting location since you walk past a waitress station where they fill up drinks. Parking was easy as there is street parking but im sure on a Saturday night it might be more difficult to find a spot. Next time i want to try the escargot and fried brie. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Was my second time at Nomade last night and it did not disappoint. Last visit was for brunch so it was my first time for dinner. Had great drinks and delicious food. The escargot, tuna flatbread, and deviled eggs were amazing. Big shoutout to those homemade beignets. My gosh. Beautiful restaurant and excellent food. Will be back!

Wife and I tried Nômade. Three stars feels right. Nice multi room ambiance. Menu is obviously all over the place cuisine wise. Not fusion but just a sampling of classic dishes across Peru Morocco France Spain etc. starters of hamachi on crispy rice - too mushy, French onion soup special - the standout of the night, perfectly executed five stars, and then fried Brie - their take on a mozzerela stick alternative but I would have preferred baked brie. The jam and pistachio accoutrement was a nice touch. Entrees were the cavatelli special and the chicken pimenton classic Spanish dish. The chicken was hard to cut with the butter knife good flavor overall and the fettuccine was a nice foil to the cherry pepper sauce but this pimenton dish is much much better at Barcelona restaurant. It occurred to me that their concept didn't work to just provide variety into these different cuisines without either the dishes being excellent versions or interpreted somehow. This place felt like they're just pushing bistro food done in a juvenile way. I also didn't think this was worth $142 pre tip

Very strange experience, HORRIBLE hostess last night. I was so excited to try this place but came away feeling offended and very "meh" about the food overall. The location is wonderful and the menu looked very appealing. I called yesterday around 4:30 to ask if there was any availability for a table for 4. The hostess told me no, they were fully booked. I asked about the possibility of walking in and was told she couldn't say that we could have a table by the time we got there. I told her, "we are downtown and happen to be right outside. Is there anything available right now?" She literally HUNG UP ON ME. When we got inside, I told her that I've never been hung up on by a hostess before and she said there were six people ahead of me and she was very busy. For the record, the restaurant was completely empty except for 1 table. She told us repeatedly we could only stay until 6pm because the table was reserved. We heard this multiple times (and we were out by 5:30) but didn't need to be told this more than once, we understood and would have ordered even faster if our waitress had been more attentive. Food: the fried Brie was actually delicious, escargot was ok- it's much better at Rive on Riverside Ave. The entrees were terrible, they sounded amazing but the execution was pretty awful. I had the short ribs with pappardelle and the pasta was just a pile of goo that was stuck together, almost inedible. The short ribs were dry and the sauce was bland. It's pretty hard to screw up something that's normally divine. I loved the ambiance and with such a great menu, I would have been willing to give it another try but after the hostess being so rude, I won't be back.

Cool atmosphere, sitting on 2nd floor and modern interior. Excellent drinks and apps were really good. Escargot and other apps were well done. Service was pretty good, especially given it was a Friday night. But the main dishes were disappointing. My pork chop was very dry. My wife's halibut was ok but needed a bit of salt and pepper to make it better. The couple we were with weren't overly impressed with their main dishes. Limited dessert menu. As another reviewer mentioned, if you're looking for ambience, bar, drinks & apps, this may be the place for you. Otherwise, you can do better elsewhere.

Food, service and ambiance were lovely. Really enjoyed the organic orange wine, crab cake, bao bun, salad and tuna crispy rice. First time here, stumbled upon it after some shopping and will definitely be back!

First time here and loved it. Beautifully decorated interior with multiple hanging basket lights. There are two bars: one inside and one "outside". The outside one is enclosed under a glass atrium actually but it feels like you're outside. Drinks are generous, staff is friendly and happy. Owner is engaged and very nice. Food is good, vibe is great. What more could you ask for? Put Nomade on your Westport bucket list.

New, beautiful dining experience in Westport CT. Absolutely gorgeous restaurant and amazing food. The restaurant is located on Main Street, parking has always been easy for me as there is street parking and a lot. The decor is earth tones, with Tulum vibes. It's a spacious restaurant with an outdoor terrace, main dining room and when you walk in a lounge bar area. I've tried the escargot and octopus both were delicious. The pork shoulder is a big hit. The drinks are very good as well my favorite that the bartender Andres makes is with mezcal. The owner is very gracious and greets his patrons. If you are in the area or want a staycation date night definitely give Nomade a try you wont be disappointed.

My first time there and had a great dining experience. Service is exceptional and friendly. Atmosphere is also very comfortable. Food is also great. Looking forward to dining here again.
