Nomad Food & Wine
Enjoy a unique fusion of italian, African & Nordic flavours
“Not fine dining - just fine food”.
Nomadic cuisine is a food-lover’s journey - it’s storytelling on a plate. We combine the techniques and philosophy of Italian cuisine with African flavors and Nordic influences, respecting our owner’s Paco’s rich culinary past and love for food.
In Nomad everyone is welcome.
We are a family friendly restaurant - for our youngest customer’s we offer their own menu.
From our head chef and owner, Paco
“Nomadic cuisine is about taking the best foods, ingredients, techniques and flavors of different cultures, from the South to the North, and fusing them into something completely new. I grew up between two cultures and two food traditions, the Senegalese and the Italian. My roots are in Dakar, Senegal, but I trained as a chef in one of the top culinary schools of Italy, Alma scuola di Alta Cucina Italiana in Colorno (Parma)/ Italy. For the past 12 years I have been living and cooking mostly in Finland, taking in Nordic tastes and influences, as well as consulting restaurants around the world.
Nomad Food & Wine is where I express my life-long culinary journey through food: using everything I’ve learned from the art and history of Italian cuisine but mixing in influences from the places I’ve lived in and travelled through, from Africa to the Nordics. Each dish at Nomad tells a story and gives you a taste of somewhere you’ve never been before.”
Our Zero Waste philosophy
“At Nomad, we believe that great taste can be made with zero waste. We use the best ingredients available and affordable to us and put a lot of energy into designing a menu where they can be used in full. If some parts of meat, fish or vegetables aren’t needed for a dish, they can be used to make something else. The way we prepare, cut, cook, marinate and conserve our ingredients all aim at creating zero waste. We also prepare food as it is ordered during service, not beforehand, so there is no extra waste from unnecessary prepping. In Nomad cuisine, nothing gets wasted, everything gets transformed.”
We hope you have a good time with us!
