A journey from Dakar to Helsinki
Where African roots, Italian craftsmanship, and Nordic ingredients come together in a bold and evolving cuisine.
Short story
Nomad Food & Wine is a modern Afro-Italo-Nordic restaurant concept rooted in storytelling, seasonality, and bold cultural fusion. After successfully building and selling our Turku location, we are now fully focused on Helsinki, where we aim to refine the experience, strengthen our brand, and create a flagship destination. Helsinki allows us to concentrate our team, creativity, and resources into one strong, consistent vision. From here, Nomad becomes both a culinary destination and a platform for future international projects, especially connecting Finland and West Africa.
Nomad Food & Wine is a modern restaurant in Helsinki built on movement, identity, and cultural exchange.
Founded by chef Paco Ndiaye, Nomad brings together African roots, Italian techniques, and Nordic ingredients to create a cuisine that is both personal and evolving.
