Such a disappointment. The food is ranging from excellent to average, the dessert being the weakest in the offering. The 5 courses "surprise" menu is simply the same dish selection for starter, main and dessert than other menus, so it's a real let down. The pastas are really good, the pressed lamb too. A fair mention for the salmon soup,amuse-bouche and sorbet. So overall, the food is fine though it's probably better to stick with the à la carte menu. Now for the really annoying bits: The place is really noisy and the tables are too small with way too many. The staff looks very disorganized. There are simply too many tables, so forget about the fine dining the place tries to convey, it's unfortunately a total failure. The service was poor, polite but completely impersonal and careless (just pick up what can be from the micro tables please), making us feel the volume of customers is a finality which is confirmed when seeing customers accepted long after the kitchen is supposedly close. A Saturday evening, but still. We spent 2 hours and a half and lot of it was waiting for dishes particularly the main, 40 minutes wait. The restaurant should advertise what it actually is, a bistro, and focus on the customers rather than optimising R.O.I

We had the surprise menu with matching wines. The food was just ok, nothing special and some of the wines didn't really match the food. There was about an hour between the starters and the main course. The full 5-course menu took us over three hours which is way too much, especially when the food isn't even worth the wait. Had high hopes, now im bit disappointed...

One of the most exotic and delicious dishes I've ever tried in Finland. The chef were so considerate in how they modestly blend all the flavors and incorporate fusion dish from west Africa (Senegal), Italy and Scandinavia. The chef (Mike) who loves to bake muffins was the jewel of the crown. The staff were down to earth and made sure that guests had an awesome time during the visit. The place itself and as beautifully decorated, welcoming and homey. I cannot wait to go back and try the other dishes and hopefully get that unfiltered natural wine from Italy. Thank you for a pleasant experience Nomad Staff.

Unbelievable good! We had the vegan menu and everything was so tasty - sad that it is so far away from our home in Germany 😅 We will be back!

Love the ambience in this place! Friendly staff, good service and AWESOME food. Staff and kitchen very attentive about allergies, which I love. All my food was gluten free and flavour was not sacrificed. Highly recommend!

The food and people in this restaurant are superb! We were a group of 11 persons ordering 3 different 4 course menus during one dinner. All the menu components were thoughtfully chosen. Vegan, pasta and meat menus were all more than delicious. The restaurant owner also kept us nice company making us feel like home!

Very nice! Food was amazing, specially pasta, our both dishes were delicious, Staff was great, restaurant it self was beautiful and nicely decorated. We'll be here again!

(Translated by Google) Great food and service. Price quality ratio very good. Strong recommendation. I really liked 🤩 (Original) Loistava ruoka ja palvelu. Hinta laatu suhde erittäin hyvä. Vahva suositus. Tykättiin kovasti 🤩

Amazing service and hospitality during our meals. Got a free starter for us to try since they try to make small dishes from things laying in the kitchen that otherwise would be wasted and thrown out and it was absolutely delicious. The two courses we had was nothing like I had before and I don’t mean that lightly it was incredible and I absolutely recommend going here. Hopefully after corona the locals will get to know this new restaurant as well :)

The food was amazing, wine was good and desert outstanding!! On top of that the waiters were so attentive. The service was probably the best in town. They also made sure we did not have to fill our wine glases at any point ourselves. Thank you💕

Very friendly staff and great food made with great ingredients. The menu is one of a kind in Finland and I Highly recommend anyone to try. The starter soup and mini bread bites are the absolute best.

“The most important aspects of any restaurant is the environment we sit in not what’s on the plate! Because if you don’t feel comfortable in the environment you’re sitting you’ll never enjoy what’s on the plate. Number two is service. Number three is food.” Marco Pierre White said. If you look at the wall you will see that Nomad is that cozy little environment to give you that feeling!

Amazing food and very very friendly staff. Whole experience was pleasant and we enjoyed our dinner very much. The pasta was just right, lots of rich flavors and fresh ingredients. Dessert was just great, combined with a tasty cappuccino. Will definitely eat here again, hopefully soon. Visited for a lunch and can recommend it also! Cheap price, friendly staff, amazing food. 👍👍

Went there for a valentine's date today and it was absolutely perfect. Upon arrival every table had 2 beautiful roses on them as a compliment of the house. We ended up ordering the valentine's day special tasting menu, which was a bit more pricey (49€)than we wanted to spend at first, but let me tell you. Worth every single cent and then some. Trying to recall from memory to my best ability, there were 7 different delicious dishes and a welcome drink: -Bellini drink -Porcini soup(that alone I would've easily paid 49€ for, perfect taste) -Antipasti to share, good combination of meat, fish and different veggies. The grilled goat cheese piece with cloudberry was the absolute best. -Risotto with tiger shrimp (surprisingly big portion for a tasting menu) -Tuna dish(better description in the picture) -Veal inside a crunchy super tasty dumpling with mozarella sauce and reduced red wine sauce -Cucumber foam with some lemony icy thing. I usually hate cucumber smoothies etc, but they managed to make me like this! -Heart-shaped cake + ice cream (see picture) All in all, I was super satisfied with my experience there, the price was very much on point for the amount of delicious food we got, staff was very friendly and patient, food was epic and the waiting times were not bad at all considering they were fully booked. Would love to eat there again! Best regards Paco and the staff! Thank you! Could not have picked a better spot for this occasion. -Ivan

The best pasta in FINLAND! You can taste the freshess of selfmade pasta and great ingredients. Also great terrace and music

Amazing tasts, good quality! Thank you.

An absolutely lovely restaurant. A really refreshing and brave concept, and the chefs totally nailed it! Super friendly service, and overall a really pleasant atmosphere. I'm looking forward to going there again. Huge thanks, bravo! 👌

Nomad has a new and fresh kind of approach to fusion food. It is a lovely, warm restaurant and the soul of the place is the owner, extremely talented Paco. The food is so tasty, and I can especially recommend the self made fresh pasta and the Afro Bowls!

5/5

Main dishes are delicious and piece of art! I am a fan. I recommend choosing day's specialty.

All-around a great experience! We need more places like this where the food is amazing and the staff is great and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant for people who enjoy great food, drinks and a good time without the pretentious stuff!

One of the very few special experiences you will get in Finland. To me, dining is more than just good food, it's all about the experience, from the people, the decor, the atmosphere. Finally a place that does not gonna serve you a burger...!

Mini menu with meat was perfect.

Unbelievably delicious pasta. Literally propably the best pasta I’ve tasted in Finland. I’ve brought all my friends and colleagues here to taste their food, and everyone has had the same reaction as I have ❤️

Delicious and visually appealing courses. The staff was polite and friendly. For the 5 course tasting manu the wine package was very nice and special thanks for having available also non-alcoholic set of drinks that were fitted for each plate!

Vegan menu was overall good, but the main dish was a bit disappointing with ready-made Beyond Meat patty. Personally I would've preferred something less processed. The tasting menu was reasonably priced, but the list items are a bit on the expensive side. Also not many vegan options to choose from. Service was impeccable, very friendly and attentive.

Great vegan options also filling, cocktails are good, great service. I ordered 1 cocktail which is not in the menu but staff was patient and kind enough to make for me. Nice and cozy space.

Delicious pasta and starters, and amazing customer service from both servers and chef. Definitely recommend ✅️

A catastrophe... This dinner was a surprise organized by my students for my birthday. The wine was a disgrace and in spite of our comment 'it's sparkling and it shouldn't be' they didn't replace it. The food was very good but out of 5 people who had fish, 4 were really sick in the following hours and the following day. I tried to go back there to tell them but the restaurant was closed every time I went there. The waiters and waitresses were numerous but very inefficient although nice. It yook ages to get our dishes. Moreover, the price of this dinner was outrageous. So, we will never go back there when in Turku next year. Horrible experience

Everything was wonderful from a warm ambiance to a friendly staff. Food was tasty and we’ll definitely go again. I did not have the pleaseure (this time) to taste the glutenfree pasta, but next time I’m in Turku this is on my list :)

The food was an amazing experience. We got: - watermelon gazpacho (offered dish): lovely and refreshing - tuna cevice: melt in your mouth tuna with a mouthwatering marinade - anatra Caesar: the duck was a bit dry but still quite duck-tasting the sauces gave soul to the plate - zalouk: first time trying it and it's a 5/5 - sea bass: fresh, well cooked, lovely sauces pairing - caprese salad: really liked the dried tomato instead of the fresh one, pleasant change in flavour and texture - coconut crème brulé: now all other crème brulé will feel short in comparison, the coconut feels amazing. pineapple sorbet a bit too sweet though.

10/10 would recommend! Amazing food and *brilliant* service

(Translated by Google) Partly excellent food, poor waiters. My wife and I ate a tasting menu and the kids had a three course menu. We had three different waiters, one of whom knew the menu and didn’t behave like in a pizza place. The same cannot be said of the other two. The waiters were unfamiliar with the contents of the dishes and the wines and read the contents of the wines from the wine label on the back label of the bottles. The wines on offer were well below 10 degrees, so nothing tasted of them unless the wines were first warmed by hand. Food was served over the table by stretching. The meals were initially covered with a full table, but not the same amount as the dishes. The content of the tasting menu was varied. I didn't invent red yarn. Some of the dishes were excellent, some were mostly questionable specialty dishes. The initial "chef's greeting" was not the chef's greeting, but the first food on the tasting menu. All the pastas offered were excellent in power. So I recommend this restaurant instead of a tasting menu as a pasta restaurant for those who know how to choose their own wine and know how not to resent unscrupulous waiters. (Original) Osittain erinomainen ruoka, kehnot tarjoilijat. Söimme vaimoni kanssa maistelumenun ja lapsille oli kolmen ruokalajin menu. Meillä oli kolme eri tarjoilijaa, joista yksi tunsi ruokalistan eikä käyttäytynyt kuten pizzapaikassa. Kahdesta muusta ei voi sanoa samaa. Tarjoilijat eivät tunteneet ruokalajien sisältöä eivätkä viinejä ja lukivat viinipaketin viinien sisältöä pullojen takaetiketistä. Tarjotut viinit olivat reilusti alle 10-asteisia, joten niistä ei maistanut mitään, jos viinejä ei ensin lämmittänyt käsissä. Ruoat tarjottiin pöydän yli kurottamalla. Aterimia katettiin ruoan aluksi pöytä täyteen, mutta ei kuitenkaan ruokalajeja vastaava määrä. Maistelumenun sisältö oli vaihteleva. Punaista lankaa en siitä keksinyt. Osa ruokalajeista oli erinomaisia, osa lähinnä kysymyksiä herättäviä erikoisuutta tavoittelevia annoksia. Alun "kokin tervehdys" ei ollut kokin tervehdys, vaan maistelumenun ensimmäinen ruoka. Kaikki tarjotut pastat olivat vallan erinomaisia. Suosittelen siis tätä ravintolaa maistelumenun sijaan pastaravintolaksi heille, jotka osaavat itse valita viininsä ja osaavat olla pahoittamatta mieltään ammattitaidottomista tarjoilijoista.

(Translated by Google) Delicious food. There was plenty of room to sit for lunch. Last time at dinner, all the tables were full, and it took a really long time to get each dish. (Original) Herkullista ruokaa. Lounaalla oli hyvin tilaa istua. Edellisellä kerralla päivällisellä kaikki pöydät olivat täynnä, ja jokaisen ruokalajin saaminen kesti todella kauan.

(Translated by Google) The food is delicious, as in Italy with good level restaurants and portions of large, as well as in Italy. That is, very authentic and yet with a nice twist. Wine list good and pricing very moderate. Best Italian Restaurant in Finland, where I have so far visited. (Original) Ruoka herkullista, kuten Italiassa hyvän tason ravintoloissa ja annokset isoja, kuten myöskin Italiassa. Eli hyvin autenttista ja kuitenkin mukavalla twistillä. Viinilista hyvä ja hinnoittelu erittäin maltillista. Paras Italialainen ravintola Suomessa, jossa olen tähän mennessä käynyt.

(Translated by Google) Nice restaurant and good food with a nice little twist. I took a 3 course tasting menu and liked it. (Original) Mukava ravintola ja hyvää ruokaa kivalla pienellä twistillä.Otse otin 3 ruokalajin maistelumenun ja pidin siitä.

(Translated by Google) On the positive side, there was a nice, albeit somewhat delicate, service and the opportunity to take a 50/50 serving of a decent and well-seasoned salad. It is a pity that the pasta itself (bacon-garlic) suffered from a lack of both bacon and garlic and was pretty much past al dente. There was also little pepper or parmesan, and neither was offered. There is potential, but there is still a long way to go. (Original) Positiivista oli mukava vaikka hiukan aran oloinen palvelu ja mahdollisuus ottaa 50/50 annos kunnollisella ja hyvin maustetulla salaatilla. Sääli, että itse pasta (pekoni-valkosipuli) kärsi sekä pekonin että valkosipulin puutteesta ja oli aika paljon jo ohi al dentestä. Myöskään pippuria tai parmesaania ei juuri ollut, eikä kumpaakaan myöskään tarjottu. Paikalla on potentiaalia, mutta matkaa vielä on.

(Translated by Google) We ate Carbonara and seafood pasta for lunch, and both were absolutely silly good. Big recommendation for Nomad! (Original) Söimme lounaalla Carbonaran ja mereneläväpastan, ja molemmat olivat aivan typerän hyviä. Iso suositus Nomadille!

Great food and in addition Take away possibility

Excellent food, best pasta and brilliant service! Tasting menu was awesome 😋

Simply amazing food! Interesting & surprising fusion of different cuisines.

Had a lunch here with salmon and carbonara pastas. The pastas were clearly made of fresh ingredients and were full of flavor. The portion size is also large hence even a hungrier individual will be filled. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating. All in all a place worth a visit.

What a surprise. Original idea, good food, nice atmosphere

Absolutely delicious food! Loved every bit. From the pre-appetizer to the dessert! And the palette cleanser was so refreshing!! There was attention to detail and the food was presented well. Hands down One of the best meals ive had in a while! And the server was extremely polite and described our meals before serving them! ! Highly recommended and so glad we have such nice restaurants in Turku! =D

One star for trying, another for the tiramisu. We had an appallingly disappointing 5 course tasting menu. Most dishes were too salty, pasta was overdone (?! Unforgivable for a Mediterranean restaurant!), flavours were flat. All dishes had unnecessary elements thrown in mostly for looks, not because they had anything to do with the flavours. The menu also failed in telling a story. The dishes didn't flow together, and they weren't consistent in quality (it's curious that the cucumber palate cleanser was the best of the bunch instead of the, say, flank steak). African flavours were nowhere to be found, only present in the decor and soundtrack. Nor was the cuisine Italian, because Italians can do amazing things with only a few high-quality ingredients. This place throws things together and tops everything off with herb oil, parsley and salt. Also heard a microwave chime once – a sound I don't really want to hear in a professional kitchen.

The best service ever, got to try some chef's compliments as well. Recommended :)

Really good food, friendly service and interesting menu.

Not worth the wait. From ordering it took nearly 1h to get even drinks to table. We had a group of 8 persons (4 kids). Adults ordered 5 course tasting menu with wine menu. In 2h mark we had gotten only second dish and kids were totally done already. No communication from the restaurant side why the delay. Later owner/manager explained that 6-8PM is a difficult time for them and we arrived 730PM. Waitress could have told us on the expected wait so that we could have ordered differently. It took nearly 3h to get out from the restaurant without any delay from our side. When total invoice is well over 200€ from 2 adults and 2 kids you'd expect good food and decent service, but now it was super slow, some dishes were grossly overcooked and some had been waiting for too long (my dessert icecream was mostly a pond of molten cream when I got that). In general food was OK, but just OK, nothing more. Also the wine menu was served whenever, in worst case it came after I had eaten the dish where the wine was meant to be. I wish I could have given higher rating, but this is closer to two stars than four 😟 I hope all the best for the team, but will not be coming back.
