NoMad London, the flagship establishment of the esteemed NoMad Hotels brand, is set to unveil its latest culinary creation, Twenty8 NoMad. This modern bistro draws inspiration from the iconic flavors of New York City.
Launching on Friday, May 9th, Twenty8 NoMad features a team of culinary experts, including renowned chef and NoMad culinary director Bryce Shuman, NoMad London’s Executive Chef Zak Gregoire, and Pastry Chef Martha Hernandez. Located in the heart of the luxurious 91-room hotel, opposite The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, this restaurant uniquely encapsulates the essence of authentic New York cuisine.
The name “Twenty8” pays tribute to both its New York and London counterparts; NoMad New York was situated on 28th Street in Manhattan, while NoMad London occupies 28 Bow Street, a site steeped in history. The restaurant’s design, crafted by the Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, fuses vintage palm court charm with a vibrant, playful atmosphere, featuring a warm wood-burning hearth as its centerpiece.
The decor highlights Brudnizki’s signature style, incorporating layers of greenery, textured elements, and a rattan design inspired by late 19th and early 20th-century palm courts. The earthy color palette of deep browns, rich greens, and spicy mustards creates an inviting setting that captivates guests with a touch of mystery.
Celebrating New York Cuisine
Executive Chef Zak Gregoire leads Twenty8 NoMad with a menu that showcases nostalgic New York dishes, reimagined with a modern twist. With a passion for the culinary arts cultivated through various NoMad hotel openings, Chef Gregoire emphasizes the interplay of familiar flavors with innovative concepts, drawing inspiration from classic French brasseries.
The menu includes ingredients sourced from Chef Bryce Shuman’s fond memories of Union Square Greenmarket and features signature dishes such as the NoMad Chicken paired with black truffles and foie gras, honoring the cherished recipes of NoMad New York. Guests can also expect dishes inspired by Chef Gregoire’s childhood in Nantucket, including a refined seafood tower.
Signature Cocktails and Wine Selection
Complementing the extraordinary cuisine is a cocktail menu expertly curated by bar legend Leo Robitschek. The Twenty8 Martini Menu invites guests to explore the evolution of the martini, featuring classics from the 1800s to contemporary interpretations. Alongside, the Modern New York Classics menu includes innovative twists on iconic drinks that have shaped New York’s cocktail scene.
The wine program, spearheaded by Wine Director Alessia Ferrarello, champions New York’s communal dining experience, featuring half-bottle carafes and a diverse selection of wines. Emphasizing provenance and a variety of unique vintages, the wine list showcases Nebbiolo, Ferrarello’s personal favorite.
