the nomad cafe

culinary art!. my wife and i went here on the recommendation of a friend and we were blown away from all the awesome. the food is probably the best quality that i've eaten in brevard. i also have agreatappreciation for any restaurant that lists the farms where its produce comes from. i had a pork dish from the rotating menu and i was astonished at how beautiful the presentation was and just as delighted at the taste. my wife also got the chocolate mousse for dessert, even though i tried to convince her to get something else. once again though, she was right and i was thrilled to be proven wrong. it's what god intended chocolate mousse to be!

poor food and abysmal customer service. went here twice. both visits the $20 vegan burger was served black on one side. both duck and brie sandwiches were bad, the first was old and dry, the second was served without any brie. both times we were served overcooked, dry, crunchy rice. i sent several emails to the owner. she claimed she never got them, yet once i left a review, she responded to it, saying she never got my emails, but actually replied to one of my original emails, meaning she lied. she said she'd get back to me. never did. i emailed her again yesterday and her reply was that she had inadequate information and could do nothing. this place used to begreatbut the newer owner is terrible and the quality had dropped.

the nomad cafe is a small restaurant located just outside of downtown melbourne. the exterior of the building features wall art and a cartoonish character as their signature logo. this is in contrast to the interior, which appears more formal. the food is featured "farm to table fresh", and the flavors certainly lived up to that. we enjoyed a fresh beet and fruit tower, and a flatbread featuring gooey cheese, apples, and meat. at my table, the entree which really exemplified the restaurant's quality was a shrimp dish which was one of their specials of the day. it was a hodgepodge of fresh vegetables, seasonings, and plenty of shrimp to enjoy. each flavor had a robust and unique flavor, but they synergized well to create a delicious dish. for the dessert i would recommend trying the chocolate mousse. overall service wasgreatand the food was enjoyable. if you are looking for somewhere new to try, this would be a good choice for you.

if you find quality of food important (i.e. organic, local, made from scratch) then i definitely recommend this place. i loved everything we got: shrimp/steak fajitas, a chicken dish, and the fresh catch of the day. lamb kabob and beet pile as an appetizer.greatfood and decent prices for what you get. not a wonderful location ...right by a busy intersection.

1st visit. will be going back had the red snapper so good small place butgreatfood.greatservice.

outstanding, so good both my husband and i were so impressed with this dish. it does have a kick (spicy) and is a little messy - ask for extra napkins, but very very good, did i say how good this was!!!!

i had this, while very tasty, not enough seafood. i even took half home thinking maybe the bulk of seafood was in that half and it wasn't. this is good, but i wanted more seafood.

this was a very nice restaurant, small and quaint, about 12 -14 tables. prices aregreatfor the food and the presentation you get, actually expected it to be higher in price. first the good ... our food was delicious, everything a treat. our favorite was the dirty wings, a appetizer, outstanding dish,greattwist on a favorite, it is alittle spicy and a-little messy, but it will be my meal next time, we both loved it. my husband got the drunken fish and i the seafood burrito. both were good, but i probably will not get the burrito a second time, really wanted the "seafood", yet i felt there was very little seafood in it for the price, a lot of beans and rice, good flavor just too high a price for so very little seafood. my husband loved his drunken fish, it has agreattaste and was a nice thick piece of haddock. my sangria (home made) was alsogreatand the chips and salsa they served were some of the best i have ever had. cons - it was our anniversary and they said they would reserve us a table by the window, but did not and our waitress while nice didn't seem super knowledgable about the food, you could tell she was searching for responses, not a horrible thing, but i like a waiter or waitress who is familiar with what is being served. i will go again, the meals i saw being served looked fantastic, i truly feel you will not be disappointed.

absolutely incredible...experienced tastes never had...fresh...quality...diverse...something for everyone and agreatvalue...our new fab! try it!!! (no i don't work here haha)

agreatspot. we've eaten lunch and dinner here many times and every meal has been fantastic. the place has everything going against it - it is in a former gas station, the parking lot is a disaster and it is difficult to get to. the menu is about as eclectic as they come - if you can't find something you like you probably aren't hungry. the service is excellent and the owner is very involved. the prices are surprisingly low. the meals are served quickly. the place is very small, it is hard to imagine getting in for dinner without a reservation. this is one of my favorites.
