Twenty8 NoMad will be overseen by NoMad culinary director Bryce Shuman, NoMad London’s executive chef Zak Gregoire and pastry chef Martha Hernandez.
The name pays homage to the addresses of the upmarket hotel groups New York and London properties: NoMad New York was located on 28th Street in Manhattan and NoMad London is located at 28 Bow Street.
The new menu will offer ‘moments of New York nostalgia, brought to life with inspiration from the classic French Brasserie’.
Details are limited, but options will include flatbreads; Long Island razor clams; dry-aged fire-roasted Galician Blond steak; seared cod with fava beans and wild garlic fumet; seafood towers; and a prawn cocktail which ‘elevates a beloved classic to new heights’.
The restaurant will continue to serve NoMad Chicken, which is served with black truffles and foie gras.
The space - which is set inside a striking three-storey atrium - is being overhauled by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio.
The space will have a more relaxed and playful feel with key design details including a wood-burning hearth, layers of greenery and textured touches including rattan.
The color palette will lean into earthy tones, deep browns, lush greens and spicy mustards ‘grounding the space in nature while keeping things interesting with a hint of mystery’.
“Working under the roof of NoMad feels a lot like coming home. I am honoured to join my talented and inspiring colleagues here in London, to bring my slice of New York to one of the world’s most exciting culinary capitals,” says Shuman. “Nothing brings me more joy than cooking with the finest ingredients, with the greatest tools, and with the greatest people. It is electric.”
Andrew Zobler, the founder and CEO of NoMad’s owner Sydell Group, added: “It is with great pleasure that we set the heart of our beautiful hotel beating anew, with the opening of Twenty8 NoMad. Within it, we will revive the convivial spirit of the grand Victorian palm courts active during the era when 28 Bow Street was built. It is very much in the spirit of NoMad to view London carefully and fully through the eyes of a New Yorker.”
