Overview
The team behind Surry Hills Mediterranean eatery Nomad is opening its second Sydney venue, with Beau on its way to Surry Hills next year. The new wine bar and deli will open just down the road from the original Nomad, hidden away on Reservoir Street, at the bottom of Foster Street.
Beau will operate as both a takeaway deli, open for breakfast and lunch, and a wine bar with a reserved but flavoursome menu and an expansive drinks list.
At the deli, Nomad's Mediterranean menu has been reimagined as a classic array of charcuterie and takeaway eats. Here you'll find dips, pickles and marinated vegetables primarily produced in-house, but the hero is the manoush, a traditional Levantine flatbread topped with Nomad's homemade za'atar, spiced Margra lamb shoulder or green chilli zhoug.
The 50-seat wine bar and restaurant, open for both lunch and dinner, will offer a constantly changing selection of wines accompanied by a bar snack version of the Nomad menu.
Expect meats and cheeses, plus a cold seafood bar showcasing fresh Australian produce pulled from the sea. While the focus of the drinks menu at Beau will be on local wines, interesting drops from across the globe will also be on hand and a rotating selection of experimental and independent wines will be available on-tap.
The team
The bar will sit alongside a private laneway and will be set around a long central bar with banquet seating around its perimeter. Those looking for a unique spot for a private event will also be able to book out Beau's rooftop event space.
"The Nomad Group mission is to consistently create experiences that bring together great food, local produce, great wine and service," says co-owner Rebecca Yazbek. "Beau and Beau Deli is about serving the local community with everything they've asked for and loved over the last few years."
Beau is the second new venue the hospitality group has announced this year, with Nomad set to expand into Melbourne.
Nomad Melbourne is preparing to open next week. The restaurant is opening from Monday, November 15 in the former CBD digs of longstanding institution Ezard.
