| - I wasn't able to make it to try the Danforth location but when I heard that some of the former team who were the brains behind El Jefe in Port Credit had moved on to try a new casual dining endeavour I was jealous it was so far from home for me.
So colour me excited when they came back to Port Credit and brought a new Nomads for the 905 along with them. Boom!
I stopped in for lunch, as they're hours recently changed to accommodate lunches and was more than happy to see the place empty so that I could have my choice of seats. Ironically enough I took my favourite seat for one - the bar!
Contrary to other comments I really liked the design here. Yes it is black, but being an amateur hobby carpenter myself I really appreciated how the black was merely the canvas for several intricate wood displays and shelves and a gorgeous bar backed with neon and subway tile. My Fab5 design alarm was going off like crazy because I loved how this place turned out so much, even how they turned the front windows into useable booth space - YASSSSS She's on fire!
Now enough about the decor, let's chew the fat about the menu! Both of them actually, food and beverages. Safe to say looking at the Cocktail options at NOMADS that craft cocktails now have another home in Port Credit, making this one of the best strips in the 905 for proper mixed craft cocktails! I went for the Naked and Famous which was a refreshing summer time cocktail with Aperol, Mexcal, cherry liquor, and lime juice, all served in a coup glass (small martini), just enough tartness to match the sweet and blend the 1-2-3 punch of three kinds of booze.
I tried to discuss the economics of getting the bartender to just make a pitcher of this for me next time I was in and while a good idea it apparently violates Ontario liquor laws... blah blah blah.... awww shucks! It's ok I'll just have to come back and order 7 Naked and Famous' all on my own.... but then I might end up Naked and Infamous on CP24 soooo maybe just one at a time for now. But TLDR, it's an amazing cocktail and you should try it!
The food! I went with the Cubano, and THANK GOD! Finally a place that's doing it right with slow roasted pork sliced nice and thick. In the past year I've had a Cubano with pulled pork (yuck), another with peamale bacon (why) and a third with a sliced pork chop (SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE NOT EVEN TRYING NOW). Between the Yucca fries served with a Peruvian pepper sauce and the Cubano which was perfectly moist inside and crispy on the outside, I was stuffed, and happy!
Lots of places to visit in the world but if the cost of travel has you down, at least your mouth can do some globetrotting from the safety of NOMADS in Port Credit
