Beau, a new wine bar and deli by the same group behind Nomad is set to open its doors on Reservoir Street on Surry Hills in the first half of 2022.
Coming off the heels of its Nomad Melbourne opening in late 2021, Nomad Group announced that they will also be opening a 100-seater wine bar and deli at 52 Reservoir Street, by the side of a private laneway and just a few blocks away from its flagship diner. The venue’s design is courtesy of Smart Design Studio and will feature a private rooftop for events, communal seating along a large, long central bar with banquette seating surrounding the bar’s perimeter.
Beau, short for Beaujolais, will feature manoush, which is a traditional flatbread with toppings commonly enjoyed across the Levantine. The classic manoush will be topped with za’atar – a savoury blend of thyme, oregano and/or marjoram which may also include sumac and toasted sesame seeds – delicately prepared by executive chef Jacqui Challinor and team.
Beau Deli will also offer choices of dips, pickles and marinated vegetable and manoush toppings like spiced Margra lamb shoulder and green chilli zhoug. The wine bar, on the other hand, will dish up some of NOMAD’s popular selections including housemade charcuterie, cheeses, along with a cold seafood bar.
Moreover, NOMAD Group’s beverage director, Ged Bellis said that the wine list will focus on Australian producers and experimental boutique wines on tap along with cuvées sourced from different parts of the globe.
In late 2019, Nomad Sydney was hit by fire forcing them to launch a temporary pop-up shop, “Up the Road”, whilst its Surry Hills premises on Foster Street was undergoing reconstruction. A bigger and better Nomad was reopened in October 2020.
“The NOMAD Group mission is to consistently create experiences that bring together great food, local produce, great wine and service, that is both friendly and professional in spaces that are immersive and make you want to stay. This is a space that we couldn’t say no to, we just don’t want to leave,” co-owner Rebecca Yazbek said.
“With our unique and shared challenges over the last two years, we have seen demand for our side projects grow and the support from our local community remain unwavering. Beau and Beau Deli is about serving the local community with everything they’ve asked for and loved over the last few years.”
Beau Deli will be open for breakfast and lunch whilst the Wine Bar will serve lunch and dinner.
