Nômade, a Westport transplant known for globetrotting small plates and a buzzy cocktail program, has opened a 250-seat outpost in Boca Raton at 6030 SW 18th Street. The new restaurant pairs Moroccan-tinged design with shareable dishes pulled from the Mediterranean, North Africa and Latin America, and early service has leaned into late-night hours and a lively bar crowd.
Owners and design
The expansion is led by co-owners Mary C. Webster and Zsolt Viszkok, who translated Nômade’s Westport identity into a much larger Boca room. Webster, who also supervised many of the handcrafted finishes, described the project as intentionally transportive, as reported by Westport Journal. At roughly 250 seats, the Boca location is substantially larger than the Westport flagship.
Food and the bar
The menu leans on chef-driven small plates, including avocado crispy rice, Peking duck dumplings and spiced lamb, backed by a lineup of signature cocktails and private-label wines. Local coverage has highlighted the dining room’s Moroccan touches and curated finishes, and has sampled early menu items and drinks.

Who's in the kitchen
Executive Chef Zoltán Kovács is the menu architect behind Nômade’s global approach and oversaw the Boca adaptations. Photographs from the grand opening show David Núñez among the restaurant's leadership, and opening-night coverage photographed the team in the room; see images published by World Red Eye and reporting in the Palm Beach Post. The staffing hints at a blend of the original concept’s culinary DNA and local leadership.
Practical details
Nômade Boca lists its address, current hours and reservation policy on its official site. Reservations are by phone and walk-ins are accepted pending availability. The restaurant and local outlets list 6030 SW 18th St. as the location and provide hours and contact information, per nomadeboca.com and the Boca Raton Observer. The team has indicated it will move to reservations-only for particularly busy nights.
Where it fits
The arrival of a 250-seat, design-forward spot gives Boca a new late-night destination that complements the city's quieter, white-table rooms. Local coverage frames Nômade as part of a spring wave of openings that emphasize experiential, shareable dining in Palm Beach County, per Boca Magazine. For now, Nômade is staking a claim as Boca's passport to global small plates.
