Nomad Eatery

Pateras

What began 30 years ago, as a four month traveling trip, culminated in what is today, a menu designed to take you to many cuisines - The Mediterranean, Southeast Asia and Latin America - tied together by what a meandering, somewhat adventurous backpacker - a Nomad - would want to eat.
