Is Nomads Worth It? Menu & Prices in Singapore
There is a campsite hiding in Seletar, and it serves brunch. Nomads is Singapore’s camping-themed cafe at The Oval — all canvas chairs, mess tins and fairy lights — with an all-day brunch menu where the Bigman’s Breakfast runs S$28++ and mains sit between S$23 and S$29.
Dishes arrive in camping mess tins, the truffle fries and tomyum seafood noodles included, and the drinks list stretches from morning coffee to happy-hour pints. Cafe hoppers can also compare the PS.Cafe menu for the polished garden-cafe alternative, or the Clovelly menu for another scenic brunch spot.
This guide covers the Nomads menu with prices, the dishes worth the trip to Seletar, happy-hour deals, and answers to common questions.
