Dumaguete is growing so much especially in terms of new places to eat! I recently had the opportunity to take photos of this lovely new place just beside the popular backpacking hostel, The Flying Fish.
Nom has a great interior combining industrial with wooden elements. There are indoor plants both by the doors and windows as well as on the individual tables. There is a nice and big round-shaped mirror near the main door which I really like; a unique touch. Native rugs. Plant baskets.
In the morning, the sun bathes the place with lovely warm sunshine that's just perfect with coffee and croissant. All you need for a great Instagram photo, I promise!
The place serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, coffee, drinks for happy hour and evening gatherings. They serve a number of healthy options for vegans and vegetarians and sweet fruity bowls they call as "Nom bowls." Great to look at and even better to eat! You can hear yourself say "nom nom nom" while you enjoy the sweetness of fresh fruit in your mouth.
They care for the environment so they use nothing disposable as much as possible. Food to takeout is ok for a minimal fee for the container (also not plastic). Wine bottles are used for service water which is great. It's something other food places have also been doing but it's great to know more are doing the same.
Something that I really appreciated here is how they allowed the tree to stay in the middle of it. Great design in adding a short concrete bench there. Win win. No trees were harmed and it even added a cute spot for short meet-ups.
When you're in town. Be sure to go here, I highly recommend. They are open everyday except Mondays from 7am -3pm and 5pm - 10pm.
Special thanks to Jane for the lights!
