Nomono Utrecht

Restaurant with best sound system in town

"Enjoy some of the best music while devouring one of their small platters & drinking the best wines of our city. Ready to immerse in Nomono's laidback vibe?"

You wouldn't expect one of the best sound systems in the city in a restaurant, would you? It is true, though, restaurant and listening bar (as they call it) Nomono is home to a state-of-the-art PA, on which you can enjoy some of the best music while devouring one of their small platters while drinking the best wines our city has to offer.

They regularly host DJs playing their favourite tunes on the system, as well as live music sessions in an intimate setting. While the concept of a listening bar is definitely not new, what sets Nomono apart is the laidback, unpretentious vibe, something quite unique for a place like this.

Nomono is located in Vechtclub XL, one of the best-known creative hubs in the city, which is also home to brewpub the Kromme Haring and outdoor event space Beton-T.
