Mike Rellergert

The Essentials At NoMad Bar Las Vegas, the work sits inside a dining scene that asks for polish, pace, and control. As Executive Chef, Mike Rellergert operates in that register: the food has to read cleanly, carry through a busy room, and still hold enough restraint to feel deliberate. His earlier Executive Chef role at NoMad Restaurant points to the same through-line, where the cooking stays composed even as the setting shifts between bar energy and a more intimate dining room. That balance shows up in the way Las Vegas itself is treated as a dining context rather than a backdrop. Brunch, in this framing, is not a fixed format but a point of contact between the classic sit-down meal and the city’s more social, high-activity settings. One stated aim makes that clear: “We wanted to create a brunch inspired by both the classic sit-down and party settings seen across the city.” The result is a kitchen approach that works with contrast rather than against it. At NoMad in Las Vegas, restraint sits beside abundance and elegance sits beside ease, with the food pitched to meet the room without getting busy. Rellergert’s cooking lands in that space: deliberate, approachable, and calibrated for a city where atmosphere is part of the plate.

Signature

NoMad’s Roast Chicken, the Truffle Chicken Sandwich, Paint It Black, and the Smoked Salmon tarte map the range of Mike Rellergert’s kitchen work at NoMad. Taken together, they show a cook moving between comfort and refinement without forcing the distinction. Roast chicken gives the table a clear center; the Truffle Chicken Sandwich leans into casual richness; Paint It Black suggests a more pointed visual register; and the Smoked Salmon tarte, topped with crème fraiche, trout roe, and everything crumble, brings structure through contrast in fat, salt, and texture. These dishes also clarify the operating style behind both his Executive Chef role at NoMad Bar Las Vegas and his earlier Executive Chef role at NoMad Restaurant. The food is polished, specific, and made for a room that wants occasion without fuss.

In Their Words “We wanted to create a brunch inspired by both the classic sit-down and party settings seen across the city.” “Here in Las Vegas, we've adapted it to be a family-style dish.”
