Café Novo, a chic new international bar and brasserie opens it doors. This fun and flirty eatery will woo diners with a carefully selected menu that offers traditional favourites with a twist - making it the perfect brunch stop for peckish shoppers or evening dinner and drinks spot for city slickers. Conveniently located on Harry Street, just a few steps from Grafton Street, Café Novo offers informal style drop–in dining, whether you want to grab a modern take on a club sandwich or to simply sip on a cocktail. The décor has a distinctly retro feel, created with floor to ceiling concertina windows opening on to Clarendon Street, comfy brown leather chairs, vibrant orange sofas and a print homage to 50’s Americana adorning the wall. The menu was created by award-winning international chef John Wood, and consists of playful and nostalgically modern options that will have your mouth watering – but without your jaw dropping at the price. Café Novo’s wine list includes over 35 quality wines, all moderately priced, with something for every palate. The cocktails menu is sure to be a hit with fun and quirky cocktails such as ‘Create your own Mojito’ made with Bacardi, lime, fresh mint, white sugar and your choice of just about any fruit; the ‘Coco Chanel’ with Tanqueray gin, coffee liquor and heavy cream; or try the very patriotic ‘Blarney Stone’ made with Bushmills, Sambuca, Grand Marnier, cherry liquor, and twist of orange peel.
