Cafe Novo , City Centre South

 
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.

I had a quick lunch here with a friend two weeks ago. She had a mojito to start with, but there was too much ice in it, and very little mint or lime. Both of us decided on the chicken burgers which were tasty but we were waiting about a half an hour for them. I got a smoothie to finish off. For €5.75 for a smoothie I was expecting something spectacular but it was as if they just poured a packaged innocent smoothie into a tall glass and voilà! Service wasn't the best, with wait staff just wandering around the empty café, trying to avoid eye contact with customers.

very disappointing, Service was always with a smile but a vacant one,one of the waitresses who unfortunately visited our table far too often was clueless. Couldn't get our drinks order right in fact it descended into farce, we asked her for 2 apple juices for our older kids but instead she quickly picked up the babies juice cup,whisked it away and filled it instead, no apple juices came for the older kids, the baby didn't need juice, just weird?? Ceasar salad was pretty bad, really cheap bought in mayo type dressing definitely not fresh no flavour at all other than blenders type plain mayo. lettuce was ice cold like it had been taken from the freezer. but the most amazing thing was what they did to my husbands bangers and mash!It takes a lot of 'pan frying' to make a sausage turn into a crispy crunchy pork scratching type thing(no meat left). really really bad.It looked like it had made a visit to the surface of the sun. It must have been left in a Deep Fat fryer for a really really long time. My husband complained and the waitress asked 'oh what else would you like from the menu? it took a while to explain he wanted the same thing just cooked properly. Truly awful. Nice dining room bright & airy . There is no need to give your hard earned money to this place when so many hotels and cafes do the same kind of menu 100% better and for less money

Made a booking for Sunday night (7.30pm). Turned up and it was clearly obvious that a booking wasn't needed. We were the only diners in the restaurant for about 20 minutes so the atmosphere wasn't the best. Had the scallops and spring roll for starters. The scallops were bland. Virtually no flavouring. The spring roll was quite tasty. I had the cod to follow, which was delicious. It came with a small side salad and chips which were in a little bucket thing. I generally find cod really tasteless but this was lovely. My friend had the seared salmon which she said was lovely, but wasn't really gone on the potato. We shared the chocolate brownie with ice cream. This was really nice, if a little heavy. Service was excellent. Would definitely go back.
