My favourite restaurant in Dalkey. Food is always consistently super, staff and owner so lovely and so kind to my little dog. Great value for money, highly recommend 👌

We had a complicated group of Vegan, Coeliac and Meat-lovers and wanted somewhere special to dine out and entertain family from the states. We took a chance on Nova having never been before and it exceeded expectations. The choice was there, the food was brilliant. The cocktails were memorable and we were so well looked after. We’ll be keeping Nova in our minds for future occasions and will be recommending to friends. Top notch.

I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to say something about this place! 😍😍😍
Went in with friends last night and loved the place straight away. The atmosphere is so nice and relaxed, just a really lovely place to sit and have a proper catch-up.
The drinks were SO good — Passion Fruit Mojito and I Pink I Love You. Both delicious! 🍹
We ordered Pil Pil Prawns, Salad, Fried Chicken Wings, Seafood Linguine and Fish & Chips… and somehow still had room for the Cheesecake 😂Everything was just so good. Like, every time another dish came out we were like, “oh wow, this is good too!” 😍And guess what? I didn’t take a single photo 😂 I was way too busy eating and chatting with my friend!
Definitely going back. There’s still loads I want to try, so I’ll be back for sure. ❤️

I loved everything. We ordered prawns in pil-pli sauce as a starter, followed by mussels (which were delicious—they had a coconut roquefort sauce that really enhanced the dish) and excellent seafood pasta.

Visited Ireland early August ( party of 8). Made reservations @ Nova and were blown away by the food and drinks. The service was top notch and the atmosphere was exceptional. We were so impressed, we ate here two nights in a row and had two of the best meals of our whole vacation. Well worth checking out !!

Arrived earlier than my reservation time and was accommodated without hesitation. The lobster thermidor was perfection, my partner devoured the chicken burger and the manager on duty was courteous, friendly and made our experience one to remember.
The place is bright and beautiful and the staff were exceptional. Cannot wait to visit again!

Food was good & staff friendly. I would note that even though they boast a brunch menu, they do not serve cocktails until 12pm.
