Our guests are very different in many aspects. Some come every day, some come once a week, some come to celebrate special moments, and some (world travellers) cannot imagine being in Zagreb without coming by to Nova. Our guests differ in age, profession, gender, but they all share one common thing: they care about themselves and their health, they are dedicated to their vocations and they want to feel vibrant and full of energy!
We are happy to help them in their efforts to live better and take care of the environment. Our guests are our treasure because they make our atmosphere special… We are convinced that you are the part of our story…
The NOVA restaurant is definitely my favourite ‘diner’ in the town. It is a great place to meet people, and the Macroplate is a real nutritional treasure box taking care of all our daily needs for whole grains, vegetables, seaweed and everything else necessary for a healthy body.
Sometimes I finish my lunch with a cake, but always with a feeling that I have done something good for myself.
Natural and healthy is what attracts me. This is my lifestyle. I am one of those people whose life is like a race, and I do not have too much time to prepare healthy meals. That is why I am grateful that a place like the NOVA restaurant exists – a place where everything comes to a stop, at least for a short while. And the NOVA restaurant is not only a restaurant. On the contrary, it is a place where I can enjoy a healthy and delicious food, as well as learn something, feel or hear. Isn’t that the point of eating? To experience unknown natural tastes, to indulge in balanced and attractive meals and at the same time nurture the mind. And soon, one becomes aware that he/she is satisfied while eating, and even more satisfied hours later. After such a meal I have an enduring feeling of lightness and energy. I sincerely recommend this restaurant that has a unique impact on many levels of your health.
I have left Zagreb almost 20 years ago. However, I tend to visit Zagreb quite often. And one place I always return to with joy and happiness, as well as a great satisfaction, is the Nova restaurant. Why? There is no need for extensive explanations. NOVA is simply unique! It always awaits with a new and inspiring surprise of a special quality – perfect food that supports the easiness of my living, a warm smile, and cosy conversations in a harmonious ambiance. Simply a well-rounded story!
NOVA is one of the world’s best restaurants offering wholesome food that I know of.
NOVA is like my “other home” in Zagreb. And if I am running out of time, I always spare at least some time for a delicious lunch.
Macrobiotic nutrition, exercises, massages, seminars and lunch breaks in the NOVA restaurant are my life, and a corner table at the end of the restaurant is my oasis. I enjoy the food, but also spending time with the employees there, as well as other guests. I am happy in the NOVA restaurant.
I travel a lot. I also cook a lot and teach and work with food and try to stay open to new foods, flavors and ideas. I guess I am trying to say that I love food, healthy food specifically. Nine years ago, I enjoyed my first meal at Nova restaurant and thought it was some of the best vegan cuisine out there. My most recent to Zagreb had me back at the tables of Nova enjoying what is, hands down, the best vegan restaurant food in the world. Their dishes are elegantly presented and prepared; they are simple and exqusitely seasoned; they are deliciously balanced so the diner leaves the table feeling contented and satisfied. The salads were fresh, crisp and varied, with dressings that were rich and light at the same time, entrees were hearty and delicious without leaving you feeling heavy and stuffed. And the desserts? To die for... so decadently flavored and rich that it was hard to believe they were made with healthy ingredients. I can't wait to see what theses talented chefs come up with next!
„I have been a vegetarian for years, but during my pregnancy I have felt that a meal prepared according to the macrobiotic principles was something that I really enjoyed. And today, my daughter also delights in macrobiotic food. The NOVA restaurant is like our home. The food is as though I have made it at home, and what is really important for me is that I feel great half an hour after the meal… no bloatedness, no heartburn…
"This is absolutely the best cuisine in the world. I simply feel harmony between chefs, personnel and myself as a consumer. The food is impeccably chosen and prepared, and what is the most important is that it is prepared with a whole lot of love. I sincerely feel at home in the NOVA restaurant and always return to it with joy… and all of that thanks to the ambiance. All my compliments to chefs and personnel!"

As a true lover and promoter of sports, healthy food and positive living, I have found my nutritional retreat in the restaurant Nova. This is not just a place to eat, but a place where food means a lot more than that!
