Nova Cafe - Dunedin

A nice cafe that is packed on weekends so either book or you may have to wait or come back. The food is very fresh and tasty and I can recommend the Nova Katsu burger which comes with fries. Just check the menu and the times they are served as we arrived at 1 pm and thought we could order the lunch but was only given the breakfast menu. It is in a great location on the Octagon, next to the Dunedin Gallery and cinema.

A nice chill vibe, if you want to get away from annoying loud rowdy students then this is the spot. Nice dessert place to end of a nice lovely dinner plus a cinema next to it, how convenient. Nice place to take your date. Quiet, intimate and good food. Customer service is spot on, they seem very nice and actually get to you on time and not leave you waiting for too long. I didnt like that weird sparkling water they served me though. Not for me but still give it a tryFood: 8/10Customer Service: 8/10

You can never really go wrong with Nova. Some of their food is a bit on the bland side though. Great place for a coffee and a quick bite. You can do better if you're after a full meal.

Set high above the Octagon is Nova, a cafe in Dunedin old city. Very friendly and welcoming, clean busy full and queues forming occasionally at the door. Exquisite porridge. Coffee ok Bacon and eggs etc well executed. Tea raised to a high art. Caring people. Prices a tad over the odds but it’s full. Slainte

I've been here a couple times and have found that I tended to enjoy the entrè and desserts more than I did the mains. This isn't to say the mains were bad, moreso that I tended to find the mains to be slightly underwhelming to my expectations. <br/ <br/ The ambience of the place is clean and crisp. Having it connected to the art gallery is also a plus as it gives it an added air of sophistication.
