About

Novo

Welcome to Novo, a captivating gem located at 726 Higuera St, San Luis Obispo, CA. This restaurant and event space marries contemporary New American cuisine with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a dinner for two, a lively group gathering, or an elegant event, Novo offers a delightful culinary experience that caters to all tastes and dietary preferences.

Why Novo Stands Out:

  • Diverse Menu: Novo shines with its range featuring pescatarian, vegan, and vegetarian options, ensuring every guest finds a dish that excites their palate. Highlights include dishes like green curry chicken and duck curry, showcasing vibrant flavors and beautiful presentations.
  • Ambiance: The outdoor patio is nothing short of magical, adorned with shimmering lights and equipped with heaters for cooler evenings. It’s an ideal setting for a romantic dinner or a casual meal with friends, all while enjoying the melodic sounds of nature—or the thrill of a game on the TV.
  • Exceptional Service: Customers rave about the attentive wait staff who create a lively yet comfortable dining environment. Individual experiences highlight their friendliness and responsiveness, ensuring that every visit is memorable.
  • Community-Focused: Novo embraces sustainability with compostable containers and plastic-free packaging, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility while serving exquisite meals.

As I sampled the offerings, the samosas stood out as possibly the best in town, delivering delightful textures and robust flavors. The beet and burrata and chocolate torte were equally impressive—both showcasing creative culinary pairings that delighted the senses.

Novo truly excels during peak nights like Thursday through Saturday, creating an unforgettable dining experience with its full bar and enticing happy hour specials. The blend of upscale casual dining with a community feel makes Novo a must-visit in San Luis Obispo, whether you're a local or just passing through.

In summary, Novo is not just a restaurant; it’s a culinary destination that redefines casual dining with an edge of sophistication. From its eclectic menu to its enchanting ambiance and committed service, Novo promises an experience that is flavorful, vibrant, and inviting. Don't just take my word for it—visit and discover the magic for yourself.
