Our dear guests...
Michael York is just one of globally known personalities who has, in 1994, wondered the streets of Zagreb determined to find our restaurant. The Paul Winter Consort band took our sandwiches prepared with a homemade bread and tempeh with them back to the States. Our cakes free of sugar, eggs and milk have travelled all the way to California, to an American woman who was so fascinated by our restaurant.
One of our dearest guests was David Byrne, whose music marked our lives, and we were happy to discover that we share the same ideas about nutrition. We have also prepared meals for Duran Duran, Shakira and many others, but foreign celebrities are not the only people worth mentioning. Our highly esteemed prima-ballerina Almira Osmanović has said: „I love the restaurant because everything there is brilliant. My stomach brought me here. And a day after my first visit I have decided that I would like to eat only there, and not in any other restaurant. I have inquired about the fantastic chef, and was introduced to Tvrtko. His youthfulness fascinated me. And then I started learning more about macrobiotics by attending the School of cooking and started preparing food in the same manner at home. Everything here is delicious, flavours have attracted me to this place, and everything is healthy. And I have never seen a meal to be repeated on the menu. And I know that since I visit Nova quite often.”
And today, apart from many businessmen, our visitors are also young actors, singers and other artists, and Edo Maajka has said about the restaurant: „Since I am a real emotional person, as a consequence I have had problems with my stomach, and had to introduce changes into my nutrition. First meals I tried were so-so, but as the time went by, I became an addict. The Nova restaurant is my favourite restaurant since people are so positive, and I have made friends with some waiters and chefs. What is important is that as a chef, I have seen so many chefs who did not enjoy what they were doing, and here I know that I am eating meals that are prepared with love. I do not know what else to say, except that I am an addict… soups are amazing, and every time I finish my meal, I feel an urge to run to the kitchen and kiss the chef…”
