INCREDIBLE! Yesterday we went to this beautiful and delicious restaurant. First we got some non alcoholic drinks, tasted good :) after it we got a welcome dish! Also magnifique, really good balance in flavour and texture. Also the presentation was also very beautiful. I really enjoyed every bite during this dinner. I have a really good taste for different flavours and also I am very sensitive to colors and the way it looked. So beautiful and stunny. Really well surprised 🥹🥹🙏🏽🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 a lot of nature elements in the dishes , and I loveee nature as well🥹🍂💚the fish in the second dish was absolutely amazing, outside the crunchiness 😱 For the main dish we got Hamachi, incredible fish as well, prepared in two different ways. Tasted like heaven. Also beautiful to look at. One of my favourite I think 🥹 but actually cannot choose. Later on we got the langoustine !!! Wauww what a fish meat , soo yummy , also so special with the “spek” in between likeee how do you do it!! Art on the outside but also incredible taste in the inside. Well deserved Michelin star ⭐!! We got another main dish with two different types of meat, pumpkin fudge and ravioli also with pumpkin. A lot of autumn colors on the plate and every element was just perfect. If you eat the meat together with the pumpkin fudge or with ravioli, it always tasted so good!!!🥹🤌🏼. For dessert we got witte chocolade met kiwibes!! Like wauw so fresh but exactly enough sweetness. Some butter milk (Karne melk) and also some basil and mint. Also some melon and cucumber garniture!! DELICIOUS, SPEECHLESS! 🤤🤤 (couldn’t take photo before the cucumber garniture but it looked also like a art piece again, so beautiful with the color green 💚💚 Afterwards I had the chance to speak to the chef himself!! Daniel Duijster Gomero!! Waaaa grateful for this beautiful dinner experience and thanks to you all at Novaela for the great service and food. Can’t wait to come back for another new experience!🙏🏽

Truly excellent, for me the best restaurant in the Netherlands and thoroughly deserving of their first Michelin star, of which I’m sure there will be more. Compliments to the chef and the accommodations he made for my wife who is pregnant and allergic to nuts, nothing felt like a substitution.

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. We have tried several renowned fine dining restaurants and the food was at least on that same level. Unfortunately, the wait between the courses was a little long (we stayed for about 5 hours), but every time the newly served course was worth the wait. We can definitely recommend for a special occasion.

From the moment we walked in, it was clear we were in good hands. The atmosphere was warm yet refined, and the welcome from the staff felt genuinely kind. Every interaction throughout the evening was thoughtful and attentive, without ever becoming too much. The food was simply excellent. Each dish was beautifully balanced and full of flavour. I have a number of dietary restrictions, and I was impressed by the way the kitchen handled them: not as a problem, but as something they were happy to accommodate with care. My husband opted for the wine pairing, which was an excellent choise. The selections were elegant and clearly chosen with knowledge and enthusiasm. What stood out most was the sense that everything from the plating to the pacing was done with love for the craft. There was no showiness, just sincerity. You could feel the passion behind the food. We had a wonderful evening. I wouldn’t change a thing and that’s a well deserved 10!

They offered us a special evening with warm welcoming and availability throughout the dinner. We truly enjoyed the tastes so interestingly combined and appreciated the whole atmosphere, also having the view of the kitchen with the dishes coming out ^^ So grateful to have met the chef in the end and heard its own word on the menu. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an experience to relax and enjoy some beautifully designed plates :) thanks for this memory

We had such a wonderful evening at Novaela! The food was full of flavor, the place felt really welcoming, and the service was amazing. Highly recommended!

An enchanting and delicious meal that was quite unexpected in the quaint town of Delft. We were fortunate to be seated at the table nearest the open kitchen and it was wonderful to watch Chef and his team at work. Their commitment and attention to every last detail was apparent. The food was somehow complex and yet uncomplicated and beautiful on the plate. Simply exquisite. I appreciated the locally sourced ingredients and thorough descriptions of each dish that were provided by the servers. I wish I could go back.

Amazingly talented chef(s) and great service. Not only is the food presentation beautiful but the flavours are very sophisticated and well balanced. Would defenitly recommend! Won't be long before they get their first Michelin star.
