Nova

Nova is a Michelin-starred restaurant situated in the heart of Ourense, Spain, dedicated to the concept of 'cocina de raíces' or 'cuisine of roots.' This philosophy honors traditional culinary heritage by crafting dishes that emphasize the distinct qualities of each ingredient, prioritizing freshness and sustainability. The kitchen sources seasonal products from the local environment and nearby coast, ensuring that its menus evolve weekly to capture the fleeting nature of available produce. Offering three tasting menus with eight to thirteen courses, Nova presents a progression from appetizers and starters to fish, meat, cheese, pre-desserts, and desserts, carefully designed to express its culinary heritage through contemporary interpretation. Since receiving its Michelin star in 2015, the restaurant also provides wine pairings to complement the tasting experience. Nova fosters a unique dialogue between gastronomy and art by hosting artist exhibitions within its space, enhancing the guest experience with a blend of rigorous technique and deep respect for regional traditions.
