Fantastic family restaurant in a beautiful setting - check out their amazing inner courtyard dining area covered with grapevines. Novi Svet offers a great selection of fish and seafood dishes. If you prefer to eat meat, or if you are a vegetarian, don't worry, they also have excellent options for carnivores and they are very accommodating to prepare vegetarian dishes. You have to try bakalar, a delicious, creamy, fish pate made out of cod. It's as smooth as butter and served with fresh bread. Various fish are always good including catch of the day, my favourite are branzino and shkarpena (škarpena). An old saying says a fish needs to swim three times: first in the sea, then in the oil, and finally in wine. A serving of Malvazija or Refosk wine will accompany the fish perfectly. I never have room for desert in this place, so unfortunately I can't give any recommendations on the sweet side of things. But based on the mains I am sure desserts must be equally delicious if you still have some room in your tummy.

We recently had a lovely dinner at Novi Svet, with our 2 teenager kids, during a 3-day stay in Maribor. We live by the beach and appreciate good quality seafood, and were looking for a local experience: Novi Svet was the perfect choice on both fronts. Nice atmosphere overall, we had dinner in the terrace, a nicely decorated and pleasant area, with a rooftop of vines. Great food quality and service. Generous portions. Had the Dalmatian Buzara as a starter to share, freshly prepared, excellent (see picture). I would also recommend the trio of squids. We were among the last ones to leave, and had the chance to spend some time with the owner, who told us about his passion for seafood and how he sources fresh seafood for his dishes. A great place to go in Maribor if you enjoy fresh seafood.

Looking for a good fish restaurant in Maribo, we followed the recommendation of a cab driver and ended up at Novi Svet. And we were not disappointed: the three-course fish menu was excellent. Mussels, giant shrimps, calamari, grilled fish, etc. And everything very fresh and very well prepared. The staff, including the host couple, was very friendly and accommodating. When it came to wine selection, we were first offered several wines to taste before making our choice. Although the house wine was very good, we finally chose a red Cabernet Sauvignon (EUR 26 a bottle), which tasted excellent. By the way, the restaurant has a very nice courtyard overgrown with grapes. If we should ever come near Maribo again, we will certainly pay Novi Svet a visit again.

So we read several reviews about the menu having 'changed' to screw tourists and I definitely was aggressive with the grumpy waiter about getting the 'old' one, but he insisted there was none, so we nearly left. But after deciding to stay, we were treated to a wonderful meal with a slightly unpleasant waiter. 600g of fresh grilled fish with a side for 25€, a starter for 10€ and 500ml of house wine for 6€-we admittedly weren't very hungry, but we left entirely stuffed! The fish was perfectly done, the place was full of locals, and the restaurant itself was cute if a bit kitschy. I even snuck a look at the Slovene menu and confirmed the prices were the same. Not the cheapest option in town, but not unreasonable and definitely not a tourist trap!

What a wonderful meal! The branzino was so delicious. Such a flavorful fish, grilled to perfection! A boney fish, but well well worth the effort. Our young son devoured the calamari and proudly proclaimed that the legs were his favorite 😂 The staff was incredibly welcoming, especially considering that we arrived 30 minutes before closing on a Sunday (we didn’t realize!!). They have a vine-covered atrium which is surrounded by roof-covered tables, and I can’t wait to dine there while it’s raining outside. Sounds like a great way to enjoy the winter months. Overall a wonderful experience and one worth your patronage, for sure.

Excellent food, excellent service, very affordable price even at a location not next to the sea, relax ambiance The fish platter taste great, and it is more than enough for two persons (appetisers, mussels squid heads and prawns stew, grilled trout with grilled and fried squid plus vege and potatoes), best restaurant ever for such price we are paying Note: The junction to the restaurant is currently under renovation but they left a small gap open from the barricade to pass through
