He found this restaurant and I was so excited to try it! We both ordered the same dinner plate which was yellow rice and beans, collard greens, sweet plantains, and fried whiting. It was delicious, the collard greens were a little spicy which we love (meatless), the rice and beans were fluffy and mildly seasoned, the fried fish was perfect not too salty or hard it was meaty and flavorful! Let's touch on the service. As soon as I entered I was greeted by the owner. She kept me up to date on the status of my order and was very polite. To add to this experience, the inside appearance is spotless and clean which is a plus for me. Give it a try and support local businesses, you won't be disappointed!

The jerk chicken is amazing, very freshly made on grill outside and let me say even without the sauce it's very flavorful and smoked so well, plus it's still maintained it's juiciness and tenderness, which hard to get perfect on chicken, but here it nails it. The sauce itself is Smokey, sweet and tangy, definitely adds and tasted great on the rice as well. Potato salad, I thought was alright not overkilled on mayo and many chucks of potatoes while keeping the peppers to min. Mac and cheese was okay, and the rice and beans were the same, great, but not amazing like chicken by a mile.

Which is the going price for most restaurants. I won't go back again as it isn't as spicy as I thought the food was dry the prices they don't quote you what they are they up them because they said the prices are not the prices on the menu so that doesn't help me as a customer to decide what I want to eat the place needs more tables.

Cafe De Novo sells "Jamaican & American" food. You can get a burger anywhere, so I don't see why you would order that here. While I don't know much about Jamaican food, I have had jerk chicken before so that's what I ordered. A small portion cost $6.50 and came with 3 pieces of dark meat chicken, rice with beans and some fried plantains. At first bite, it was immediately obvious this was the best (and probably most authentic) jerk chicken I've ever had. The seasoning might be too spicy for some, but I think it was just right. You got a lot of heat without it being overwhelming. Rice and beans helped put out the fire. Service (at least during lunch) was similar to a pizza place. You order at the counter, and then your food is brought out to you. From the time we ordered, the food was in front of us about 5 minutes later. Unexpectedly, it was served on a normal ceramic plate with metal utensils. This makes me assume they offer more traditional table service later in the day. The lady behind the counter was very nice and smiley. She was clearly proud to be serving this food. I immediately felt like a valued customer. Cafe De Novo is a very welcomed addition to downtown Middletown.

The ambiance is beautiful and almost picture worthy it's just a whole vibe and wonderful to have something different.

Also we went at night and the food was dry-ish, plantains were not fresh and yammy as u love them. Oxtail was dryyyy. Yukka (for extra $2) was dryyy. From the meat options we got the best was chicken, chicken in my (super salty) soup was perfectly cooked. Grilled chicken was great too, juicy with crunchy skin. Beans were cooked perfectly. Too much rice in every plate and not enough beans though. I really do t know if during lunch time all that food was freshly cooked and juicy and just got dried up by dinner time. I might give it another chance if I am in the area and super hungry, cos it was generously served.
