Culinary Director/Proprietor Demetri Malki, who transformed the former Upper Montclair Train Station into De Novo European Pub, an inviting space perfect for a quick drink or well-priced meal, has recently expanded his regular menu, introduced happy hour specials, and launched lunch service.
Mr. Malki gained a loyal following with his previous ventures in Montclair, Table 8 and D’metri’s. De Novo is his largest and most ambitious venture to date.
“So many of my former customers (who I now refer to as family) followed me here,” shares Mr. Malki. “I’m grateful for their continuous and loyal support. Owning a restaurant that serves as a warm gathering place for the community has been my dream for a long time.”
Under Mr. Malki’s culinary direction, De Novo’s eclectic contemporary pub menu focuses on quality and value: A cocktail & quick bite after getting off the train… A place for the family to enjoy a meal… A night out with friends… A venue for celebration or business event.
From small plates and signature flatbreads to homemade pastas, seasonal entrées, and an exciting catering menu, De Novo is designed to meet the needs – and culinary pleasures of its varied clientele.
Whether seated at the bar or a communal table, guests can now also enjoy happy hour specials every Monday through Friday, 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Highlights include beer in bottles and cans for $3.00; drafts for $4.00; house wines for $5.00; an assortment of cocktails for $6.00; and pitchers of sangria for $20.00. Happy hour menu favorites include BBQ ribs, hot wings, and flatbreads for $8.00… De Novo’s bar is open daily until 1:30 a.m.
De Novo is now also open for lunch. The kitchen will be serving Monday through Thursday from 12:00 noon – 10:00 p.m. and Friday & Saturday from 12:00 noon – 1:00 a.m. On Sunday’s, the kitchen is open from 4:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
De Novo European Pub is located at 275 Bellevue Avenue, Upper Montclair, New Jersey. Free parking spaces are reserved for De Novo customers only in the lot at the intersection of Bellevue and North Mountain Avenues.
