About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
La Nouvelle is the next story in our culinary journey by Michael Lugo. This opportunity to bring French Nouveau cuisine to our city has us so excited. Bringing to the helm Matthieu Landillon from the coastal city of Marseille, La Nouvelle allows us to explore classic French Bistro fare with an elevated edge. The atmosphere will lead you to the streets of Paris without leaving St. Augustine.

    A chef does not criticize a recipe; all palettes are different. Our appetizers were unique but not bad. In particular, the pate was unusual but complimented well by the remoulade sauce. The same can not be said for our entrees. As a typical server, ours kept pushing for the more expensive options but my wife and I selected the filet of beef, cognac peppercorn sauce, pommes aligot. The potatoes were quite good but the beef no so much. Just after our entrees were delivered, we had multiple people ask how was the steak. We never saw anyone again for over 20 minutes. A little over half way through my steak, it became like sawing though a tree branch. Inedible grizzle and sinew. Certainly not filet of beef. When our server finally showed up, she never said a word about the pile of inedible mystery meat. Just scooped it up and walked away. Another 10 minutes and she returns with a dessert menu. No thanks; just a check so we can go someplace else to eat. Just an opinion but one would think for $200 we could have gotten better food and service at any number of other establishments.

    Like an amazing bistro in Paris. Shared 3 Hors d’Oeuvres - they were all delicious! 4 of us each had our own entrees- Mussels too voluminous to eat -should be shared as appetizer for 4 or entree for 2! Delicious!! Pasta sausage special had amazing sausage! Bronzino was ephemeral…delicate & flavorful- fish perfection. Ahhh…Duck confit was perfection! desserts- L’orange is a must order although the profiteroles were a delicious classic!! It was all Parisian perfect! 😘

    We are so happy to find this incredible restaurant! Food was very flavorful, service friendly and atmosphere is relaxing and quiet. Tables are far enough apart that it is comfortable to dine. We will be back and soon!
