LA NOUVELLE – French
A French bistro set inside a historic Victorian house on Bridge Street in St Augustine, with a wraparound porch and a garden patio for anyone who'd rather not sit indoors. Chef Michael Lugo brought in Marseille-born chef Matthieu Landillon, and the menu reads like a bistro should: burgundy escargots, French onion soup, steak tartare, warm chèvre salad, quiche Lorraine, duck confit, steak frites, house-made profiteroles to finish. Diners consistently praise a floor team that knows the food cold. Classic, unhurried, and genuinely French.
