Don’t miss Columbia’s Original “1905” Salad®, prepared tableside with our delicious, freshly-made dressing, a 100-year-old family recipe of fresh garlic, oregano, wine vinegar and Spanish extra virgin olive oil.

Be sure to sample a fine Spanish wine like Montecillo or Campillo. Relax in our courtyard or Mediterranean-style dining rooms, filled with hundreds of hand-painted tiles and Spanish-style fountains.

So we come to St. Augustine quite a few times … And I can say every time we visit this is the place we most want to come. Excellent food excellent service prices are great for the level of food that you are getting… Big portions. Only thing would be a suggestion to definitely definitely make reservations, especially during the busy times of the year .

I have been waiting to have the prime rib for some time. Well worth waiting for. Cooked at the right temperature. Everything on the plate was hot (sometimes restaurant sides cool aren’t hot when served). I thoroughly enjoyed it all.

We like this place for the food, staff, and atmosphere! Takes you back in time and it feels like you are in a speak easy from the 1920's. Food is always great, as well as the drinks! Alice, our server was helpful and attentive to our needs and the lack of ability to pick something on the menu with so many good choices!

About the restaurant

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.

Delicious cuisine well prepared. Wine lit well-cured and knowledgable staff. Not inexpensive but not over-the-top, either; quality isn’t inexpensive but quite worth it. Definitely a “ I’ll be sure to go back” on our list!

The food is adventurous and delicious. The service and atmosphere are a perfect match to the food quality. I wish they had full bar service, but they don’t. The space is tiny, but it never felt cramped or awkward. I would highly recommend!!
