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!

What a great experience and meal. The sorbet palate cleanser before the main course and that bread were really wonderful touches. We will be back and thank you for the birthday dessert!

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!

I believe it was great and the rack of lamb was very good. For a good place to eat La Cocina is the place to go, thanks for the food and great service.
