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!!

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!

Spent three days in St Augustiine and ate at three different fine dining establishments. By far, Old City House surpassed them all. Excellent restaurant on every level. The filet and chicken were cooked perfectly. The presentation and service were outstanding. The waiter was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive to detail. Can only say good things about the experience. One word of advice: if you want to visit here, get a reservation. Several people walked up while we were there and told the night was not available due to capacity. Keep up the good work Old City House.

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.
