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.

"The true essence of an Asado engages family & friends long before the food hits the table."

Whether you're enjoying a romantic dinner or a lively gathering with friends, the serene backdrop of the river enhances the ambiance of our restaurant. At Asado Life, we believe in the art of live fire grilling—a method that infuses every dish with unparalleled flavor and aroma. Our chefs skillfully harness the power of open flames to create mouthwatering grilled specialties.

One of my very favorite spots for date night, team building events, family life changing events and everything in between, including brunch! Asado Life’s outstanding menus, cocktail & food, are sure to satisfy any palate. Not only are the food and drinks amazing but the staff is ALWAYS friendly and truly can make you feel like you are their favorite guest. Last night, my husband and I came for date night and we were completely satisfied as usual and cannot wait to be back again.
