St. Augustine is getting some serious foodie attention, with several local restaurants earning spots in the Michelin Guide. Lotus Noodle Bar in historic downtown takes ramen to another level with dishes like garlic noodle ramen and spicy duck tantan, while Asado Life combines waterfront views with Argentine-inspired, live-fire cooking — including favorites like short ribs and the Asado trio. And good news for Jacksonville: Asado Life is also planning a new downtown Jax location.
Then there’s Bar Citra, a sleek wine bar, café and bakery concept where dishes like ricotta dumplings and deviled eggs are getting plenty of love. The three restaurants couldn’t be more different, and that’s what makes the list fun — you can go for an elevated bowl of ramen, make a night out of dinner on the water, or settle in for wine and small plates. Basically, your next St. Augustine trip might need to be planned around where you’re eating.
