🍜 Lotus Noodle Bar — St. Augustine's Creative & Beautiful Noodle Spot

📍 56 Grove Ave, St. Augustine, FL 32084 Discovered this gem on Reddit — a gorgeous Japanese-French fusion noodle bar! 💫 Average around $100 per person. Small and cozy, so reservations are recommended 📅. 🫓 BLOOM — $15 A must-try! Steamed milk buns shaped like little flowers 🌸—so fluffy and fragrant. Perfect on their own or with honeycomb butter. Add a soft-fried egg (+$6) with a light Chinese-inspired seasoning — delicious! 🥚 🐟 HAMACHI TATAKI TARTARE — $26 Diced yellowtail with Japanese seasoning — fresh and flavorful 🎣. 🍜 SPICY DUCK TAN TAN — $37 Mildly spicy, with minced duck and a broth that leans more Japanese than classic Chinese tantan. Comes with a soft onsen egg — so good! 🦆🍜 🍜 LOBSTER & NOODLES — $45 A visually stunning ramen with a uniquely rich broth 🦞. Also includes an onsen egg. Note: the broth is on the saltier side (in a good, umami-packed way!). 🍧 STRAWBERRY COBBLER — $16 Strawberry compote + sake-infused ice cream = refreshing perfection 🍓❄️. Finished it in seconds! 🍹 LOTUS BLOSSOM — $14 Pretty basic strawberry sparkling cocktail — you can skip this one. A beautiful and creative dining experience — highly recommend if you’re around St. Augustine or looking for a foodie day trip from Orlando! 🚗💨 #JapaneseFusion #CreativeDining #FoodieFind #StAugustineEats #NoodleLover #Ramen #OrlandoFood #FloridaDining #HiddenGem #TravelEats #FoodReview
