Chef Michael Lugo Ushers in a New Culinary Era with Pesca By Michael's at The HYATT PLACE, Vilano Beach, Florida.

In Vilano Beach in 2023, Pesca combines globally-inspired coastal cuisine with bold Latin flavors and fresh Florida ingredients. "Pesca," derived from the Spanish word for fishing, was inspired by Michael's late father's favorite restaurant in his native Puerto Rico.

Inspired by Miami's Art Deco architecture, along with a rooftop bar and grill offering panoramic coastal views, Pesca by Michael's brings a new and exciting culinary concept to Northeast Florida's growing dining scene. Cocktails, brews, and a charming wine selection are available at our rooftop bar, along with a rooftop menu featuring small plates and daily seafood specials.

History:

Esteemed chef and restaurateur Michael Lugo, known for his iconic downtown St. Augustine restaurant, Michael's, has unveiled plans for his ambitious new establishment, "Pesca By Michael's," scheduled for its grand opening in the third quarter of 2022. This culinary haven, complete with a rooftop bar, nestles within the lavish confines of The HYATT PLACE, Vilano Beach.

Legacy Continued:

For over 16 years, Chef Lugo's hallmark restaurant, Michael's, has set the gold standard in St. Augustine, presenting an exquisite blend of steak dishes and coastal Spanish-inspired gastronomy. "Michael's wasn't just a restaurant; it was a journey, an evolution," states Chef Lugo. "Vilano Beach's HYATT PLACE presented a unique opportunity to augment our brand while preserving its essence. Pesca By Michael's is not just an extension, but a reimagining of our culinary ethos, tailored for the distinct character of Vilano Beach."
