Lobster Thermidor Chef's Recommendation

Signature Dish

Lobster Thermidor

A dish we've served since our opening night — Brittany lobster, saffron cream, aged cognac, and gruyère blistered under the salamander. Chef Laurent finishes each plate at the pass with a whisper of Amalfi lemon.

  • · Wild-caught Brittany lobster
  • · Saffron cream, cognac reduction
  • · Aged gruyère, tarragon, Amalfi lemon

Our Story

A room built around the table.

Maison Lumière opened in 1998 as a small family dining room on Rue des Étoiles. Nearly three decades later, we still write our menu each morning, guided by what arrived at the door and what the seasons quietly ask for.

Our philosophy is simple: extraordinary produce, unhurried craft, and a room where every guest feels expected. Nothing more.

"An evening of pure poetry. Every plate told a story, and the service moved like clockwork. Easily the most memorable dinner I've had this year."

"The wagyu tenderloin is transcendent. The room is intimate without ever feeling stuffy. A masterclass in restraint and craft."

"From the amuse-bouche to the mignardises, an exquisite arc. The sommelier's pairings were quietly spectacular."
