The Beginning
Founded by visionary restaurateur Jean-Pierre Lumière, our establishment was born from a profound passion for the art of French gastronomy. What began as an intimate 20-seat dining room has evolved into one of Paris's most coveted culinary destinations.
Our name, meaning 'light' in French, reflects our philosophy: to illuminate the senses, to bring clarity to flavors, and to create moments of pure brilliance at every table.
Antoine Beaumont
With over three decades of culinary mastery, Chef Beaumont has trained under the legendary Paul Bocuse and earned Michelin stars at establishments in Lyon, Tokyo, and New York before bringing his extraordinary talent to Lumière.
"Cooking is not about impressing—it's about expressing. Every ingredient has a story, and my role is to let that story unfold on your palate."
