Our Story

Twenty-Five Years of Light

From a twelve-table bistro to two Michelin stars — the story of Maison Lumière is the story of the Dubois family.

Sommelier pouring wine in the Maison Lumière dining room

“A dinner should end the way a great story does — with silence, then applause.”

Aurélie Dubois — Chef & Founder

A family kitchen that grew into a stage — without losing its soul.

Our mission has never changed: cook honestly, source responsibly, and treat every guest like family returning home. Each morning begins at the farmers' market and ends with Chef Aurélie tasting every sauce before the first guest is seated.

We believe in seasonality over spectacle, craft over shortcuts, and warmth over formality. That belief built everything you taste tonight.

  1. 1999

    A Family Dream

    Aurélie and Marc Dubois open a twelve-table bistro with one belief — that dinner should feel like a celebration.

  2. 2008

    First Michelin Star

    Our devotion to seasonal, farm-to-table cooking earns Maison Lumière its first star and international attention.

  3. 2016

    The New Maison

    We move to our current home on Vesper Lane — a restored 1920s atelier with a glass-walled kitchen and rooftop garden.

  4. 2024

    A Quarter Century

    Twenty-five years, eighteen awards, and over a million guests later, every plate still begins with the same question: will this be remembered?

Why Maison Lumière

The Details That Make the Difference

Eight quiet obsessions that separate a good dinner from an unforgettable one.

Farm-to-Table

Ninety percent of our produce arrives within 24 hours of harvest from partner farms in the Hudson Valley.

Organic Sourcing

Certified organic vegetables, biodynamic wines, and sustainably caught seafood — without compromise.

Chef Curated

Every menu is composed personally by Chef Aurélie Dubois, refined nightly with her brigade.

Award Winning

Two Michelin stars, a James Beard award, and Wine Spectator's Grand Award since 2018.

Live Music

A jazz trio fills the dining room every Friday and Saturday evening from nine o'clock.

Family Owned

Three generations of the Dubois family greet you at the door, just as they did in 1999.

Premium Ingredients

Ossetra caviar, Périgord truffles, A5 wagyu — sourced directly from producers we know by name.

Sustainability

Zero-waste kitchen, rooftop apiary, and carbon-neutral operations certified since 2022.
