Farm-to-Table
Ninety percent of our produce arrives within 24 hours of harvest from partner farms in the Hudson Valley.
A seasonal tasting menu, farm-to-table ingredients, and a dining room that glows like candlelight — in the heart of the city.
From a twelve-table bistro to two Michelin stars — the story of Maison Lumière is the story of the Dubois family.
“A dinner should end the way a great story does — with silence, then applause.”
Aurélie Dubois — Chef & Founder
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.
1999
Aurélie and Marc Dubois open a twelve-table bistro with one belief — that dinner should feel like a celebration.
2008
Our devotion to seasonal, farm-to-table cooking earns Maison Lumière its first star and international attention.
2016
We move to our current home on Vesper Lane — a restored 1920s atelier with a glass-walled kitchen and rooftop garden.
2024
Twenty-five years, eighteen awards, and over a million guests later, every plate still begins with the same question: will this be remembered?
Eight quiet obsessions that separate a good dinner from an unforgettable one.
Ninety percent of our produce arrives within 24 hours of harvest from partner farms in the Hudson Valley.
Certified organic vegetables, biodynamic wines, and sustainably caught seafood — without compromise.
Every menu is composed personally by Chef Aurélie Dubois, refined nightly with her brigade.
Two Michelin stars, a James Beard award, and Wine Spectator's Grand Award since 2018.
A jazz trio fills the dining room every Friday and Saturday evening from nine o'clock.
Three generations of the Dubois family greet you at the door, just as they did in 1999.
Ossetra caviar, Périgord truffles, A5 wagyu — sourced directly from producers we know by name.
Zero-waste kitchen, rooftop apiary, and carbon-neutral operations certified since 2022.
Seasonal, limited, and personally recommended by Chef Aurélie. When they're gone, they're gone.
Carnaroli rice finished tableside in a wheel of parmigiano, crowned with winter black truffle shaved to order.
Friday & Saturday only
The dining room at golden hour, the brigade mid-service, and the plates everyone photographs first.
Nearly three thousand five-star reviews — but we'd rather let a few guests speak for themselves.
“Maison Lumière doesn't serve dinner — it stages it. The seven-course tasting is the most coherent piece of culinary storytelling I've experienced in a decade of reviewing.”
