Lumière
Our 45 seat Relais & Chateaux Jewelbox
Right next door to db Bistro Moderne, sharing a wine cellar and the co-proprietorship and world-class management of Daniel Boulud's Dinex Group, sits the Relais and Chateaux class Lumière restaurant. Lumière is Daniel's second gastronomique restaurant, and in his own words, "a dream come true for every Chef ... a beautiful, 45 seat jewel box."
With its provocative blend of European sophistication, modern French sensibilities and Westcoast innovation, Lumière cuisine speaks a language all its own. Chef Daniel Boulud and Lumière's Executive Chef Dale Mackay (two of only 160 Grand Relais & Chateaux Chefs in the world) have captured the imaginations and palates of fine food lovers from all over the world.
The beautiful, newly renovated room with its intimate scale and plush, voluptuous proportions, reintroduces Vancouver to one of its best-loved culinary destinations. At Lumière, the world stands still as extraordinary service and sublime cuisine promise guests the culinary trip of a lifetime - each and every time.
Lumière enters its second decade in Vancouver with a remarkable new partnership with Daniel Boulud and Dinex. Based in New York City, Daniel is committed to a continued presence in the Lumière kitchen, both in person and in daily consultation with rising star Executive Chef Dale Mackay.
Dale is one of Canada's best new Chefs, who came to Lumière from the kitchens of the famed Gordon Ramsay restaurants in London, Tokyo and New York.
Gourmand designation, an honour reserved for those who specifically cater to the art of living, quality, refinement and a sense of the exceptional, has been awarded to Lumière. Lumière has been a Relais and Chateau restaurant since 2000, and a AAA Five Diamond Award recipient since 2005.
