The Main Dining Room

Three Michelin Stars · Est. 2014
An Edible Architecture of Light
A nineteen-course tasting menu composed of rare imports, foraged botanicals, and the finest catch from the North Atlantic — served nightly in the heart of Manhattan.
Chef Élise Marchand
Founder & Executive Chef
Our Philosophy
A devotion to source, season, and stillness.
Executive Chef Élise Marchand trained beneath Pierre Gagnaire and Yoshihiro Murata before opening Lumina with a singular vision: cuisine as a quiet conversation between land, ocean, and time. Every plate is a study in restraint — Hokkaido uni warmed in brown butter, single-origin Périgord truffle shaved over hand-pulled buckwheat, koshihikari rice aged eighteen months in cedar. We work directly with seventy-two farms, four ama divers, and a single salt harvester in the Guérande.
