2 weeks agoThe service, ambiance, and food were all fantastic! 👍🏻 Paying extra for a main course includes an appetizer and dessert, which is definitely worth it.

3 weeks agoDear Chef Jackson, Just wanted to send a quick note of appreciation after dining at Lumiere. Your genuine passion for the craft comes through vividly in every single dish—the flavors, precision, and thought behind the food were truly remarkable. It was easily one of the best meals I’ve had in Penang, and watching that level of dedication on the plate made the entire evening special. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

a month agoA friend recommended us here and we decided to give it a try. We made a reservation and they will request for RM100 deposit. In general, this place is recommended if you’re looking for a luxurious dining experience with an affordable price. We’re here for our mum’s birthday celebration, and it’s totally worthy. Unfortunately, there’s no photos on the menu, so we largely referred to Google reviews and also the explanation from the servant. In the end we decided to go with all dishes with a recommended sign in the menu. There’s this offer where you just add RM25 to enjoy a starter and a dessert with any main meals purchased. At first, they served bread with home made garlic butter. It tastes wonderful separately and even better when combined. We chose prawn tartare and carrot soup for the starter, and again, it amazes our tastebuds. All mains are incredibly good. My dad is super sensitive with duck taste, but he gives a big thumbs up for confit de canard. My brother ordered 7 days dry aged iberico collar steak, it’s super tender and flavourful too. My dad ordered Australian Angus short rib, even though it’s well done, it’s still tender enough for a fantastic flavour explore. My mum ordered sea bass and it’s good, but the taste is overall the most average one among all dishes. In the end, desserts are served and we ordered all three different desserts available in the menu to try out. They are all wonderful and delicious. Crème brûlée may be the most average one, but tiramisu with alcohol and brownie with ice cream are super good that we think they taste even better than the dessert or cake shop outside.
