Slow food.
Fast friends.

A French-leaning neighbourhood bistro on a quiet corner of Hayes Valley — natural wine, candlelight, and a menu that changes when the market does.

"The duck confit alone is worth the trip — and then the dessert arrives."

The story

A corner table, everyone's table.

Lumière opened on a quiet evening in March 2021. Chef Marc and his partner Camille had been cooking out of their apartment kitchen for friends since the lockdowns — and one day decided to keep going.

The room is small. The menu is short. The wine is mostly French, mostly natural, mostly poured from a magnum. The point is the corner table — yours, ours, and the regulars who've made it theirs.
