“Cooking is the art of transforming simple ingredients into a symphony of flavors. Dare to explore, experiment, and create with emotion.”
“Food binds people, feeding both body and soul, fostering connections, and creating cherished memories.”
“Food is the passport to discovering new cultures, travel is the gateway to exploring new horizons, and love is the spice that makes every journey and every meal truly unforgettable.”
“Inspired by my grandmothers’ love for cooking, I began my culinary journey early on. Lucie Restaurant pays tribute to that love.”
“French cuisine is much more than just a passion; it’s a story woven with dedication, perseverance, and a constant pursuit of excellence.”
“Surrounded by great food and
exceptional wines, Thomas developed a deep love for the culinary world from an early age.”
“Alessio’s love for food ignited at an early age, inspiring him to pursue a formal education at culinary school.”
Lucie is named in memory of my grandmother who played a very important role in my childhood growing up in the South of France. My parents worked long hours and Lucie’s house was my second home. I became the object of all her attention. She cooked lunch and dinner just for me, often giving me “vin sucre”, a mix of red wine, sugar, and water. She made a point of going to the local Food Market in the town’s main square where she would find the most incredible guinea fowl, chicken, eggs, cheeses, lamb chops, fresh vegetables, and so many more treats. Once home, the cooking started and the wonderful smells in her small and tiny house would fill every single crack as if there were too many scents to handle. Once everything was cooked to her liking, the wait began: the apprehension of hearing the front door opening as I was coming back from school. Her days were simple, making me happy was her craft, and did she ever excel at it! She gave me so much, and I hope I was able to give her enough love back.
So, Lucie is just that, my childhood and the precious moments spent under the undisputed attention of a loving Grandmother. This restaurant is an homage to her Love, dedication, and undivided attention.
So, I hope that when you visit Lucie, you too can enjoy a glimpse of her Spirit and Generosity.
Merci Mamie Lucie.
