As proud patrons of the Vancouver Opera, Lumière owners David and Manjy Sidoo will donate 10% from each pre-Opera dinner sold throughout the season, to the Vancouver Opera. Reserve 5pm pre-Opera table now for Thursday, April 29th.
So, please join us for an early dinner on one of the evenings noted below. Share the intimate 40-seat Lumière dining room with other Opera lovers and enjoy Relais & Chateaux class cuisine prepared especially for you, by western Canada's only Grand Chef Relais & Chateaux.
