A Personal Note from the Founder & CEO: A New Chapter of Relaxed Fine Dining at L’Arôme by the Sea

From opening our first restaurant in Paris 16 years ago to now having established over 25 establishments worldwide, my culinary journey has been one of constant evolution — from Chinese to French cuisine, from casual dining to refined gastronomy. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of working with exceptional chefs who have continually challenged and inspired me, shaping my understanding of what dining truly means. Now, as L’Arôme by the Sea celebrates its fourth anniversary, it’s the perfect moment to redefine the essence of fine dining. To me, a restaurant should no longer be a place where guests feel they’re attending a three-hour “lecture.” Instead, it should be a space where every bite brings lightness, comfort, and genuine joy. Embracing the core philosophy of “Precision, Purity, and the Sea,” Chef Maksym will lead the way in creating a dining experience that is not only elevated but also effortlessly relaxed and emotionally resonant. Each dish will be a heartfelt tribute to the Andaman Sea’s rich terroir, inviting guests to savor not just the flavors but the very essence of our culinary journey.

Why "Madame FAN"

The opening of Madame FAN is the fruit of my reflection, a true tribute to the modernity of Chinese cuisine, breaking free from the confines of traditional classifications. I strive to capture 100% of the authenticity of Chinese flavors, enhanced by 30% with Western presentation techniques, for a final result that dares 130% innovation. For the Chinese, our cuisine awakens a deep, familiar nostalgia; for foreigners, it serves as an open window to the rich cultural and historical abundance of China. Madame FAN aims to offer an unprecedented sensory adventure, where each dish tells its own story, merging the elegance of Chinese dining with the sophistication of French culinary art.
