On July 12–13, 2025, France Larome Group’s two Michelin-starred restaurants joined hands to present the L’Arôme Duo-Stars dinner series. These two exclusive evenings were more than just fine dining—they were a profound dialogue across geography, culture, and aesthetics.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our guests and the dedicated team behind the scenes for making this radiant chapter in the L’Arôme universe possible.

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.

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.
