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.

We are delighted to announce the arrival of the newest member of our restaurant family: Bistro des Livres. This unique venue carries forward the legacy of Bistro des Lettres, blending a captivating literary ambiance with exquisite dishes. Here, every meal is a journey of discovery, and every book an open door to a new world. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing this delightful and cultural experience with you.
