A little bit of the Côte d’Azur is coming to Boston this fall. LPM Restaurant & Bar Boston is open at Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street, marking the French Riviera–inspired restaurant group’s first location in the Northeast.
I recently had the opportunity to get an early taste of LPM, and the experience delivers on the restaurant’s promise of transporting guests to the South of France. From the bright, art-filled dining room to the seafood-forward menu and beautifully crafted cocktails, there’s an easy sophistication to the place—elegant, but never overly formal.
Founded in London in 2007, LPM has developed an international following for its light, ingredient-driven French Mediterranean cooking, polished-but-relaxed service, and distinctive interiors. The Boston restaurant, located on the hotel’s second floor, was designed by Sagrada Studio with the brand’s signature Belle Époque influences and contemporary European sensibility.
At the helm of the kitchen is head chef Gabriela Guitron, whose menu lets seasonal ingredients take center stage, relying on simple French techniques, generous use of olive oil, and an emphasis on fresh seafood.
Among LPM’s signatures are Warm Prawns in Olive Oil and Lemon Juice, Yellowtail Carpaccio, Escargots de Bourgogne, handmade Gnocchi, Lamb Chops, and Lobster Risotto. Boston’s proximity to exceptional seafood also comes into play with Salt-Baked Sea Bass and a locally sourced Seafood Tower.
The Warm Prawns are a particularly good introduction to the LPM approach: uncomplicated, bright, and full of flavor. The emphasis throughout the menu is less on elaborate presentation and more on letting excellent ingredients speak for themselves.
Dessert stays decidedly French, with a classic Crème Brûlée alongside LPM’s signature Cheesecake.
Cocktails With a Riviera Spirit
The bar is an important part of the experience. LPM’s best-known cocktail is the Tomatini, a savory, refreshing take on a martini that has become synonymous with the restaurant. It’s worth trying, particularly if you like cocktails that lean bright and unexpected rather than sweet.
Other selections include Pablo, an herbaceous interpretation of a Gimlet, and Lettre à Coco, a Champagne cocktail layered with bergamot, jasmine, and rose. Black Lemonade offers a sophisticated nonalcoholic option.
The wine list continues the trip to the South of France, emphasizing French wines alongside a thoughtful selection of American labels. I opted for a 2024 Domaine do L’Aigle Limoux Chardonnay, which paired beautifully with the prawns.
“We’re proud to continue our U.S. expansion with a new opening at Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street in Boston,” says Nicolas Budzynski, CEO of LPM Restaurants. “Boston’s vibrant hospitality landscape and access to exceptional local ingredients, particularly seafood, make it a natural next step.”
After experiencing LPM firsthand, it’s easy to understand the restaurant’s international appeal. There’s a celebratory quality to the dining room, but also an ease that makes you want to settle in, order another dish for the table, and linger a little longer. For North Shore diners looking for a reason to head into the city, LPM offers a stylish new escape—no flight to the French Riviera required.
