The opening date for the new highly anticipated restaurant is set for mid-March. Formerly, La Cremaillere, the restaurant's new menu is seafood-forward and the interiors are refreshed. A new bar/lounge area and menu will be added to the renewed concept. Le Poisson will be Chef Burke's first restaurant as managing partner.
In January, the team at La Cremaillere announced a re-brand and interior refresh to begin this month. The project is led by the restaurant's Executive Chef and new Managing Partner, Thomas Burke. La Cremaillere is currently closed but will serve customers for the last time on Valentine's Day, Wednesday, February 14th, and one last private event. The new restaurant Le Poisson, meaning the fish in French, will open in mid-March. Chef Bruke led the reopening of La Cremaillere in 2022 and under his leadership, the restaurant was recognized by the Michelin Guide two years in a row. Le Poisson will remain in the French fine dining category.
Le Poisson will highlight Chef Burke's talents with a new seafood-forward menu. The new menu will feature dishes like tuna carpaccio, hamachi tartare, Maine lobster, porterhouse steak, shrimp cocktail, and an over-the-top seafood tower. "I'm excited to open my first restaurant in our current space and work with my talented team on offering our guests a new experience they will love," said Chef Bruke. He continued, "We are staying true to our fine French dining roots although making some necessary changes to the interiors of the restaurant and updating the menu with dishes our customers really want". Le Poisson's owners not only made Chef Burke a Managing Partner but are also supporting him in the launch of Le Poisson as his first restaurant concept that is truly his vision.
La Cremaillere's iconic reputation known for unparalleled service and cuisine since the 1940s also remains an inspiration for the team. For over 80 years the restaurant has attracted celebrities and the most notable people in top industries. A farewell message will be hosted online and on social (lacremny.com).
