Lumi Restaurant, Italian Craft with Local Character
Set your sights on Lumi, a Chiang Mai culinary beacon where Italian brilliance meets Thai refinement. The restaurant, nestled within stylish AMANOR Hotel, artfully weaves local influences into a dining experience that honors both Italian traditions and Thai cultural heritage. Central to Lumi Chiang Mai is a simple yet powerful philosophy: “Italian craft | local character”. And it’s a vision the menu fully realizes.
Take a culinary journey with us through carefully sourced local ingredients transformed by classic Italian techniques where dishes are familiar and wonderfully unexpected. This ethos is reinforced by our unwavering commitment to sustainability in every aspect of our craft, from produce selection to plate presentation.
Dining Experience
Lumi’s setting reflects the same harmony. Striking interior design elements with subtle textures are highlighted by a rhythmic composition of light features. The concept recalls the city fabric, evincing a strong sense of place. Indeed, from the plate and beyond, a captivating taste of place emerges everywhere at Lumi.
It’s also an evolving concept. Guests of upcoming Lumi destinations, including at AMANOR Stay Jozankei in Japan, can expect similar site-specific design components at each dining space.
Cross-Cultural Cuisine
Diners can begin with, say, Andaman Tuna Tartare combining freshly caught local tuna in an Italian-inspired preparation, the dish deftly balancing avocado, quinoa lemon dressing, pickled shallots and capers. For pasta course, Chef Prince Signature Pasta elevates classic Italian techniques with local seafood and features spaghetti with crab meat, tartar sauce, lumpfish caviar and a delicate tomato butter sauce. Among mains choices is Chef’s Signature Braised Beef Short Ribs masterfully enhanced by berry-infused red wine sauce and served alongside creamy polenta and porcini mushrooms. Also not to be missed is one of the menu’s “Thai Thai” selections such as Kao Soi 9 Prawns, a crispy egg noodle served in rich kao soi broth with braised pulled prawns and ricotta ravioli. Of several ways to conclude the dining experience at Lumi is with interpretation of a classic Italian dessert, Tiramisu, here accompanied by imported premium amarena cherry gelato.
A wide-ranging drinks program complements the cuisine and features favorite Italian wines in addition to innovative cocktails incorporating local Thai ingredients.
