La Petite Maison has opened Le Café LPM at The Lanesborough, introducing its new Riviera-inspired café concept through a year-long London residency.
The venue opened on 9 September and marks the first physical expression of the new café brand, extending the La Petite Maison offer beyond its established restaurant format.
Located within The Lanesborough’s glazed pavilion at Hyde Park Corner, Le Café LPM has been designed as an all-day destination centred around coffee, pâtisserie, Riviera-inspired dining and aperitivo.
The menu includes smaller dishes such as Tapenade with garlic croutons, Smoked Aubergine Caviar with tomato and chives, Burrata Tartine with tomatoes, basil and sherry vinegar, and Tuna Carpaccio with pickled almonds and truffle dressing.
Further dishes include Crispy Fried Squid with saffron aioli and Marinated Octopus with paprika, potatoes and chickpeas.
Larger options include the Croque Monsieur with veal ham, Comté and honey butter, Sirloin Steak Baguette with gaufrette potatoes, Rigatoni Arrabbiata, Grilled Prawns with herb butter and Veal Milanese with parmesan and mixed greens.
Le Café LPM’s Caesar Salad is available with either chicken or lobster.
Desserts include Le Soleil de Menton, combining mascarpone and lemon mousse with hazelnut sponge and citrus curd, alongside Crème Caramel and LPM’s Dark Chocolate Mousse with sea salt.
The new concept has also introduced a cocktail menu inspired by the French Riviera.
Drinks include the Tomato & Olive Oil Sour, La Pêche Fizz, Fig Leaf Negroni and Le Café Martini.
IA Interior Architects has designed the venue using a palette of terracotta, soft coral, sage green, walnut, Calacatta marble and antique brass.
Bespoke furnishings, Riviera-inspired artwork and a botanical mural feature throughout the interior, while an outdoor terrace extends the dining space overlooking Hyde Park Corner.
Nicolas Budzynski, CEO of LPM Restaurant & Bar, said: “We are delighted to introduce the Le Café LPM pop-up at The Lanesborough in London, an iconic hotel that perfectly reflects the sophistication and elegance behind the concept.
“London holds a special place in our story as the city where La Petite Maison first began in 2007, making it the ideal setting to unveil this new chapter of the brand.
“Le Café LPM brings a fresher, more dynamic and community-driven interpretation of the French Riviera lifestyle, combining quality cuisine, warmth, and a more intimate neighbourhood feel within a luxury environment.
“We believe this collaboration offers the perfect platform to introduce Le Café LPM to a global audience from one of the world’s most influential hospitality capitals.”
Le Café LPM will operate at The Lanesborough for one year, trading throughout the day from coffee and lunch through to evening aperitivo.
