Quintessential Richmond

For over three decades, Lemaire Restaurant has been creating memorable dining experiences for the residents of Richmond and guests of The Jefferson Hotel.

Seasonally Inspired

Our menu changes with the seasons but our commitment to fresh, delicious ingredients at the peak of their flavor never falters.

Artfully Crafted

From cocktails to dessert, attention to every detail creates a feast for your eyes.

Experiential

We believe that a great meal is best enjoyed when accompanied by exceptional service and a beautiful setting.


Alligators lived in marble ponds in the Palm Court lobby at The Jefferson until 1948. Occasionally they would wander into the rooms that Lemaire now occupies.

Each seasonal menus features comforting family style sides to share with the table.

Crab cakes are one of the most popular items.

The seasonal soups, like this Squash Bisque, are not to be overlooked.

The decadent Barnyard Burger has appeared on the dinner menu for more than 10 years.

Local suppliers, like Manakintowne Farms, provide beautiful, seasonal ingredients.

Enjoy a modern twist in all our classic, hand-crafted cocktails.

The New American menus showcase locally grown ingredients in classic regional dishes and cocktails, each with modern twist paying homage to the bounty of Virginia.
