From morning croissants to late-night apéros, LPM’s newest neighborhood spot is built for any hour and every mood.
LPM Restaurants have always understood the art of long lunches, chilled Tomatinis, and delectable escargots, but its newest chapter feels refreshingly personal. From London and Miami to Dubai, the brand has spent years presenting quintessential French dining at its absolute finest. Now, straight from the LPM family, meet Le Café LPM: its playfully décontractée, whimsical sibling at HUNA on Al Wasl Road. Conceived as an everyday neighborhood extension of the house, it brings the casual air of the French Riviera directly into daily Dubai life.

Make no mistake: that easygoing, à la bonne franquette attitude takes nothing away from the luxury LPM is renowned for. Art-lined walls, meticulous culinary craft, and the freshest seasonal produce remain front and center. The kitchen glides seamlessly from morning staples (the pain perdu paired with a café latte is non-negotiable) right through to golden steak frites by dinner.
Designed to move au fil de la journée, from 7:30 am until past midnight, the space works just as well for a solo espresso as it does for a lingering evening apéro. Breakfast centers around crisp tartines and flaky viennoiseries baked fresh in-house daily, with standouts like the nutty Praline du Sud and the rich Pain Chocolatine.

As Nicolas Budzynski, CEO of LPM Restaurant & Bar, explains: “Le Café LPM has allowed us to explore a completely new expression of the brand. One that can be part of our guests’ days in many different ways, while still feeling unmistakably LPM.”
The true showstopper is the couture cake counter, timed neatly for the holiday rush. Pastry chefs build seasonal creations right before your eyes, backed by a bespoke station where you can personalize your order. In an especially charming touch, the takeaway boxes come with a built-in slot to slip in a handwritten note.

Neither a rushed grab-and-go counter nor an over-the-top spectacle, Le Café LPM is pure, easygoing joie de vivre. It leans into an easy come-as-you-are attitude, whether you are dressed to the nines or fresh from a morning workout. Swing by for ten minutes or lose track of time until late. Either way, you have found your chic new rendez-vous. Santé!
Le Café LPM officially opens its doors on October 23rd.
Address: HUNA, Al Wasl Road, Jumeirah, Dubai.
