La Ville Lumière is a celebration of two cities of light: Paris, known for its timeless glow, and Cleveland, which earned its title as the “City of Light” in 1879 when it became the first city in the world to light a public space with electric arc lamps in its iconic Public Square.

Located in the historic Wilsher Building on the tree-lined Clifton Boulevard in Cleveland’s Edgewater neighborhood, La Ville Lumière blends French brasserie charm with a nod to our city’s bright history and innovative spirit.

Executive Chef Kevin O’Connell has expertly composed a menu that reflects the soul of a classic French brasserie, offering the finest execution of Gallic favorites like fresh seafood towers, steak frites, French onion soup, and salade niçoise. We also embrace Europe’s culinary diversity with dishes inspired by Spain, Italy, Germany, and Hungary. Every bite at La Ville Lumière is crafted with precision and passion, with meats butchered in-house, fresh sausages and burgers ground daily, and a bakery led by our French-trained pastry chef turning out artisanal breads and pastries.

Our extensive wine list and carefully curated cocktail program are designed to elevate your dining experience, from lunch to late-night suppers to weekend brunch.

At La Ville Lumière, we invite you to experience the flavors of Europe while basking in Cleveland’s own luminous legacy, where tradition and innovation come together in every dish.
