A great gastronomic
and human adventure

Laurie Raphaël and lueur bar-cuisine continue to carve out their place among Quebec’s most notable culinary destinations.

In 2025, the Michelin Guide awarded Laurie Raphaël its first Michelin star, a recognition that highlights our commitment to responsible fine dining, rooted in Quebec’s terroir and driven by a constant pursuit of excellence. That same year, lueur bar-cuisine received its first Bib Gourmand, showcasing a more accessible and convivial approach to gastronomy, without compromising on product quality or the overall guest experience.

In 2026, we were honoured to see this Michelin star renewed for Laurie Raphaël, confirming the consistency of our work and the strength of our vision. lueur bar-cuisine also retained its Bib Gourmand, a distinction that reflects both the relevance of the concept and the exceptional reception it has received from our guests since opening.

These distinctions represent much more than awards. They reflect the passionate work of our teams, the trust of our clientele, as well as the close relationships we maintain with the producers and artisans who support us every day.

In 2024, lueur  was born as a new expression of the Laurie Raphaël universe.
Designed around a convivial bar-kitchen concept, lueur offers a relaxed gastronomic experience where creativity, pleasure, and sharing take center stage.

Set within a vibrant atmosphere and a striking décor, our team showcases generous, approachable dishes, always guided by a deep respect for ingredients and close collaboration with local producers.
This sincere and confident approach was recognized in 2025 with the awarding of a Michelin Bib Gourmand, highlighting the quality, generosity, and accessibility of the Lueur experience.

We couldn’t be prouder of receiving 5 DIAMANTS AAA after 30 years of developing and showcasing Quebec terroir.

Over the years, the trust and support of our costumers allowed us to reinvent and improve ourselves continuously. Without them we wouldn’t be here today.

Thanks to our talented team and succession, we will continue to promote Quebec gastronomy through our culinary creations.

Producers, thank you for your dedication to offer the best product possible and above all to pass on your passion for them everyday.

Bravo to our colleagues in the industry for their perseverance and boundless creativity!

It’s Laurie-Alex’s turn to get involved in the family business, alongside her brother. The two young co- owners renovate and rethink the Laurie Raphaël, which consolidates its reputation with gourmet customers in Quebec and elsewhere.

Suzanne and Daniel’s son, Raphaël Vézina returns to Quebec with his BTS (Higher Technological Baccalaureate) in catering, obtained at the Lycée Hôtelier Paul Augier in Nice. As passionate about gastronomy as his parents, he takes charge of the Montreal restaurant, which he heads for 2 years, before moving on to the Quebec City kitchen.

Laurie Raphaël’s fame goes beyond Quebec, and the table is set for a new adventure: a second Laurie Raphaël is born, in the magnificent Montreal establishment of the Germain Hotels group. This association between two flagships of Quebec entrepreneurship is an instant success, and begins a lasting business relationship.

A new stage is reached with the transformation of Laurie Raphaël into a restaurant-workshop boutique. In addition to the chic gourmet restaurant, the space created by Quebec artisans and designers offers the opportunity to take cooking classes with Daniel Vézina or to purchase homemade products.

Building on their immediate success, the two partners aim for longevity and acquire their current space on Dalhousie Street. Daniel begins his media career and discovers his great talent as a communicator. His participation in several television shows allows him to share his culinary values and his feeling of belonging to the Quebec region with more and more viewers.

Suzanne Gagnon and chef Daniel Vézina open the very first Laurie Raphaël restaurant. Their mission is to develop, together with local producers and artisans, a rich cuisine celebrating the Quebec terroir.
