New Summer Menu at LPM
If you can’t make it to the South of France this summer, LPM Miami is bringing the French Riviera to you. Fresh off an interior refresh and ahead of a forthcoming expansion, the restaurant relaunches its much-anticipated Les Precious Moments summer menu on June 22, running through September 30. The program offers three-course lunch and dinner menus built around LPM’s signature dishes, and every guest with a reservation receives a “golden ticket” scratch card. The grand prize is a flight to the French Riviera for one lucky winner.
The summer program returns on the heels of LPM Miami’s interior refresh, which reopened to the public on June 6, arriving as the restaurant approaches its tenth anniversary in 2027, a decade-long run that has cemented LPM as one of Miami’s most beloved dining destinations.
The Menus
Les Precious Moments offers three-course curated menus at two price points for both lunch and dinner. Lunch is available at $40 (3-Course Menu) and $65 (Signature). Dinner is available at
$65 (3-Course Menu) and $90 (Signature Menu). The $65 menu is available for lunch and dinner. Whether it’s a weekday business lunch, a girls’ night out, or a leisurely Sunday meal,
each menu showcases the signature, made-from-scratch cooking guests have come to love over the years.
The award-winning cocktail program features a selection of signature cocktails, like the Tomatini, the essence of LPM in a martini glass, along with NA options like the Limonade Noire, rosemary-infused honey with verjuice, and activated charcoal stirred with sparkling water.
‘Summer Scratch Card’
Every guest with a reservation receives a scratch-off card, and approximately 70 percent are winners. Prizes range from a signature Tomatini cocktail, a glass of wine, or dessert to a Business Lunch, Miami Spice menu, Sunday Brunch, and dining credits to keep enjoying LPM all summer. The grand prize is a $1,500 Delta flight credit toward a trip to the French Riviera, and additional prizes include a one-night stay at the Four Seasons Boston Dalton Street, paired with a first look at LPM Boston when it opens later this year.
LPM has also expanded to seven-day service, including prix-fixe and à la carte lunch, and a newly launched Sunday brunch program. LPM’s Happy Hour ‘Cinq A Sept’ is available in the bar area, Monday through Friday from 5-7 pm.

It’s a creamy, flavorful bite that pays homage to one of Spain’s most iconic tapas traditions.
Alternately, diners can indulge in something heartier, such as the Solomillo con Setas.

And save room for dessert, because the Passion Fruit Panna Cotta is truly summer on a plate. Paired with vanilla custard and passion fruit sauce, it offers a smooth finish to any meal with bright tropical notes.
