LUMEN RESTAURANT
We believe that food is more than just taste. It is light that warms, unites, and inspires.
Welcome to Lumen — a place where every moment shines.
About us
Lumen is a place where light and flavor intertwine into a single story.
The name Lumen comes from Latin, meaning “light” — a symbol of warmth, inspiration, and clarity.
We bring this idea to life through gastronomy, creating dishes that fill each moment with a special glow.
Menu
The restaurant’s menu combines the refined elegance of Scandinavian cuisine with the warm, soulful influence of Slavic traditions.
We work carefully with seasonal ingredients, highlighting their natural beauty and purity of taste.
Ambience
The interior of Lumen is a harmony of light and texture: soft lamp glow, natural wood, and a calm color palette.
There’s nothing excessive here — only what creates an atmosphere of warmth and comfort that makes you want to stay longer.
Mark Keerd
At the heart of every restaurant is a person who brings ideas to life. At Lumen, that person is Mark – a man for whom food is art, inspiration, and a way to tell stories without words.
For him, it is important that every guest feels, even for a moment, as if they’ve stepped outside their everyday routine – surrounded by flavours, aromas and warmth that evoke Nordic calm and the fragility of light. Mark believes that truly great dishes are born from honest ingredients, the right flavours, and small details that together create a complete whole.
Under his guidance, Lumen’s kitchen has become a place where creativity meets precision, simplicity meets elegance. Here, flavours are created that don’t try to be overly complex – but honest, seasonal and full of character. “Good food doesn’t need to shout to be noticed. When the flavour is right, it speaks for itself,” says Mark. This philosophy has also earned Mark the Michelin Young Chef Award 2025 title.
