ABOUT
The name "Lumo" means light in Esperanto, a global auxiliary language developed by Polish ophthalmologist Ludwig Leizer Zamenhof to bring people together. Light embodies creativity and positivity—values that reflect our ethos and the community we strive to build.
Located at the intersection of Carpenter Street and South Bridge Road, between Clarke Quay and Boat Quay, Lumo is a vibrant cocktail bar and restaurant offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere. We serve hearty Modern European cuisine, signature cocktails, fine wines, and exceptional hospitality. Whether you're here for a meal, a drink, or just great company, Lumo has something for everyone.
SPACE
Nestled on the ground floor of a post-war Art Deco shophouse, Lumo presents a charming, speakeasy-like façade that hints at a hidden gem within. Step inside, and you'll be welcomed by a warm, cozy, and modern interior that beautifully contrasts the vintage exterior. Lumo’s unique layout offers two distinct spaces: a lively 40-seater bar perfect for those seeking energy and fun, and a more intimate 17-seater open kitchen designed for guests who prefer a personal dining experience. No matter where you sit, you can enjoy Lumo’s signature food and drinks across both vibrant spaces.

MODERN EUROPEAN FARE
Chef Dex brings a world of experience to Lumo, having honed his craft at renowned establishments like Hibiscus in Ludlow, under 2 Michelin-starred chef Claude Bosi in London, and Mugaritz near San Sebastian. After a two-year stint in Hong Kong, Chef Dex returns with a passion for creativity, crafting a menu that reimagines classic dishes with a modern twist. Centered around a wood-fired grill and a sharing plate concept, his innovative approach perfectly aligns with Lumo’s commitment to offering a dynamic and communal dining experience.
