Lemuria reveals exquisite event venues at "An Evening in Bloom" gathering

“At Lemuria, we’ve always believed that dining is more than the food on the table—it’s about the experience and the moments people share together. With Fleur de Lis and our private dining spaces, we wanted to create environments where guests can celebrate life’s milestones in a setting that feels intimate, beautiful, and memorable.” ~Chef Kevin Endaya

On March 19, 2026, Lemuria Fine Dining welcomed members of the media and select guests to an intimate gathering titled "Lemuria: An Evening in Bloom." The evening featured a selection of the restaurant's bestsellers—dishes that have long been enjoyed by its loyal guests and patrons—while introducing its elegant event spaces designed for private celebrations and memorable gatherings.

The event, held in the freshly opened Fleur de Lis, exemplified Lemuria's signature charm and understated sophistication. Set in an intimate garden setting that exudes charm and exclusivity, guests had an evening that showcased the restaurant's unique ability to combine exquisite meals with a polished and friendly atmosphere.

Dinner was served alongside Antipodes, a luxury bottled water imported from New Zealand and distributed exclusively in the Philippines by Lemuria's owners, reinforcing the restaurant's commitment to providing thoughtfully selected global products that enhance the overall dining experience.

Executive Chef Kevin Endaya served cuisine that emphasized balance, refinement, and freshness.

A new garden venue for memorable celebrations

The evening's highlight was the launch of Fleur de Lis, a tranquil garden location that can accommodate up to 70 guests, making it ideal for milestone birthdays, anniversaries, private dinners, and corporate events.

Set against Lemuria's garden backdrop, the venue provides a beautiful location that matches the restaurant's timeless aesthetic—where European-inspired architecture meets natural peace.

Fleur de Lis has joined Lemuria's portfolio of private dining spaces, allowing the restaurant to host events of varied sizes.

The Main Dining Room can accommodate up to 26 persons for exquisite seated dinners.

The Lavender Room is excellent for meetings of up to thirty guests.

The Papillon is a more intimate private space suitable for up to ten guests.

Together, these areas make Lemuria a great place for small gatherings as well as medium-sized social and corporate events, all set in the restaurant's unique garden setting.

Approaching a milestone anniversary

The event also comes ahead of a watershed moment for the restaurant, as Lemuria prepares to mark its 20th anniversary in June 2026.

Lemuria has earned a dedicated following over the last two decades for its elegant French Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, attentive service, and romantic environment, making it one of the city's most popular special occasion restaurants.

Guests who frequent the restaurant can also enjoy exclusive dining privileges through the Lemuria Rewards loyalty program, which provides selected rewards to repeat customers.

With the arrival of Fleur de Lis, Lemuria continues to grow as a place for memorable occasions, combining outstanding cuisine, exquisite venues, and moments worth celebrating.
