About Lil’ Dame

Lil' Dame offers an exceptional dining experience in a beautiful and welcoming space. Highlights include the Bialy Bird with apricot feta, grilled eggplant, ribs, and mushroom curry. The service is incredible, and the Clandestino menu is both beautiful and delicious, complemented by sensational wine. Currently in residence at Lil' Dame, Chef Jewan Manuel, known as Plant Based Papi, presents a delightful array of ramen and bao buns. The ramen broth is thick and hearty, made from a mix of sunflower and hemp seeds, kombu, shallots, and more, while the house-made noodles provide the perfect consistency. The menu features no fake meats, opting for tofu and marinated mushrooms instead. The thoughtfully curated wine, beer, and cider selections enhance the experience.

Additionally, on Mondays and Tuesdays, Le Clown operates within the Lil' Dame space, serving French cuisine with a southwestern influence. Dishes like "Asperge paloise" and the Foico-Taco offer unique flavors that surprise and delight. The cooks and staff work hard to create delicious meals, with main courses like Pojarski de agneu and tender duck that leave a lasting impression. While the wine selection is small, it is well-curated, and the service is generally good, though there may be some wait during busy times. Overall, Lil' Dame is a place worth visiting for anyone who enjoys exceptional food and a warm atmosphere.
