The origin of the La Mère Poulard restaurant concept
Our foundress, Annette Poulard (1852 – 1931), became an ambassador for the best of French cuisine: culinary delights resulting from the simplicity of combining quality ingredients with imaginative, creative cooking. For her immense talent and some seven hundred exquisite recipes she created during her long career, Annette Poulard was awarded the honorary title of “Mère” that distinguished her exceptional cooking capabilities and her contribution to the reputation of French gastronomy. Her auberge, opened in 1888, is still operational today and is the flagship restaurant of LMP.
La Mère Poulard in the world
With proven success in highly competitive Asian markets such as Tokyo, Taipei and Seoul, the LMP franchise concept is ready to expand worldwide. Its uniqueness, its outstanding profitability and its standardised and efficient operational organisation make it suitable for every developed market on the planet.
Our secrets of success
- Uniqueness and Simplicity: Take our signature menu, the soufflée omelette, as an example: it is unique in its taste and texture but simple to make. All it takes is 3 eggs.
- Outstanding Profitability and Organisational Efficiency: You can source most of our ingredients easily in your local market, which guarantees low cost of goods. Furthermore, with our know-how, we have optimised the efficiency of the kitchen and the service. Consequently, you enjoy a high operational margin
- People: We believe in people. This means we believe your people, too! We train your people to be experts rather than sending expensive experts from France. The effort we make in training, qualifying and efficiently organising our kitchen- and service-teams turns to account in enthusiastic customers and an outstanding reputation of the LMP restaurants.
