Coming Soon to Downtown Lancaster: Amorette

Located at 401 N. Prince Steet, in the first level of The Pressroom Building, Amorette has a powerhouse team of Michelin-trained staff, including Executive Chef Daniel LeBoon, a Lancaster native who studied under world-renowned chefs. Most recently, LeBoon was the chef and owner of the now-closed French restaurant Josephine’s in Marietta, PA.

When it comes to the menu, LeBoon says, “[It] will be eclectic, American style with French and Asian influence. But, more importantly, it will be made with the best product we can find. The idea is to bring ingredients to the table that you won’t be able to find anywhere else in the county.”

Diners will have the opportunity to sit at the private chef ’s table inside Amorette’s kitchen where they will be able to experience an intimate, 12-course, blind tasting menu prepared just for them by LeBoon and his talented culinary team. In addition to rare truffles, LeBoon’s cuisine will feature red Argentina shrimp, five different caviars, Nantucket scallops and A5 Kobe beef.

“My goal has always been to make you stop eating,” says LeBoon. “It sounds kind of funny, but I really want you to pause while you’re eating my food and think, ‘Oh, so that’s what that’s supposed to taste like.’”

Wine pairings, available with any of the multi-course menu options, will take center stage at Amorette. Michelin-trained Parisian Level 3 Sommelier Thierry Lesparre has made it his mission to create an experience that will educate diners and open their palates to rare vintages. Lesparre has brought 500 different labels to Amorette from 10 major countries, with deep French and American lists.

The bar is open on Tuesdays through Saturdays starting at 4:30 p.m., while the dining room opens at 5 p.m. Reservations are available through Open Table or by calling (717) 947-7710.

Once open, find Amorette at 401 N. Prince. St. in Lancaster; phone: (717) 947-7710.
