La Chaumière in Georgetown now has new ownership.
For nearly the last half century, La Chaumière in Georgetown has remained largely unchanged. “If it’s not broken, don’t change it,” says longtime owner Martin Lumet. He’s held fast to that guiding principle since he took over the country-style French restaurant in 2006, when its original owner, Gerard Pain, retired. Now, Lumet is retiring too, and has sold the business to new owners. But he says La Chaumière will continue stay true to its roots.
“Nothing is going to change. Nothing at all. Not the staff. Not the menu. Nothing at all,” Lumet says. Well, maybe not. The new owners are French native Gil Fornaris—who’s overseen operations at chains like P.F. Chang’s, Ruth’s Chris Steak House, and more recently,—and fellow industry veteran Mike Connelly. Lumet’s business partner and chef Patrick Moulet will continue to run the kitchen for the next four months, while the new owners search for a new classically trained French chef.
Meanwhile, Lumet says he was ready for a personal change—one that involves more fishing and time with his wife. “I’m kind of tired of doing this,” he says. “I’ve been here for 17 years now, and, you know, it’s not an easy business. It takes a toll on you and your family, so I don’t want to be doing that for the rest of my life.” He adds that “tedious” DC regulations—from changes to the minimum wage to patio permitting—were another factor in selling the restaurant.
