Maison De Lu
Maison De Lu isn’t just a restaurant – it’s a reflection of the people who built it, the team who keeps it running, and the community that continues to embrace it. With strong leadership, a talented and caring staff, and a passion for hospitality, Maison De Lu remains
a cherished gathering place in Ocean Springs. Whether you’re stopping by for the first time or returning for the hundredth, you’ll always feel like part of the family.
What started as a small lunch spot offering soups, salads, sandwiches, and fresh Gulf seafood has since evolved into a vibrant, full-service bar and restaurant. Maison De Lu now boasts distinct menus for lunch and dinner, each crafted with care and quality.
Lunch is served Monday through Saturday
from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and features a casual yet refined selection of soups, salads, sandwiches, and seafood – perfect for a relaxing break in the heart of the city.
Dinner, available Tuesday through Saturday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., elevates the experience with a focus on fresh seafood and specialty meats such as lamb, pork, veal, and locally sourced crab. A defining feature of the dinner menu is its ever- evolving nature, with house-made sauces that change weekly, bringing fresh inspiration to the table and giving regulars something new to look forward to.
From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily, happy hour
invites guests to unwind with great deals on drinks and appetizers. The extensive wine list and creative specialty cocktails offer something for every palate, served up at a centralized bar that creates a lively, social atmosphere.
Beyond the food and drinks, what truly sets Maison De Lu apart is its exceptional staff. Their dedication, professionalism, and hard work are the heartbeat of the restaurant. Many have been part of the team for years, forming bonds not just with one another but with the community they serve. The relationships between staff and guests run deep – regulars are greeted by name, stories are shared across tables, and new faces quickly become familiar friends.
