Lutèce is the French form of Lutetia, the Roman city where Paris now stands. The name also refers to:

Lutèce was a French restaurant in Manhattan that operated for more than 40 years before closing in early 2004. It once had a satellite restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip.

It was famous for its Alsatian onion tart and a sauteed foie gras with dark chocolate sauce and bitter orange marmalade. In 1972, W magazine referred to it as one of "Les Six, the last bastions of grand luxe dining in New York." The other five were La Grenouille, La Caravelle, La Côte Basque, Lafayette, and Quo Vadis.

Lutèce was a restaurant located in The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian on the Las Vegas Strip. The restaurant was owned by Ark Restaurants with David Feau as executive chef from the New York restaurant. Today both the New York and Las Vegas restaurants are closed.
