✨ A Little Sparkle for Your Day: Claire de Lune (Marc Kuzma)
Claire de Lune (they/them), the divine alter ego of French-born chef Marc Kuzma, has been poring love and light into Oxford Street for years: blending culinary artistry, camp, performance, and community into something unforgettable. If you’ve ever eaten at Claire’s Kitchen, you’ve felt their warmth — it’s not just food, it’s inclusive theatre served on plates.
What makes Claire de Lune special isn’t just the drag or the dishes — it’s how they show up. They’ve brought gourmet drag dinners, magic, q***r spaces, and joy to Sydney’s Mardi Gras and beyond; they’ve made Oxford Street more than a strip, but a stage. Marc’s kitchen has served countless meals, but Claire’s presence feeds something deeper: belonging, spectacle, authenticity.
There’s artistry in every detail: the way Claire hosts, the energy with diners, the fusion of French technique + camp flair, the annual ritual of performance & community bonding. And while many performers and chefs chase perfection, Claire often reminds us that sparkle comes from daring to show up, letting the craft shine through, and making joy visible for everyone in the audience.
Local, theatrical, heart-forward — Claire de Lune proves you can run a restaurant and create drag magic; cook genuine connection into every encounter. Oxford Street wouldn’t be half as bright without them.
