Meet the Owners

Lil & Lori Lacassagne

In 2011, we transitioned from owning Saint Jacques French Cuisine restaurant in Raleigh to acquiring the Burke Manor Inn & Pavilion in Gibsonville, North Carolina, where we provide full-service luxury accommodations, event planning,  and private dining experiences in the Inn’s restaurant, Saint Jacques @ The Buke Manor Inn. 

Lil, chef and owner, studied culinary and hospitality professionally in France. The Inn’s restaurant is a four-diamond AAA rated establishment that highlights Chef Lil’s passion for creating dishes that provide pleasure, comfort, and sustenance all while transporting dinner guests on a memorable, culinary journey. Lori’s extensive hospitality expertise working in the Cruise industry combined with Chef Lil’s culinary background have transformed the 119-year old Burke Manor Inn into what it is today – nine luxurious rooms (including two cottages), a pavilion, verandas for enjoying cool evenings, lush gardens and mature trees perfect for weddings and special events, and on top of it all — a French fine-dining restaurant. 

For those seeking a luxurious getaway or a memorable celebration paired with French cuisine that blends tradition and modern flair, the Burke Manor is the perfect place to stay.

We look forward to having you and as they say in France “Bonjour.”
