LUCIEN is a 30-seat fine dining restaurant opening early 2025 in downtown La Jolla. Helmed by Chef Elijah Arizmendi, whose career has taken him through acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurants such as Per Se, Joel Robuchon, and Daniel, LUCIEN will offer guests a tasting menu experience that embodies Elijah’s vision for Californian cuisine. At LUCIEN, we’ll be celebrating local farms and fishermen – taking only the best ingredients at their peak in seasonality and elevating them through both modern mastery and time-honored techniques.
