Chef: Elijah Arizmendi
Chef Elijah Arizmendi is the chef and owner of Lucien, an intimate tasting-menu restaurant in La Jolla that has quickly become one of the most exciting new additions to San Diego’s dining scene. At just 30 seats, Lucien offers a deeply personal dining experience centered around hyper-seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers and fishermen across Southern California.
Chef Arizmendi’s career has taken him through some of the most celebrated kitchens in the world, including Michelin-starred restaurants such as Per Se, Robuchon, and Restaurant Daniel. Drawing from this foundation of classical technique, his cooking blends French and Japanese influences with the vibrant produce and coastal ingredients that define California cuisine.
We’re honored to welcome Chef Elijah to Sage Hill Ranch Gardens for a special evening celebrating the connection between farm and kitchen. With the harvest from the fields as inspiration, guests can expect a thoughtful and beautifully crafted menu that reflects the season and the incredible ingredients grown right here in our region.
