LUCIEN is a fine-dining tasting-menu restaurant on the third floor of La Plaza La Jolla in San Diego, serving multi-course seasonal cuisine.
LUCIEN serves a 12-plus course prix-fixe menu in an intimate 30-seat dining room, blending French and Japanese techniques with California ingredients sourced from local farmers, fishermen, and ranchers. The evening is choreographed, beginning in an outdoor courtyard before moving into a darker dining space anchored by a wood-fired hearth. A bar program offers a more accessible à la carte option for walk-ins.
