Our Executive ChefDiscoverLucile Plaza
Benoit Bistro, the iconic French destination by Alain Ducasse, proudly highlights the culinary leadership of Chef Lucile Plaza, whose career reflects a seamless blend of classical French tradition and the vibrant energy of New York City. Raised in the suburbs of East Paris and influenced by her dual French-Spanish heritage, Chef Lucile began her culinary path early, training at École Hôtelière de Paris – CFA Médéric and honing her craft in some of Paris’ most esteemed Michelin-starred kitchens. She joined Benoit New York in 2014, where she developed her voice within a collaborative, female-led kitchen before leading the culinary program at Le Coq Rico, earning widespread national and international acclaim—particularly for what many critics hailed as the finest poultry dishes in the United States. Returning to the Alain Ducasse family at Benoit in 2020, Chef Lucile has been recognized by New York Magazine, Forbes, Wine Spectator, and The Daily Beast for her elegant, comforting approach to French cuisine, marrying classical technique with modern sensibility and ensuring Benoit’s continued standing as a cornerstone of French-American culinary excellence.
