Blue by Alain Ducasse Welcomes New Executive Chef, Evens Lòpez Acclaimed Chef Brings Global Experience and Passion for World Cuisine to Bangkok’s Michelin-Starred Dining Destination

Bangkok, 15 May 2025 — Blue by Alain Ducasse, the celebrated Michelin-starred French fine dining restaurant located at Bangkok’s iconic riverside destination ICONSIAM, is proud to announce the appointment of Chef Evens Lòpez as its new Executive Chef. With an impressive international portfolio and a deep-rooted passion for contemporary gastronomy, Chef Evens brings a bold new chapter to the restaurant's ongoing culinary evolution.

Originally from Peru, Chef Evens Lòpez discovered his love for cooking at an early age, drawn to the energy, aromas, and joy of shared meals. His culinary journey began with Cordon Bleu courses in Lima and an internship in Miami, followed by formative experiences in Europe. His path took him to renowned kitchens in Italy, including Il Ristorante Trussardi Alla Scala in Milan, and then to his aspired city of Paris where he trained under acclaimed chef Yannick Alléno at the three-Michelin-starred Pavillon Ledoyen.

Chef Evens further deepened his culinary expertise when he joined the team at Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse at the Hôtel de Paris in Monaco, where he embraced the elegance of Ducasse’s iconic Mediterranean-influenced cuisine and refined his skills within Ducasse’s visionary approach to French cuisine. In no time, he rose through the ranks, becoming senior chef de partie, and was named a finalist in the prestigious San Pellegrino Young Chef Award in 2019.

Subsequent roles at London's The Clove Club, where, during the pandemic, he actively contributed to the menu for the restaurant’s reopening, and in 2022, it was awarded two Michelin stars. Then he was invited to join Dame de Pic in London as head chef. Now, Chef Evens embarks on a new chapter, taking the helm as Executive Chef at Blue by Alain Ducasse, Bangkok, where he is set to lead with his signature style and passion.

“Blue has long been celebrated as one of the finest restaurants in Bangkok and I am thrilled to be part of this exciting new chapter. Thailand is a vibrant country, rich in culture, with an ever-evolving culinary scene and I look forward to incorporating the lush landscapes and local produce into my cooking. My vision is to deliver a distinctive dining experience that sets us apart while masterfully balancing elegance with vibrant enjoyment”. – Chef Evens Lopez
