With his impressive international portfolio and deep passion for contemporary gastronomy, Chef Evens opens an exciting new chapter in the restaurant's culinary evolution.

Originally from Peru, chef Evens Lòpez discovered his passion for cooking early on, fascinated by the energy, flavors, 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 led him to renowned kitchens in Italy, including Il Ristorante Trussardi Alla Scala in Milan, and finally to his dream city, Paris, where he apprenticed at the three-Michelin-starred Pavillon Ledoyen under the celebrated chef Yannick Alléno.

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. There, he experienced the elegance of Ducasse's iconic, Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and honed his skills within the framework of Ducasse's visionary approach to French cooking. He quickly rose to the position of Senior Chef de Partie and was nominated as a finalist for the prestigious San Pellegrino Young Chef Award in 2019.

He then worked at The Clove Club in London, where he actively contributed to the reopening menu during the pandemic. In 2022, the restaurant was awarded two Michelin stars. Following this, he was appointed head chef at Dame de Pic in London. Now, Chef Evens is embarking on a new chapter, taking on the role of Executive Chef at Blue by Alain Ducasse in Bangkok, where he will lead the restaurant with his distinctive style and passion.

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