Obdiel Luna, Chef
At La Bicyclette in Carmel, Executive Chef Obdiel Luna Narciso brings more than just skill to the kitchen—he brings a story. Guided by the seasons and inspired by the landscapes of Europa, his cooking reflects a deep reverence for the land, the people, and the quiet beauty found in a well-prepared meal.
His dishes are rooted in French-Italian country tradition, yet they carry the subtle imprint of his travels and memories—each plate a conversation between past and present. Whether it's a dish inspired by a quiet village in Piedmont or vibrant market in Biarritz, Chef Luna lets the ingredients speak, always seeking out the finest local bounty to bring those stories to life.
At La Bicyclette, Luna isn't just leading the kitchen—he's helping shape the soul of the restaurant. His goal is to be part of the full Bicyclette experience, where food, ambiance, and connection come together to create something memorable.
"For me, cooking is about more than technique—it's about bringing a sense of place and history to the table, and making people feel truly at home in the moment."
