Lucia Restaurant & Bar
Lucia Restaurant & Bar, located at the heart of Bernardus Lodge & Spa, celebrates the artistry of seasonal, artisanal cuisine under the direction of Executive Chef Gus Trejo. Chef Gus’ menus emphasize ingredients sourced directly from the surrounding local farms, and the lodge’s own gardens, crafting cuisine that reflects the rhythms of the region and highlights natural flavors in every dish. From hand-made pastas to inventive small plates, each creation showcases the depth of culinary craftsmanship and a commitment to sustainability.
Complementing the food, Bernardus Lodge & Spa boasts a 5,000-bottle cellar curated by Master Sommelier Roland Micu. Each bottle is thoughtfully paired with dishes, offering guests a guided journey through the estate’s celebrated Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc, alongside rare vintages and global selections. Together, Chef Gus’s seasonal menus and the Master Sommelier’s pairings create an immersive dining experience, where every meal is a celebration of place, precision, and taste.
