The Magic Castle announced that a new executive chef is on board to navigate a new menu direction, while also opening an outdoor dining space. The landmark restaurant and venue announced that French-Canadian chef Benoit “Ben” LaFleche will assume the role. LaFleche spent time curating menus at Cheviot Hills’ members-only Griffin Club, and managing three restaurants at the Hilton’s Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach.
Regulars and locals know the food isn’t always the primary draw for Magic Castle, a place that has cycled through multiple chefs over the last decade, including Jason Sperber and a short stint by Jason Fullilove. LaFleche’s hiring could mark the start of a revamp for the 59-year-old venue. In 2020, the Los Angeles Times dropped a bombshell report that outlined multiple instances of alleged sexual misconduct and racism at the historic property that spanned years.
About that new outdoor dining area, it’s the first time in decades that there’s been an open-air dining option at the Magic Castle. Before it was enclosed in the 1960s, there was a second-floor balcony that eventually became the terrace dining room.
