Established in the heart of Palm Springs at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains, Le Vallauris has been one of the highest rated restaurants in the Coachella Valley since its inception in 1973. The exquisite cuisine at Le Vallauris is prepared by Executive Chef, Jean-Paul Lair, who has graced the restaurant for over 25 years. The Historic Landmark was built in 1927 as a home for the Roberson family, who managed Palm Springs' first hotel, The Desert Inn. Many grand parties were held in the house for guests such as Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong and many more. Later on, when the restaurant was established it became a favorite place for Presidents and the Hollywood elite, and local socialites.

    We love Le Vallauris! The energy is always great, I recommend sitting in the outside patio it’s beautiful. On colder nights they have heaters and it’s very comfortable you won’t be cold at all! The food is ALWAYS incredible. Worth every penny!

    We love dining here. Last night we both had the beef cheeks, which were delicious. The crispy scallops were also good. Thank you Raymond for the recommendation! I had a wonderful crème brûlée for dessert while my husband enjoyed the chocolate pots de crème. Service was excellent. Give. What other restaurants are charging these days, this place is a good value.
