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, Gabriel Morales, Award winning Angeleno Chef who has replaced the long time Chef Jean Paul Laire as he retired in 2024. 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 favourite place for Presidents and the Hollywood elite, and local socialites.

    My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day at this, our favorite romantic restaurant. I had the duck prosciutto salad and Monty had the beet timbale - both were excellent. For mains I had the roasted rack of lamb and he had the beef filet. They were delicious and prepared perfectly. We ended with the key lime and the cherry/pistachio - a perfect ending to a spectacular meal.

    It was a great experience. After being here a week we’ve tried many of the dishes on the menu and loved every one!! The bartenders are friendly and the cocktails are especially good. We like to sit at the bar and/or upstairs outside when it’s open. The outdoor rooftop restaurant is lovely and offers an incredible sunset and view of the mountains.
