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.

    Overpriced for the food, etc. service and food slow for a night when the restaurant was not crowded. Waiter failed to volunteer the price of the special entree was $260. WOW! Glad we asked, but it was easiky 2-3x the price of any other entrée on the menu and should’ve been disclosed. Wines good.

    An unusually quiet Sunday Brunch, however most pleasant!! Nicholas was right on spot with our table and seemed to be in tune with our style...relaxed, but perfect. As I have said many times...it's the true "Gem of the desert..." and the paradise we call home!!

    it took us 20 minutes to get a cup of coffee. Later, it took us 15 minutes to get a refill and in each case I had to track down the waiter to ask him for the coffee and then the refill. He replied well just look around. It’s very busy and I said that was a very rude response.
