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.

    Worst service ever. Waited 20 minutes for someone to come say hello. :30 minutes for appetizers which were wrong another :30 for main courses. Food was fine but service was abominable and they didn’t even seem to care

    The is absolutely my favorite Restaurant in Palm Springs! Amazing ambience, great food and the best service in town! I recommend requesting Raymond! He’s professional and can banter if you in the mood. Their brunch is the best value if you want to try them out before a special occasion or a romantic Tuesday Dinner. Enjoy!

    We found the service not friendly and below the standards that we would expect from an upscale restaurant like Le Vallauris

    Service impeccable. Ambiance, unbelievable. What a garden! We were splitting a main course and asked that they bring an extra plate, and they split it in the kitchen and brought what seemed like 2 full main courses. This won us over. Sommelier was very helpful. Only problem, oysters not great--- did not seem really very 'alive,' and certainly no brininess. Maybe just a mediocre batch.

    Fantastic! Food was amazing. Best lobster ravioli I’ve ever had. Service was wonderful, very friendly, very responsive. Som was great, explained a couple alternatives, and actually suggested a less expensive wine to pair with dinner. Wine list was broad and reasonably priced. If we lived nearby, we would return often.
