About this restaurant

  • Charming

Overlooking the San Jacinto Mountains in Downtown Palm Springs next to The Desert Museum, Le Vallauris serves a selection of French-inspired dishes with a Californian twist in the restaurant and the tree-shaded courtyard. Le Vallauris is located inside one of the only remaining buildings from the Desert Inn – the historic hotel credited with establishing Palm Springs as a desert resort in the early 20th century. Formerly the home of George Roberson Jr, the building was redeveloped and opened as a restaurant in the 1970s

                                                      It was a Friday night, and lots of people were dining outside. I believe the restaurant was understaffed. Service has been better. Our party of 8 enjoyed the evening but there were some quirks. 1. I called ahead of time to be sure that there was an au poirve sauce to go with our filet mignon. It was my husbands birthday and I wanted it to be special. We ordered Steak au poirve and got only steak. No sauce. We also ordered another glass of red wine and it never came till we had ended the meal. Nick was gracious to not charge us. He by the way was great. When the cake was served we were given spoons? But all in all we enjoyed our evening under the stars.

                                                      Beautiful setting, reasonably quiet (outdoors). Mushroom pasta special was very good but duck appeared to be cooked several hours before, was poorly presented, and grossly overcooked. Appropriately the cost of the duck was refunded.

                                                      What a spectacular gem we so enjoyed on vacation! The wait staff, delicious food and ambiance was so very special! I would highly recommend this special hidden gem. I recommend eating outdoors among the garden of softly lit trees that surround each table.
