Le Vallauris

Attentive by every employee except our waiter.

Our meals were all very delicious as always. From the special Christmas red plates to the wonderful flavours or our meals and exceptional service we enjoyed our evening at Le Vallauris. Thank you !!

Le V is truly the most iconic restaurant in Palm Springs. It's Old Palm Springs at it's best. We are so fortunate to have it... sheer elegance ..... dining on the terrace is like no other!

Knowledgeable wine staff - great food and wonderful ambiance.

Always fabulous! This is a Palm Springs gem!

2nd time here and was just as good as the first. Patio with heaters in the winter time is great.

I was blessed to be treated for the first time to Le Vallauris! my friend Susan drove from la Jolla just to take me to lunch ! I just lost my husband and her friend last week after being together for 41 fabulous years! They totally understood and gracefully only like the French can do, treated us with total respect, attentiveness and professionalism! I have lived here for 12 years with my husband and this was a treat only comparable to Tropicale! Know I will return now many times! Que Dieu vous bénisse pour votre compassion!

Every time we go to Palm Springs we try to make it here. The food, service & ambiance are excellent as always. They have the best tun tartare ever. Their duck dishes are superb. Dessert, chocolate tart with caramel gelato was fabulous. Always a treat to eat here. Have never had a complaint

Always amazing! For special occasions or just when you want to dine out and feel special Le Vallauris is one to the Top in Palm Springs!

One of the top restaurant in Palm Springs. Words cannot describe the exceptional quality of food and service at Le Vallauris. Lobster bisque, stuffed pear salad, Colorado lamb, and the lightest soufflé are my favorites here. Our waiter spoke perfect French, very knowledgeable about the wines, and offered good recommendations on dishes to try.

The best restaurant in the Valley, outstandingly wonderful, fantastic service and the outdoor seating is kept at a perfect temperature and beautiful. It is worth every penny!!! My highest recommendation for a great evening and meal.

Everything about this restaurant is special. We are never disappointed. It is always memorable.

We had a very nice time, had a great table, and a very nice waiter. The food was excellent. The seared foie gras was excellent as was the endive salad. The venison arrived a bit undercooked which they fixed by cutting the tournedos in half to cook faster. I would have preferred they continued to cook the pieces as is to maintain its juiciness. The duck breast was quite good too. The creme brûlée was excellent. Martinis were great.

Outstanding service at one of Palm Springs best restaurants. French food isn’t really my forte so some of the dishes were hit/miss. Overall great experience. They paid special attention to my anniversary on a busy night and made it very special for that I’m very Thankful.

Always perfect!! Holiday weekend a bit more noise than usual!!

Being going here for over 40 years and have noticed a definite decline in food over the last several years. This was the worst (in fairness it was Saturday, Thanksgiving weekend). My Fois Gras was ice cold in the middle, then the white fish was dried out and the mustard sauce was also dry (obviously the plate had been sitting under the heat lamp). Oddly the potatoes were almost raw. The only good thing I had was the soufflé which was great. I can only recommend that anyone skip the meal and have a desert.

Every time I Come here I am grateful to be dining in this special place in Palm Springs. The restaurant is so romantic, the service is so French, and the cuisine is delicious. The owners are charming and always so elegant. This is an elegant restaurant that has a sort of French flair mixed with California elegant casual. The food is delicious and their lobster ravioli are something that you will crave the next morning for more.

Booked a table for thanksgiving 2018. Wonderful experience. Food was spectacular, along with great ambiance and services. The price is slightly on the high side, but it was certainly a memorable experience.

This was our 4th visit to Le Vallauris on Thanksgiving and it was excellent as always.

The Vallauris never disappoints. A meal on the patio is always magical. The food is classical French cuisine at it's best, the service is old school professional, and the atmosphere is romantic. The world class wine list makes this a destination for wine buffs as well. Thank you, Le Valleuris, for a memorable Thanksgiving.

This restaurant offers an old-fashioned idea of French food; it might have been more exciting in the 50's before people traveled. The food was unimaginative and mediocre - gared towards the older country club set who aren't really interested in good food. The wine list is outrageously expensive and the wines by the glass are limited and not exciting. Plus, I don't appreciate having my wine by the glass served in a small carafe where I can't see what they are pouring - cafeteria style. They should be pouring from the bottle at the table - especially given the prices they charge for a glass.

Service was not great: we had to ask twice for our full place settings; some of the utensils were dirty; and our wine was not served until we were most of the way through our entree course.

Also, they need to clean their carpets- they are a bit smelly.

I love them for Brunch.

Thanksgiving was terrible - my advice, stick with Brunch. I usually dine at Copley's but everyone suggested Le Vallauris for Thanksgiving this year - what a massive fail!

It started fine with the appetizers - Beet salad and pear salad - not very imaginative but afterall it is Thanksgiving and things are usually traditional. The bad news came with the entrees filet and turkey - how hard could it be, right?

Filet was ordered medium but came rare with a potato dish that was ice cold. Turkey was ordered white meat only but came with almost no white meat and almost all dark meat. Additionally the stuffing was far from fluffy but was soggy and 'soupy'.

Ok it was a busy night - I get it. We asked for the bill - time to go - lesson learned.

Unfortunately a manager came by and asked how wonderful the meal was - my reply sent him into a tailspin. When asked for more info, his response was rude and snooty "I've had the stuffing yeaterday and today and it was fabulous". Seriously? Who care if you have had it every day - I'm the one eating it and you asked my opinion. Every kitchen makes a mistake - why get argumentative? Yet further in dialog I was told that he has been in the business for 45 years and never had a complaint like mine!? Again, seriously? Who cares - I'm the guest.

As I said, I paid my bill and left.

Note to the manager of 45 years - the correct reply would have been sorry for your underwhelming experience - here is my card - please take my offer and come back again on a regurlar night and my restaurant will wow you!

Our first time in Palm Springs. Le Vallauris was recommended by several of our friends and a total stranger we met at Melvyn's. LV delivered on every level. This place is well worth the visit. We will most definitely be back.....maybe just so we can dine here again!

Le Vallauris has a historic and well-earned reputation for excellence. In an area known for exceptional dining establishments, including many gracious and genteel ones, Le Vallauris is unexcelled. Raymond and Ernesto as service professionals ensure that the best is as magnificent as it can be!

Best restaurant in Palm Springs!!! There’s no place more classy and intimate than their courtyard. Wines and food are first class.

Amazing meal in an amazing setting!! We will be back!!

Birthday dinner. Food was great , but expensive. Forty dollar wine corkage I thought is ridiculous.

We have been at Le Vallauris for both dinner and Sunday brunch. Both were excellent. Sunday brunch menu is a combination of traditional brunch (e.g.,eggs benedict) or lunch courses (steak, fish, etc). Brunch is a great value, though dinner is great for a special occasion. The service is terrific: attentive but not overly so. We make a point of going once or twice each winter season we are here.

As usual, yesterday's brunch was outstanding. Staff is attentive and friendly, but not intrusive.
Fresh flowers and tasteful table settings are appropriate for the beautifully-presented and delicious food.
Can’t wait to visit again!

Best Sunday brunch in the Valley! Excellent food and excellent service. We will be back again and again.

Very positive experience. Excellent food. Great service. A vey enjoyable evening.

The Best in the desert!

I was a bit disappointed this visit. Not as good as my last trip. I did have a daughter who is vegan and thought more options would be available, and we did call ahead of time to check.

We were celebrating a birthday. It was a perfectly lovely evening. I have never had a bad or even mediocre experience at Le Vallauris. The food, as always, perfection...

This is well worth the money

Lovely ambience. Creative menu. Good selection. Everything was delicious.

Perfect as always!

Second time to Le Vallauris. First time was nearly 10 years ago and my wife and I thought it was one of the best restaurant experiences that we have ever had (and we have eaten at some great places). This time, our second visit, we went for our 25th wedding anniversary. The ambiance was awesome, the meal amazing, the staff perfect, and the piano player excellent. Could not have been better. I would recommend this restaurant to anybody who wants a special night out.

Outstanding evening, a most in Palm Springs!

The most delicious mushroom soup ever tasted! Organic chicken was juicy and veg fresh and perfect accompaniment. Salmon also well prepared. Professional and friendly service. Y far the best dining spot in the desert towns.
