Heading out this weekend to Palm Springs…Coachella for the kids and fine dining for parents and Auntie & Uncle…
If you have not dined at Le Vallauris on the patio, it is a must.
Food is exquisite and reasonable.
Lunch, brunch or dinner and their 3 course meal is a bargain!
Good to know! After taking a look, I actually just contacted them about potentially having a wedding dinner/reception there. I’m getting hitched in Palm Springs later this year, and we’ve been debating between catering at the house we’re renting or booking out a restaurant. I’d prefer the later just because of the set-up and coordination involved, but oof, booking out a restaurant is spendyyy.
I’ve seen several weddings on the patio and they rent out the patio, and the patrons have to eat inside…
It’s such a lovely restaurant.
Had a fantastic 3 course meal for $39 of Asparagus Vichy soup, Sautéed Whitefish on a bed of veggies in a lemon beurre blanc and a soufflé with a vanilla crème…outstanding!
Friends loved their Filet Mignon with a cognac pepper corn sauce and fries and butter lettuce with walnuts and bleu cheese.
Service is top notch and what a wonderful day to spend while the craziness of Coachella is going on!
Made it to Le Vallauris a couple weekends back and had a great dinner there.
The patio is gorgeous. So peaceful and full of light and foliage. The interior looked nice as we walked through, as well, but it is a bit of a bummer that it was completely empty inside. The patio is the place to beee, I s’pose.
I didn’t grab any pictures, unfortunately, but everything was tasty! We both got the prix fixe, and there was A LOT of food. I don’t know how it happened, but I haven’t felt that full in a long time. The white tuxedo’d staff had to band together and roll us out of there.
Overall, I think this is a nice Palm Springs spot for a fancier/special dinner. Some of the food seemed to lack a bit of the finesse that makes great French food great, but everything was still enjoyable. Next time I might try the lunch - I imagine it’d be a good place to sit out for a while during the day.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Glad you enjoyed LV…
Did you have the souffle for dessert?
Love the patio!
Noooo. I half forgot and half recall that it wasn’t one of the prix fixe options. But I definitely saw it go by, just out of reach. It looked lovely. Next time, fur sure.
Every time we’ve gone for lunch or dinner, the souffle has been on the Prix fixe menu but last I was there was for Coachella, NOT oldchella, which the music of the later, is my genre and drum especial…
Where can I get for $39 for a 3 course meal in PS, at a famous lovely Tom Shepard designed circa 1920’s home with choices of lobster bisque, Ahi or Artic Char and souffle for dessert…yeah baby, rock it on!!
