About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining

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
Open for dinner every evening at 5 pm and brunch on Sundays, enjoy live music performances and the daily changing menu featuring French-inspired seasonal dishes and favorites including Dover Sole, Maine Lobster Ravioli, and Veal Filet.

Dress code strongly recommended.

We were seated next to the only other occupied table in the main dining room… they had 2 noisy kids so it wasn’t a peaceful dining experience…. It didn’t ruin our dinner but it would have been better to sit the 2 parties far apart

Both branzinos had no flavor unfortunately. Great service. Shame to spend a hundred dollars on branzinos at such a nice place and for it to not have enough flavor. Everything else was super tasty and prepared perfectly.

It was our first time dining at Le Vallauris Restaurant in Palm Springs (Soho House) and I have to admit it was wonderful. The hostess was welcoming. She gave us the impression that they were actually happy to have us dining with them. Our table was lovely, outside under the trees and the lights. The service was attentive, but not intrusive. And our dinner was delicious. We started with the Hamachi, Roast Beets with Burrata and the House Smoked Salmon. Our entrées consisted of Escargot (for our 6 year old son), Braised Beef Cheeks with Cabernet reduction and Roasted Half Duck with cherry sauce. The flavors were wonderful. The dishes were classic but fresh and not dated and the textures of the different dishes were amazing. The fish almost jumped off the plate. The Escargot was a yummy treat. And our meats were cooked perfectly with sauces that complimented them and didn’t interfere or overwhelm how great they were prepared. A simple dessert of a homemade sorbet trio sent us out of the door very happy. Cheers to Chef Gabe Morales and his team for a fantastic evening. We can’t wait to visit again the next time we visit Palm Springs!

We had another wonderful experience at this restaurant. They had a halibut special that was absolutely unbelievable. My wife had the beef cheeks. It was a great anniversary celebration. Thank you to Katarina for her wonderful attention.

It was so good under the trees. It started raining and we all ate right under it. It was raining lightly. It was so hot and the service was so good and the food was so good.

I came here to celebrate my birthday dinner last night with another friend as well. Although, we enjoyed it, but the food wasn’t cooked how we ordered it. My friend ordered Medium on his steak and had raw spots. My rack of lamb was suppose to be medium rare and came out pretty much medium. The roasted duck was a bit dry. The food was good though. I’m a bit disappointed for a high restaurant to not have it together. I’m a chef and can cook to perfection. Our server Dustin didn’t help us much and I felt that he wasn’t friendly at times. Emilliano helped us more than he did. I don’t think I’ll return.

Nice restaurant. Food was excellent with lots of diverse choices. My waiter was kind of boring with almost no interaction except to place my order.
