Still the gold standard in the desert”, this French-Mediterranean “gem” hits the trifecta as Palm Springs’ No. 1 for Food, Decor and Service, thanks to an “outstanding” staff, a “romantic” “old-style French” dining room opening to “beautiful”, “tree-shaded” patio and “superb”, “classic” cuisine paired with an “excellent wine list”; it’s “worth every dollar from your children’s college fund” to experience what most agree is the “best restaurant in the Coachella Valley.”
 Zagat Survey

                                “Le Vallauris, the best restaurant in the valley.”

                                                            Bob Colacello, Vanity Fair

I would rank it as one of the best in the world.”

                                                                                 Jerry Berns, 21 Club, New York City
