The Louis Vuitton Restaurant in Saint-Tropez returns for summer 2025, helmed by Michelin-starred chefs Arnaud Donckele and Maxime Frédéric. Discover a sublime fusion of gastronomy, design, and Riviera glamour
A Fashion House Feeds the Soul
When Louis Vuitton isn’t crafting iconic trunks or reinventing the runway, it’s redefining luxury hospitality—one bite at a time. Nowhere is that more evident than at the Louis Vuitton Restaurant in Saint-Tropez, a seasonal culinary hideaway where the savoir-faire of fashion meets the soul of Mediterranean cuisine. Reopened for summer 2025, this exclusive dining destination—tucked elegantly into the White 1921 Hotel—invites jet-setters, epicureans, and aesthetes alike to savor something far more memorable than just a meal.
A Powerhouse Pairing: Donckele x Frédéric
Let’s talk star power. At the helm are Arnaud Donckele, the three-Michelin-star magician known for his poetic sauces and deep respect for terroir, and Maxime Frédéric, the patisserie prodigy whose confections are as architectural as they are irresistible. Together, they form a rare culinary duet, choreographing an experience that is sensual, refined, and utterly Vuitton.
The menu—an ode to the Riviera—features dishes with lyrical names like “Soleil Levant” and “Millefeuille Feu d’Artifice.” Expect unexpected fusions: a sea bream ceviche dancing with citrus and floral notes, or a sushi roll reimagined with Camargue rice. Every element is crafted with precision, passion, and a whisper of the sea breeze.
A Setting Straight from a Dream
Of course, this is Louis Vuitton, which means the ambiance isn’t an afterthought—it’s part of the experience. The décor is a love letter to the brand’s “By the Pool” resort collection, awash in serene blues and sun-bleached whites. Think striped ceramics, sculptural wood, natural stone, and lanterns from the Objets Nomades collection that cast a golden glow as twilight falls over the port. Located between the Vieux Port and Place des Lices, the restaurant’s terrace is the place to see and be seen—preferably while sipping a chilled glass of rosé and nibbling on one of Frédéric’s now-iconic “LV” desserts, sculpted to perfection like a couture dress.
Why the Louis Vuitton Restaurant Is This Summer’s Must-Visit
More than a restaurant, this is a curated summer ritual—a sensorial escape that encapsulates everything the Louis Vuitton name represents: timeless elegance, boundary-pushing creativity, and a devotion to craftsmanship. It’s also an Instagrammer’s dream and a gastronome’s paradise. But above all, it’s a place of joy—an ephemeral haven where fashionistas and food lovers converge to indulge in a moment that feels both intimate and iconic.
Plan Your Pilgrimage
The Louis Vuitton Restaurant in Saint-Tropez is open from May 1 to September 30, 2025, with limited seating and sky-high demand. Advance reservations are not just recommended—they’re essential. If you’re planning a Riviera escape this season, make sure this culinary jewel is at the top of your itinerary.
