Louis Vuitton has once again elevated the culinary scene in Saint-Tropez by reopening its seasonal restaurant, “Arnaud Donckele & Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton,” for the summer of 2025. Situated on the terrace of the White 1921 Hotel, nestled between the Vieux Port and Place des Lices, this gastronomic haven seamlessly blends haute cuisine with the brand’s signature aesthetic.

A Culinary Collaboration Rooted in Excellence

The restaurant is helmed by two luminaries of French gastronomy: Arnaud Donckele, the youngest chef to earn three Michelin stars, and renowned pastry chef Maxime Frédéric. Both hailing from Normandy, their partnership is a testament to shared values of authenticity, simplicity, and a deep respect for artisanal craftsmanship.

Donckele’s menu is a tribute to the Mediterranean, featuring dishes crafted from locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Highlights include a rustic yet refined tomato tart, wild prawns accompanied by verveine-scented sorbet, and roast chicken with herbed vegetables and potato mousseline . Frédéric complements the savory offerings with reimagined French desserts, such as a raspberry pavlova and an iced vacherin tart.

An Ambience Reflecting Louis Vuitton’s Elegance

The restaurant’s decor is inspired by Louis Vuitton’s “By The Pool” resort collection, featuring orange hues that replace the previous season’s blue tones. The space is adorned with the iconic LV monogram, floral details, and elements from the Objets Nomades collection, including Zanellato/Bortotto Lanterns and Origami Flowers by Atelier oï . Natural materials like stone, wood, and ceramic create an inviting atmosphere that mirrors the brand’s appreciation for artisanal excellence.

A Seasonal Destination for Gourmands

Open daily from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, the restaurant offers a range of dining experiences. Afternoon guests can indulge in sweet treats like Louis Vuitton’s signature chocolate bars and the iconic tarte tropézienne, adorned with the brand’s monogram. Dinner service requires reservations and presents a curated menu that celebrates the flavors of the Mediterranean.

With its harmonious blend of culinary artistry and luxury fashion, “Arnaud Donckele & Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton” stands as a testament to Louis Vuitton’s commitment to offering unparalleled experiences that transcend traditional boundaries.
