Louis Vuitton Reopens Seasonal Restaurant at Saint-Tropez’s White 1921 Hotel

Louis Vuitton has reopened its seasonal restaurant in Saint-Tropez, France. Situated on the coast between the harborfront Vieux Port and the Place des Lices public square, the restaurant is just a stone’s throw from the brand’s store, located within the White 1921 Hotel.

Officially dubbed “Arnaud Donckele & Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton,” the restaurant is named after the respective chef and pâtissier helming its menu. Both hailing from Normandy, Donckele and Frédéric took the reins of the restaurant last season to essentially overhaul its menu.

Donckele, who is the youngest chef in history to be awarded three Michelin stars, sought to use local ingredients to craft dishes simultaneously rustic and creative that reflect the Provencal region in which Saint-Tropez is located. Among the menu’s offerings are a classic tomato cart, prawns served alongside verveine-scented sorbet and a roast chicken with herby vegetables and potatoes mousseline, a rich approach to the mashed potato.

Frédéric, meanwhile, uses his talents to reimagine timeless French desserts, like a raspberry pavlova or an ice cream cake made with vacherin, a type of cow’s milk cheese.

In addition to the menu, the restaurant has received its annual makeover. Swapping out the blue hues of last season, orange – specifically the shade from the LV By the Pool Resort collection – appears throughout the seating, decor and dinnerware. The distinct LV monogram dots the space, while floral and coral details nod to the French Riviera.
