Louis Vuitton's Saint-Tropez Restaurant Is Back With a Michelin Star

Summary

• Louis Vuitton has opened its Arnaud Donckele & Maxime Frédéric restaurant in Saint-Tropez for the third consecutive year.
• The restaurant returns with a newly awarded Michelin star.

The Arnaud Donckele & Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton restaurant has set up shop at the White 1921 Saint-Tropez for the third consecutive year. This time, however, the bougie dining locale is back with a newly earned Michelin star.

Chef Arnaud Donckele and chef pâtissier Maxime Frédéric have unveiled a seasonal menu guided by three pillars: international food, disruptive dishes, and cultural meals. The chefs, both of whom are from Normandy, place a special emphasis on French and Mediterranean cuisine, but international flavors contribute to the menu’s travel-by-plate mentality. Among the best-rated dishes are the Wagyu beef, which is served in a seasoned broth, and the grilled blue lobster, which is dressed with shiso-infused sauce.

The Louis Vuitton restaurant features all sorts of nods to the French megabrand’s core identity, including trunk-shaped side tables, Monogram-inspired tableware from the “Art de la Table” collection, and even desserts modeled after the label’s signature shapes and motifs. The alfresco dining area is filled with white and blue sofas, which are enclosed by lush greenery decorated with logomanic flowers.

The Arnaud Donckele & Maxime Frédéric at Louis Vuitton restaurant is now open at Hotel White 1921 in Saint-Tropez, France, and reservations can be made on the brand’s website. Take a look inside the restaurant in the gallery above.
