The exquisite cuisine at Le Vallauris is prepared by Executive Chef, Gabriel Morales, Award winning Angeleno Chef who has replaced the long time Chef Jean Paul Laire as he retired in 2024.

Overall, a great dining experience. We had a private little nook that allowed us to enjoy good conversation and still enjoy the atmosphere of the live music. The meal and service were both outstanding. We did have one glitch with desert, but the server handled it well and most of the table didn't notice. 10/10 would recommend if you are in the area and enjoy find dining to give Wally's a try.

What a gem! Terrific food where some old standards are given a little twist. The General Tso cauliflower is unrecognizable…in a good way. They do a thing with chicken in a deviled egg that makes you wonder which came first. Staff prompt.attentive and friendly; prices reasonable. In a great spot for doing some home design shopping, then discussing over dinner. Four stars.

When Walter Morgan first opened the La Quinta Hotel in 1926, his dream was to provide a welcoming desert escape for his friends and family. Throughout the ensuing decades, that dream has blossomed, and today TWENTY6 sits at the heart of La Quinta Resort providing the time-honored hospitality that Mr. Morgan so loved. Our focus is chef-driven modern American cuisine, using local, sustainable sources whenever possible. Our passion is providing exceptional service, our hallmark since 1926.
