"Join Us For Lunch "at "VISTA" a Lily of the Valley Resort, Cote d'Azur, France

Experience with us our meal with noted and talented Executive Chef Vincent Maillard at the five star ultra luxury resort and spa near St. Tropez on the Cote d'Azur, France. Set alongside the beautiful pool high above the beach with an amazing view out over the Mediterranean Sea.
The air was filled with both that fresh sea air with the hints of the star jasmine filling the breezes. The ambiance is sort of a cross between modern, traditional and, well, the Hanging Gardens.
Vincent Maillard is a chef we have been eating with since his time at twenty one starred uber chef Allain Ducasse (max of 3 per restaurant!) at Ducasse's own personal country inn at La Bastide de Moustiers in Haute Provence, France. He has worked side by side with some of France's other top chefs and brings all that knowledge and skill sets to "Vista" restaurant. He focuses on real Mediterranean cuisine drawing on many cultures but making it all his own. This is not food designed to be art, but uses art to create great tastes and severs plates that fill you up. He is remarkably creative and yet never fussy. He sources locally and spends time getting to know local suppliers and working with them to obtain the best ingredients. So you can at least visually experience our experience. But there is nothing like the real thing, so if you get the chance here is the information to make your own reservations and be prepared for a treat.

More about Chef Maillard: Following a period with Patrick Henriroux at La Pyramide just outside Lyon, he came south to join Alain Ducasse's team at Le Louis XV in Monte Carlo: a three-Michelin-starred restaurant.
Two years later in 2000, at the age of just 25, he was handed the reins of Alain Ducasse's Provence inn La Bastide de Moustiers. With a unique menu featuring produce from nearby markets and the kitchen garden, life here was a joy for this produce-loving chef and he earned a Michelin star in 2002 for his efforts.
In 2004, he returned to his native Burgundy to take over from his mentor Jean Crotet, who had sold his Relais & Châteaux de Levernois hotel and restaurant. He stayed here for five years, retaining the establishment's Michelin star.
In 2008, Alain Ducasse contacted him to suggest he become executive chef at famous luxury Hotel Byblos in Saint-Tropez. Here, he was responsible for the hotel's entire catering function: "Spoon" (a global chain of restaurants by Alain Ducasse), "Rivea" at Byblos, room service and Restaurant "le B", as well as for other Floirat Group restaurants in Monaco, Normandy and on the Basque Coast.
In 2019, together with his loyal assistant Jean-Luc Gabion, he came on-board with the Lily of the Valley adventure as Head Chef and Catering Manager. He even designed the entire kitchen and choice if table ware and design. The establishment's philosophy aligns beautifully with Vincent Maillard's values of respecting produce, nature, authenticity and wellness. It is a concept that fuels his appetite and taste for challenge.
He is committed to showcasing the produce of the Mediterranean and sharing the stories of men and women, farmers, fishermen, market gardeners and other local produce enthusiasts - all in harmony with our natural surroundings at this beautiful escape set between land and sea that changes with the seasons.
