The three restaurants

Vista, Brigantine, and Pépé form the core of Lily of the Valley's dining program. Brigantine showcases traditional Italian cuisine at a terrace at the water's edge, featuring Northern and Southern Italian flavors. Pépé serves as the beach restaurant with a chic, relaxed atmosphere, offering a menu with choices for both children and adults, accessed directly from the fine sandy beach of Plage de Gigaro. Vista completes the trio, each venue open to hotel guests and external diners.

Head chef Vincent Maillard and culinary philosophy

Head chef Vincent Maillard has led Lily of the Valley's food and beverage operations since the hotel's opening. Trained by renowned French chefs Alain Ducasse and Guy Savoy, Maillard brings deep expertise in fine dining and Mediterranean cooking. His cuisine balances simplicity with sophistication, drawing inspiration from the region's seasonal rhythms and local producers—farmers, fishermen, and market gardeners with whom he maintains close professional relationships.

The culinary philosophy centers on healthy, luxurious gastronomy. Dishes feature Mediterranean staples—scallops, langoustines, and caviar—prepared in ways that honor wellness principles without compromising on taste. This approach aligns with the hotel's overall wellness mission, where fine dining becomes synonymous with balanced, sustainable meals that satisfy both the palate and nutritional goals.

Beach Club and seasonal dining

The private beach at Plage de Gigaro, which stretches for six kilometers with fine sand and forest edges, hosts the Beach Club. Pépé restaurant operates from this beachfront location, capturing the spirit of summer vacations with light-colored wood interiors and an unpretentious atmosphere. The Beach Club provides dining in the open air alongside sunbathing and recreation. Maillard's menus shift with the seasons, responding to ingredient availability and the agricultural calendar of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
