Louis Vuitton continues culinary evolution with St Tropez restaurant
Michelin star-quality dining in the south of France.

FOR DECADES NOW, Louis Vuttion’s monogrammed luggage has been synonymous with luxury travel, and now the storied maison is providing the destination too.
Situated in the White 1921 Hotel in St Tropez, Louis Vutton’s expanded presence into hospitality is being entrusted to Michelin-starred chef, Mary Sacko, the head of acclaimed MoSuke in Paris. Named Mory Sacko at Louis Vuitton, the seaside restaurant takes its cues from Africana and Japanese influences, underpinned by the savoir-faire of French gastronomy.
Lunch offerings have been reported to include a gourmet interpretation of the Japanese lunch box known as eikiben, featuring glass containers on a bespoke wooden tray.
Sacko’s influence extends beyond the vegetable-forward menu — the restaurant has been painstaking decorated in collaboration with the maison to include travertine, wood, rope and rattan. A verdant green wall has been sculpted to display the Louis Vuitton monogram emblems.
This isn’t the first Louis Vuitton has ventured into the culinary world. The maison’s Osaka flagship store houses café, Le Café V, and restaurant, Sugalabo V — the latter only seating an intimate few diners each night
