Le Paon is my favorite restaurant in Palm Desert. Elegant and refined, from the warm hospitality to the beautiful setting above El Paseo. Antoine Babai and Eddie Babai treat their guests like royalty.

We just had a wonderful experience celebrating a friend’s birthday here! Absolutely loved the atmosphere and the service and of course the food was top notch!
Le Paon delivered a truly memorable experience from start to finish as we were strolling El Paseo. The atmosphere was elegant & welcoming, with a classic French charm that made the evening feel special without being overly formal. John, in a dapper tuxedo, provided exceptional service: attentive, knowledgeable, genuine, and funny! His and Anton’s wit and recommendations elevated our entire dinner.
