Bouchon is what I imagine for a lackadaisical early Sunday morning in France. By early, I'm referring to Las Vegas (and probably France) hours: think 10am as the crack of dawn.
The inside decoration is clean and modernly French cafe vibe. Cream colored walls, clean white tables, simple black chairs and large black french window panes looking out to the patio dining area.
After your order is taken, a warm epi bread is placed on the table with sweet creamy butter and fresh cherry jam.
In particular, I really enjoyed the chicken waffles. The chicken is impossibly tender with the juices breaking out with every bite, and the skin is so crunchy and the batter is perfect. The chicken and waffles come with a vanilla bean butter, a gravy boat and a maple syrup boat. The waffles are deliciously savory and have a great crunch.
I also liked the sourdough waffles with strawberries. There is a slight sour kick and goes perfect when paired with the vanilla bean butter and maple syrup.
The croque madame was also wonderful. The brioche bread is toasted with ham and cheese in the middle. A fried egg, sunny side up, is placed on top and overloaded with sauce mornay. The side of pomme frites is quite large and quite possibly not a 'side'.
A wonderful brunch in a beautiful setting.
