| - This review will cover the experience of my first visit but the food of both of my visits.
I have been to the Bazaar in LA multiple times, so when I finally had a chance to go try Bazaar Meat in Las Vegas, I couldn't pass it up. It's located in the newly re-designed SLS hotel in the corner of the hotel. Right outside of the restaurant there is a gigantic lit up "LIFE" for all those basic instagram'ers out there.
I got in at 5:30pm, right when they opened so they told me to hang out at the bar. I ordered the Passion Up cocktail (which I couldn't find the second time). This drink is truly unique, that passion fruit foam is amazing, and the drink itself was a perfect combination of sweet, tarty and strong too. Too bad I had a busted lip at the time so it burned every time I had a sip, but it was worth it.
Before I got to finish the drink, they told me that my table for 1 was ready. Just a heads up, if you order from the bar, you have to close the tab at the bar, so might be easier just to wait to get the drink at the table next time.
Once I was seated, I was overwhelmed by this gigantic menu and additional tasting menus, which made the decision to pick what I wanted to eat even more difficult. Given that I was eating alone, I had to pick the best of the best. (I only realized there was a back side to the gigantic menu on my second visit, wow...)
(Food is a combination of my two visits, no I did not eat all this alone)
Sea Urchin: A super light starter, really fresh uni and you can really taste the ginger. I'm starting to like uni more and more so I definitely enjoyed this dish.
Croquetas de Pollo: I only got this for the shoe, have tried this at the LA location but it was really creamy, had the perfect crunch to it and a really nice contrasting texture. Another really good starter to share.
Beef & Parmesan Grissini: Got this both visits, comes with 5 sticks so perfect for sharing and that cheese sauce is sooooo good and cheesy. At first, I was pretty stingy about using the sauce, but I had to add more and more once I realized how good it was. The washugyu beef has a really good texture to it and flavor, definitely one of my favorites.
Classic Tartare: Got this both visits as well, they show you the dish at first and then someone mixes everything for you and puts it on a marble plate, served with 6 dinner rolls which are perfect to eat with the tartare. The flavor was amazing, with all the sauces, one of my favorite dishes as well.
Rosewood, Wagyu/Black Angus Steak: Minimum order was 3lbs so we shared it among 5 people and wow, this was pretty good steak. Not sure if it was worth the price point, but I can definitely appreciate a good piece of meat. They serve it to you two different ways so you can try each of the flavors.
Robuchon: They aren't kidding when they said butter, butter and more butter with some potatoes. This is probably the creamiest, most delicious mashed potatoes I've ever had. One of my friends even got a dish with regular mash potatoes and her didn't stand a chance. Definitely need to share as it is very filling, perfect to go along with any of the other steaks.
Morcilla with Uni: Probably the most plain dish of the night, thought I would try something else with uni, but the blood sausage overpowered the dish with it's flavor and texture.
Now to the last two and my two MUST GETS (if you like foie gras):
The Foieffle: Air waffle, foie espuma, peanut butter and honey, how can you go wrong with this?? When you cut up the waffle in half, the ooze from the peanut butter and honey comes out so be careful! This combination is an orgasm in your mouth. I could have eaten 2-3 easily.
S'mores: A play off the classic S'mores from those good ol' bonfire nights. Foie Gras, Chocolate, Marshmallow, Graham Crackers. You get 4 per dish and I would make sure you cherish each one. After I finished the first two, I could help but wanting to save the last two. And when you finish the last one, you just want another order. It's a never ending cycle so make sure you're ready to stop all the urges.
Service was amazing both trips, super professional and respectful staff. They made both experiences amazing for me and I will definitely be back. One of the waiters, John, talked about a tasting menu for $150 with a minimum group of 4 people that I have to get. Until next time!
