Finally broke out of the buffet routine to enjoy some brunch at Bouchon!
Love love love the financiers (those little almond French cake thingys) for snacking while you're waiting to be seated. It's both a blessing and a curse to have that available when you're waiting 20 or so minutes, but it sure made the wait time bearable and faster. Of course, the table bread they bring out after you wait for your food isn't too bad either. ;] So much carb yumminess before the main meal arrives!
We ordered the popular Poulet et des Gaufres (roasted chicken with bacon-chive waffle, maple syrup,Tahitian vanilla bean butter & sauce Chasseur at $26.50) and the Pain Perdu (brioche French toast with blueberry compote, served with vanilla bean butter & Crown maple syrup at $14). I liked the chicken and waffles more than the french toast, and the sauce definitely brings out the taste in both the chicken and waffles. BF loved that the chicken was lean and not full of fat.
Bouchon is known for their baked goods, so we added a side order of chocolate croissant ($4.25). We ended up taking it to-go since we were too full from our meal to even try a bite. When I tried it later on that day, I felt a bit miffed that it wasn't anything special for the high price tag! Looked just like the chocolate croissant sold at the Bouchon Bakery on the casino floor of the Venetian and that one cost less too! It didn't taste fresh and flaky, as it would if it come just out of the oven. Baguette Cafe definitely has the better croissant.
Bouchon is a bit hidden...they're not on the main casino floor. Ask security by the elevators if you happen to get lost.
