| - The Paris lunch buffet is awesome and one of the best in Vegas. If not for the Wynn, I would have named this buffet as the best in Vegas. I love their set-up and how they cateorize each section by the different areas of France. Being able to sit in a "village" setting under a faux blue sky was nice, but I think that they could have increased the lighting since it seemed a bit dark.
It was my first time there and I had some things not usually found at other casino buffets. They had a really delicious roast duck with a sweet glaze...it was just the tiniest bit dry, but it was still good enough that I had two breast pieces and a leg. I also liked their salmon in the creamy leek sauce. The salmon skin was crisp on top and it was surprisingly tender in the center. Unlike many other buffets, the salmon was not dry and over-cooked. The best dish out of the entire buffet, though, was the mussels in saffron sauce, which was amazingly good. Even with all the food I had just eaten, I had two full bowls of these mussels. Dip the sauce with their fresh bread (yes, its the cardinal rule of buffets to not fill up on carbs, but the bread here, was fresh and delicious) and its out of this world.
I also liked their fresh crepe station, though I wished that they had savory as well as sweet fillings. Strawberries and bananas were missing as filling options (though they did have blueberries and some really gross, gooey apple filling), though they were VERY generous with their nutella. Having a nutella crepe with whipped cream and slivered almonds on top was the best way to end a meal here.
I can't remember the dessert section too much, since my dessert consisted of the crepe. I think I might have had some creme brulee there, but it wasn't anything that stood out in my mind.
Overall, an excellent buffet. Service was good, though a little slow. The line wasn't too long when we went and we were seated fairly quickly. Le Village Buffet has a good selection of interesting foods and its definitely one of the buffets I'd return to!
