| - On my last day in Vegas, I had to try Bouchon before heading out because I have heard a lot of good things about the place. We ended up going for a late breakfast and it was simply the best breakfast I have ever had!
I ordered the Croque Madame mainly because of everyone going on and on about the French Fries they serve with it. I mean... everyone talks about them like they are some kind of narcotic and you need your fix to through the day. I waited eagerly for the plate to come to the table, grabbed a few fries, and... they were very good, but definitely not as good as everyone is saying. Maybe I hyped it too much, but I was expecting more.
Seriously though... To be honest, F the French Fries. The real star is the Croque Madame. That has to be THE best breakfast I have ever eaten. Toasted ham and cheese were very good, the brioche was even better, but I think the combination of everything with the slightly runny sunny side up egg and mornay sauce puts this way over the top.
I normally don't like to go to a particular restaurant twice in a single visit while in Vegas, but I think for this place I might make an exception (dinner one night and breakfast in the morning before leaving for home). The atmosphere is definitely casual (breakfast), there were both couples and families, and it doesn't have the snooty vibe to it. It is a hidden gem sitting in the other tower at the Venetian, but its a great place to great food. I will be back the next time I am in Vegas.
