One of my Facebook friends mentioned Bonjour Bakery & Deli so I bookmarked it last week. Today I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop in.
Before I start there are two things you should know:
1. 3 weeks in Lyon, France more or less ruined me on French food in the United States. Who knew something as simple as bread and butter could be so much better!
2. I stopped in about 2:30PM and didn't feel like hanging around so just got a couple of things To-Go.
I got the two things I remember being so common and so much better in France.... A chocolate croissant and a baguette. The croissant didn't make it home and there are little flakes of it in my car. (I never eat in my car!) I mentioned the time of day because every time I had a croissant in France, it was in the morning. It was a tiny bit less melt in your mouth than in France but I'll bet that's only because it wasn't fresh out of the oven and still warm like the first batch of the day. It was definitely best I've had in Vegas so far. I haven't tried the bread yet but hopefully it's equally good. (Note: I did confirm croissants are made with French butter... which is also better than typical American butter!)
The young woman was pleasant and helpful and as it turns out, actually from France...and of course tall, thin and beautiful.... life is so unfair!
The seating area is pretty small. I didn't count the tables but maybe six?? They had quite a few savory items on the menu and a kitchen behind the counter which I didn't really look at since I was focused on the contents of the glass case.
I will be going back to try the French Burger because, yes, the best hamburger I ever had was also in France!
