| - Yum, yum, yum.
It was a gorgeous day last Monday when I was on the strip, so my friend and I decided to look for a place to have lunch outside. Mon Ami Gabi looked happening, so we popped into the Paris and added our name to the list. Our wait was supposed to be 35 minutes for a patio seat, but really it turned out to be more like 15.
The hostess told me she didn't want to be at work as she was walking us to our table, which I thought was a little odd, but I couldn't blame her. It was a beautiful day. Our waiter was on-point. He was attentive but not over-bearing.
The French bread came out hot and delicious. And the butter was room temperature - something that is key and that most places don't do. Split the loaf with my friend and had a happy start to the meal.
The menu had lots of delicious-sounding options, but I settled on the seafood crepe while my friend ordered the open-face shrimp salad sandwich with avocado. When our food came out, my friend and I switched. She hates celery and there was a lot of it in this shrimp salad. There was also a lot of shrimp and red pepper. Yum. And it wasn't too mayonnaise-y. I thought the bread under the salad was a little useless, since it got soggy, and the giant lettuce pieces were a little difficult to eat. I also didn't quite see how the avocado fit in, but I was happy to eat it. Overall, I found it yummy. The fries it came with were more like potato crisps (like the chips in the grocery store). So-so, but nothing I'd munch on regularly.
What was even yummier, though, was that seafood crepe. Holy moly. The scallops were perfect - buttery, charred on one side, and just yum. The shrimp were also grilled yumminess. There was a fair portion of seafood on the crepe. The sauce really made the dish, though. I can't even describe it other than yum, heaven, something I'd like to drink from a glass. It was thick-ish and buttery. And the peas were a perfect touch. The only complaint: The menu said the crepe came with a salad. It was more like 3 pieces of lettuce tucked on the side of the plate.
My friend is huge on dessert, so she ordered the profiterole trio. The caramel ice cream was delicious. The vanilla and chocolate were also good. The fudge sauce drizzled over the dish was heaven. And the profiteroles/pastries were airy, crisp and yummy.
I thought the lunch prices were really reasonable for Vegas. $12 for the shrimp salad and $15-17 for the crepe.
The view of the Bellagio water show made this lunch even better.
