On our recent trip to Vegas we stopped here on two consecutive days and were able to get a good sampling of the Patisserie's menu of delicous French desserts. (There is also a Payard's Bistro attached next door).
The Parisian macarons here are truly amazing and their fruit tarts and other fresh pastries are culinary works of art. (They also offer sandwiches and sweet & savory crepes prepard to order).
We stuck with the sweets and ordered a good sampling on our 2 visits including:
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream - Smooth and creamy with crunchy dark chocolate chips. This had the perfect balance of bittersweet & tart.
Banana Tart - This was sublime. The flavors and artistry of this little dessert were amazing with banana & vanilla rum pastry cream on top of a sweet, thin tart dough .
Seasonal Strawberry Tart - Very solid. Beautiful fresh, ripe strawberries perched atop of sweet custard & fresh tart.
Parisian Macarons - My favorite part of this Patisserie and what everyone is currently clamoring for. They can't keep the coffee macarons in stock and on our 1st visit they were already long sold out before we arrived hence our 2nd visit the very next day. We tried atleast 6-7 different flavors but my favorites were the red currant, chocolate, coffee & passion fruit. You could best describe these as the lightest, most sophisticated and perfect Oreos for adults. Just pair them with a cup of fresh, hot dark roast coffee and you're golden.
The amazing presentations, flavors, artistry and artisan quality of everything we sampled was truly impressive and I will definitely return to try the fresh crepes and offerings from the chocolate counter along with another round of macarons the very next time I'm in Vegas.
