| - I had bookmarked Baguette Cafe quite awhile ago based on the stellar reviews and I finally had the opportunity to give it a try today. When we walked in we were warmly greeted by the owner, Olivier. He was super nice and immediately asked if it was our first time. After we told him it was, he gave us a "tour" of the menu. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and he took the time to chat with us and learn our names. We sat down and chatted for a few minutes before they brought our food out.
I got the chipotle which consisted of chicken, avocado, bacon, melty cheese, and a delicious chipotle sauce all on a warm baguette. It was stunning! It was served with a small salad with a fantastic house vinaigrette. My husband got the soup and sandwich combo. The shrimp bisque was surprisingly delicious and cheesy. It was served in a cute little mug with a side of croutons. My husband also got half of a Moroccan sandwich. This was a special sandwich which was not featured on the menu, but Olivier was nice enough to tell us about. It had chicken, three types of roasted peppers, creamy goat cheese, and a house made garlic aioli. We were both very happy with our decisions.
We also tried some drinks, since it was a cafe. I had an iced chai tea and was very pleased. It definitely had a subtle flavor, but was exactly what I wanted. My husband got a blended Thai tea, which is such a fantastic idea! It was also very light and refreshing. We decided that we absolutely must try something from the dessert case before we left. Olivier explained that they make everything fresh daily and everything looked amazing. We settled on a slice of the pear tart. It was almost too pretty to eat! It had a very delicate flavor and wasn't too sweet. It was really the perfect treat after our meal.
Overall, this place is fantastic. You get one of a kind service and delicious food for a fantastic price. Everything we tried only came to about $20, can't beat that in Vegas! They work hard to make everything fresh daily and actually get to know their customers. I am still stunned that a place like this actually exists in Las Vegas! Oh we will be back and I am certainly recommending this place to everyone I know.
