Bouchon Surprise (the recipe)
Please add...
*4 cups of Friendly Service (2 cups for each girl behind the counter)
*1/4 cup of a Price Reduction on most selections
To your already...
*SCRUMPTIOUS macarons (price reduction would be nice but not necessary here)
*Mediocre TKO cookie (their rendition of an oreo); not very impressive
I loved the macarons & I'll be back for 2 dozen more the next time I'm on the strip. Their larger then usual and chewy-yumm, BUT it could use more filling for the price you pay. I LOVE me some oreos and the TKO didn't do it for me. Honestly, I didn't even finish it. The verdict, this place is over hyped. I'm sure the renowned Thomas Keller & the fact that it is inside the Venetian make people up the star power and suddenly their palates taste the quality (I'm not hatin', I'm simply observing from my experience & giving my opinion).
NONETHELESS, I like the place! I'll definitely be back but I already know of bakeries in my own area that have cheaper and comparable macarons and pastries.
