| - Alright, there are very few places that would force me to get up at 6 am, wander out of the hotel I'm staying at, wander aimlessly in circles for half an hour in the Venetian to try to find it, and then have a fabulous meal.
Bouchon is a FANTASTIC place for breakfast, so my early morning alarm, stumble out of the Wynn, and confused wandering was all worth it.
First, this place is cozy. It's small, has lots of booths and tables, and overlooks a nice courtyard. Even better, upon walking in, you see giant baskets full of fluffy pastries and croissants. How tantalizing!
Next, the staff was very friendly with me (maybe because I was eating by myself??), and the food came out quickly.
Now, about the food. SO DELICIOUS. I ordered enough for three people. No kidding...
Strawberry croissant - think of a croissant sliced in half with top removed, inside filled with slices of strawberry and cream, covered in crumble, then baked. And then, as they bring out the little containers of butter and marmalade, proceed to spread said pastry with those condiments. So gooey, warm, sweet, tantalizing!
Chocolate Spiced Beignets - comes three a plate, covered in sugar, and served hot. Comes with nutella and homemade cherry jam to spread. So good. Makes a regular donut seem shameful.
Croque Madame - brioche bread with ham, cheese, and a fried egg on top and mornay sauce. I requested mine to not have ham, since I'm not a fan of ham. Comes with a large side of thin frites. Oh man. I downed this dish in minutes, it was so buttery and I loved the way the fried egg yolk spread over and into the brioche bread, which itself was drowning in cheese and butter. OMG.
I wish I had as many stomachs as a cow, I definitely want to come back and try more things. More!!
