| - This is one of the restaurants my husband really wanted to visit while on our Vegas vacation last week. We were just going to grab some pastries to go so we could munch on them at our leisure; however, we decided to go full-on breakfast at the last minute.
First of all, the restaurant itself is just lovely. Elegant, blue decor puts you at ease as soon as you walk in. There is also a very nice outdoor seating area if you are so inclined. Service was great. Our server was very expeditious in taking our order, bringing our food, and checking on us throughout the meal.
The first thing we did was sample one of their pastries on special, which was a chocolate almond croissant. This was absolutely amazing. The perfect way to start out breakfast. They also have a special deal where you can get 4 pastries for $13, which sounds extremely cheap compared to most of Las Vegas. We had them box some up to-go for us, which made us anticipating the next morning's breakfast in a hard-core, can't wait, stomach growling sort of way.
I chose the Brioche Doree for my main meal. This was a delicious French toast served bread pudding style, layered with custard, caramelized apples and bananas, drizzled in maple syrup. It was so delicious. Comforting, moist, soft, oozy - all your favorite food adjectives rolled into one. I ate all of it, and I never ever ever eat all my food.
My husband ordered the Petit Dejeuner Americaine which was two eggs any style with bacon, sausage, pastry, brioche toast, juice and a Bouchon blend coffee. Out of all that, he was mostly in awe of the toast. He took a bite, then sat back and kind of zoned out for a bit. Said it was amazing, which is kind of an odd thing to say about toast. But I suppose it is brioche that is made at Bouchon, so it probably IS amazing.
We split a side of Lyonnaise potatoes, and I highly highly highly two thumbs up suggest you order these with your meal. Ugh. So good. In fact, I could've used a whole plate of these. Like a huge, ginormous plate. In order words, don't split this side. It is definitely a single serving and you'll want them all for yourself.
Wish we were locals so we could go back and try lunch or dinner. Cuz if breakfast is any indication of what they're capable of, I have no doubt we could eat here all day every day and never feel it necessary to leave.
