| - I had tried the JP at Aria a few years ago, and since I stayed at the Bellagio this time round, I thought I'd try this place out....especially as the outlet is a really awesome looking place with crepes being made before your very eyes, and beautiful display of artfully crafted pastries, and quite a mesmerizing floor to ceiling liquid chocolate fountain out front....for some reason I couldn't get my eyes off of it. Anyway, I had tried to come here for a crepe or breakfast, but the place was always very busy and the line was always crazy long.....so I skipped it. Then on the way back to my room after dinner, there was no line.....and the sorbets looked pretty yummy and seemed to be a perfect after dinner finish.....so I went ahead and ordered the mango sorbet......I tried to get a mix of 2 flavors....mango and coconut, but they're treated just as though you're ordering 2 separate scoops.....and each scoop in a cup came to more than $5 each....ok, this is Vegas, at the swanky Bellagio, and this is some fancy French dessert place, so these prices should be expected.
Hmmm, the sorbet actually tasted like fresh mangoes were used to make it, but the sour'ish type.....however, I thought it was really sweet!!!......a bit too sweet for my taste......I'm sure I got a sugar spike after the second scoop.
The other thing I noticed about this place is that while they have a good selection of coffees, I didn't notice any decent tea offerings on the menu....all I saw was chai tea? I ended going to Starbucks all the way at the other end of the hotel.
Nice place....definitely worth checking out....and I will try to get me a crepe one of these days when the line's not too long.
***** Next day: at the urging of my friend, we returned for breakfast the next morning and decided to get in the line to see what all the buzz was all about.....it took us about 12-15 minutes to get from the end of the line to where they started taking orders around the other side where the pastries/sandwiches were.....then you keep following the lline to the cashier, pass them your order, and just wait for your food.....it's all take away style. Warning.....there's usually a long wait for crepes and omelettes as there only two crepe hot plates and it takes time to make....especially when there are so many orders before yours.....so be prepared for another long wait yet again.
We ordered the veggie omelette, chicken crepe, a cup of mixed fruit, a croissant....coffee and TEA! In my initial review I didn't notice the tea selection because it was only on the overhead screen angled toward the inside so it's not visible from the outside....I only saw it once I reached the pastry/sandwich display side.
Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed the very yummy omelette which came with a skewer of melon and whole wheat toast.....but it tasted wonderfully with their freshly baked, finely crisp and light and fluffy inside croissant. The chicken crepe was delicious too......so now we got a taste of what all the buzz was about and will most likely be back again for sure. Oh, the almond croissants looked oh so good! I definitely have to try one before I leave here!
