| - I think this is my favorite Bouchon Bakery location at the Venetian. Which seems a little ridiculous, right? Three locations inside one hotel--you'd think they would all be equal. Yeah...no. Maybe it was just the weekend I was there, but I swear the staff was friendly, everything was cleaner, and the pastries were fresher at this one (I may or may not have gone to all three, and I wasn't even staying at the Venetian).
We stopped here on our way out of town, and grabbed a couple of sandwiches and a bag full of pastries to last the entire car ride back to LA.
Turkey sandwich: Definitely have them heat it up for you. The French baguette is crusty and delicious, the cheese is nice and melty...perfect!
Smoked salmon sandwich: Perfectly smoked salmon, piled generously on a Kaiser roll, with sweet pickled onions and watercress.
Oh Oh: Keller's take on a Ho. Unbelievable. Perfectly soft chocolate sponge cake rolled with whipped cream, dipped in chocolate ganache that isn't too hard or too sweet, with a sprinkling of chocolate crisps on top. Our Oh Oh had four chocolate crips. When my husband handed my the Oh Oh to take a bite, it was upside down, and I unintentionally consumed all four of the crisps he had been eating around to save. Oops.
Better Nutter: Two crisp peanut butter cookies filled with peanut butter mousse. Slight sweet, perfectly salty, incredibly delicious.
Kouign Amann: Flaky, buttery, not too sweet. Something you don't see too often. Definitely try it!
