| - I don't know, I think I'm giving this 5 stars more because I love JPP. I love the Bellagio location, and when Aria opened, I fell in love with this location too. Haha.
Located..hmm. It's by the casinos and bright. So you'll see it if you walk around Aria haha. :P Just follow the signs :D Jean Philippe Patisserie is here- just a couple casinos away from the Bellagio one! There are two different sections, the first being crepes, coffee, and gelato. The second one is desserts. If you go in the left area, you get to stare at the gelato. Since we had gone to the Bellagio one for gelato just the day before, I decided to not give it too much thought.
I had two rewards to use from myVegas. One was for a free crepe (yay!) and another was for a free pastry.
Crepe side.
They have savory and they have dessert crepes. We decided to get the savory crepe ($11.95). They make the crepe out of buckwheat flour (hence why it's brown).
The savory crepes:
Forest- Swiss cheese, black forest ham, wild mushrooms fricassee, scrampled egg
Salmon (The one i chose!)- Swiss cheese, pico de gallo, asparagus, fresh spinach, caper/dill sauce topped w/ smoked salmon
Chicken- swiss cheese, grilled chicken breast, fresh spniach, piquillo peppers, chipotle sauce
Italian- Sauteed Zucchini, over roasted tomatoes, fresh arugula, ricotta cheese spread, topped w/ proscuitto and basil psto
Veggie- Swiss cheese, feta cheese, veggie saute, chipotle sauce, fresh spinach
Their salmon was GOOD. The caper/dill sauce reminded me of a strong tartar sauce but damn this was legit. It was heavy but brought upon something light to the dish. Yeah. That's an explanation I would give. Everything else (the crepe, the asparagus, spinach) that was all in there mixed excellently with the caper/dill sauce. I think that sauce definitely makes the dish. The salmon on top? Mhm mhm mhm. The smoked salmon was definitely saltier than I would have liked, but I think that's what smoked salmon tastes like :P It was raw, not cooked, but I like raw hehe. Mix it with the sauce or try to put it in the crepe but it'll become lost. They give a decent amount, but at the end of the day $11.95 is expensive. But it's good :D I wish I took a photo of it haha.
Pastry side:
Just look, see what you like and eat it :P It most likely is good.
Almond croissant: $4.5- Had a flaky and subtle almond taste. It was strong enough to announce that it was there, but not strong that it overwhelmed the croissant (ie, you knew that it existed).
I forget what the last thing I ordered was! Oh no I must be getting old sigh. :/
If you have the Aria keycard and enabled charging, you can charge it to your room so that you'll be able to pay for it when you check out.
Also, this does NOT have the world record chocolate fountain. That is Bellagio.
I love it I love it I love it :)
