This is a review for brunch at Morel's.
And what a brunch it was! 5 stars all the way around.
We walked in around 11 a.m. on Saturday morning. It was quiet. We were seated right away and waited on - meticulously - by three people throughout brunch. We were three women and the gentlemen waiters were helpful, polite and prompt.
The brunch menu looked divine, but I'm a sucker for cheese. I was impressed by the selection of cheeses and charcuterie. I talked my friends into having cheese fondue with me. Yes, for brunch. So there.
The fondue arrived and was the perfect balance of wine and cheese. Neither was too strong. It was a symphony of taste that I never wanted to end. The bread was crusty and soft, fresh and fragrant. SO GOOD.
The coffee was strong - a fair trade Rwandan blend - and I loved it.
Then we shared the fries with the seasoned mayonnaise (divine!), a plate of saucisson (a dry salame thing made in France, that I love) and a smoked salmon flat bread. The saucisson was sliced wafer thin and served with more yummy bread, sweet cornichons, pearl onions and a fancy, stone-ground mustard. My tummy was full and my heart was singing in tune with my taste buds.
Great atmosphere, comfy chairs, right on the strip with indoor (what we opted for) and outdoor seating.
Check this place out. I *will* try their dinner menu on a future trip to Vegas... but I am craving their spectacular brunch. And, next time, I *will* sample something off the delightful Bloody Mary cart.
