Savoury Saturday: Bouchon Las Vegas, Restaurant Review




Dining at Chef Thomas Keller's Las Vegas restaurant, Bouchon, brings back delightful memories of the culinary delights Bon Voyage Friends have enjoyed during our travels to Paris.

Famed celebrity reporter, Robin Leach interviewed Chef Thomas Keller, in celebration of Buchon’s 10th Anniversary at the Venetian Las Vegas, the 20th Anniversary of French Laundry in Napa, and 13 years of Per Se in New York. The article was originally published in the Las Vegas Sun, on January 24, 2014. The excerpt below gives a glimpse of the distinction Chef Keller’s reputation has brought to Las Vegas.

"It’s an extraordinary triple milestone of achievements and success for star chef Thomas Keller, who is hailed as America’s No. 1 culinary king by food industry experts, hospitality hotshots and fellow kitchen celebrities.His influence on the culinary world has placed him among the most decorated chefs in the world. Time Magazine named him “America’s Best Chef”, and Johnson & Wales University conferred upon him the honorary Degree of Doctor of Culinary Arts for his contributions to the industry".

Elegant Entrance to the restaurant.

Beautiful Patio Area, its Easy to Forget you are in Las Vegas!

Service
The management team and staff during our dining experience were great. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and so personable! Nicole, the manager on duty and Eric, the Sommelier exceeded our expectations. Nicole ensured we had a wonderful dining experience and Eric's passion is evident in his vast knowledge and expertise. Service is absolutely essential for any positive dining experience. Sometimes, all patrons are viewed as just visitors, which is not fair tourists or locals and its easy to have a lack luster experience. This was not the case during our Sunday brunch experience. Thank you to Nicole, Eric, and the entire staff!

Menu and Pricing
The menu has a wide range of options and offers great variety to appeal to any palate. Prices for brunch ranges from $12.00-$33, there are also many accompaniments to delight anything you fancy. See what we enjoyed in the pictures below.

For Dessert we had Gâteau Opéra, delicious!

Presentation and Taste
We had a wonderful sampling of the menu and enjoyed everything we tried. From the delicious parfait with house made granola to the perfectly cooked and seasoned trout, it was a grand experience. Compliments to Chef Keller and the entire culinary team! C'est Magnifique.


Overall Experience
The combination of the enjoyable atmosphere, great service, and delicious cuisine are reasons to return in the future. BVF's rating is a 4 diamond experience!!
