Le Bouchon

Well. This might be my favorite Las Vegas restaurant that I've tried. I love french food. 

First, they serve you a delicious épi baguette with butter, and pistachios. The real good bread, you know. 

Then, you can choose a drink from their extensive wine reserve list or cocktail. This is the Bouchon Cocktail: 

For starters, there are salads, seafood bar, or other delicious hors-d'oeuvres. 

This is the roquette salade with prosciutto, goat cheese and cherries. Wow, is it ever good. 

Even their plain "laitue" salad with bibb lettuce and house vinaigrette is amazing. 

Shrimp cocktail, peut-être?

Very fresh seafood. 

Or, soupe à l'oignon gratinée? 

A classic. 

Pour le plat de résistance: 

Steak frites

I can't even tell you how delicious this steak is. First, pan seared flatiron steak, covered with caramelized shallots, and maître d'hôtel butter. 

Every bite is to die for. AND, you've rarely tasted fries that taste so good. 

Or, the Bouchon Steak: 

grilled New York strip steak with potato boulangère (like a patate dauphinoise), and black truffle jus. 

Memorable. 

For those who don't like red meat. Truite amandine: 

Pan-roasted Idaho trout with haricots verts, toasted almonds and beurre aux noisettes. 

Délicieux!

If you like seafood: 

Moules et frites. 

A classic according to me. SO good. 

And last but not least: dessert. 

Like I said on Facebook, this might be the best dessert I've had in my entire life. WHY? Cause it mixes sweet with salty, soft with crunchy and it's so different that the boring classics (cheesecake, chocolate cake. Ugh.)

SO, this is a soft meringue, with vanilla crème anglaise, toasted almonds, candied almonds and salted caramel sauce. 

I just died re-thinking about it. 

If you have the chance to go to beautiful Las Vegas, make sure you swing by Le Bouchon @ The Venetian Hotel. 

I won't lie. It's pricey. 

Eat away!
