Executive Chef Jeff Cerciello and Chef de Cuisine Mark Hopper have brought to Las Vegas all the elements that garnered Bouchon’s original outpost in Yountville, California, so much attention and acclaim, including Gourmet magazine’s “America’s Top Tables” title. Like its California cousin, the restaurant in the Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino features French classics steeped in technique and history but with a modern touch and attitude, resulting in fresh, clean tastes made with the season’s prime ingredients.
You’ll always find classics bistro dishes such as steak frites, quiche, roast chicken, boudin noir, croque madame, profiteroles, and creme caramel. In addition, Bouchon serves a revolving seasonal menu, as well as daily specials using the best products available. True to its French roots, Bouchon stocks a generous selection of fruits de mer, and the wine service is every bit as distinguished as the food it accompanies.
Of course, you eat with your eyes as well as your mouth, and at Bouchon, the culinary masterpieces on your plate are matched by the luxurious surroundings, courtesy of designer Adam D. Tihany. You can choose to take your meal at the pewter bar, in one of the deep blue velvet banquettes, or on the outdoor patio, all under the antique light fixtures and French artist Paulin Paris’s hand-painted enveloping mural.
Bouchon’s artistry in the kitchen and the main room hasn’t gone unnoticed. Las Vegas Life Magazine and the Las Vegas Review Journal have both singled out Bouchon as one of the city’s finest eating establishments. National publications such as Sunset, Saveur, USA Today, and Food and Wine have all voiced their admiration as well.
Anyone who’s visited France is likely to have fond memories of that romantic corner bistro, the unassuming spot that served up mouthwatering yet deceptively simple dishes,
