Must‑Try Foie Gras in Vegas! 😍
Bouchon Bistro — a Michelin‑recommended restaurant 🍴, helmed by a chef who once worked in a three‑Michelin‑star kitchen. Honestly, I think it’s better than many starred spots — classic French but full of delightful surprises. One big reason to visit their Vegas location: you can still get foie gras here 🦆✨ (unlike in Napa, where it’s often banned). With California’s on‑again‑off‑again foie gras bans, Vegas is the perfect place to indulge — plus you can often book same‑day! The restaurant is tucked away on the 10th floor of the Venetian’s South Tower — charmingly, though the space feels a bit dated and cozy. 😍 The foie gras is absolutely divine — seared until caramelized, perfectly seasoned, melt‑in‑your‑mouth creamy, served on a thin crisp toast. So indulgent yet so balanced, I finished the whole portion without feeling overwhelmed. (For comparison, I also tried the foie gras at Hell’s Kitchen — Bouchon’s version wins by a mile 🏆.) 🐌 Escargot in Puff Pastry — fragrant, buttery, and flaky. The snails paired with theare delicious, though a couple of pieces can feel rich. 🧈 Garlic Butter Mussels — tender, juicy, and truly signature‑worthy. The fries on the side are fantastic too — fresh‑cut potato fries that remind me of In‑N‑Out’s 🥔. Since these dishes are all on the richer side, ordering them together can feel a bit heavy 😂 — maybe balance with the lamb chops or duck leg next time! 🍨 Dessert: Custard Ice Cream Profiteroles — so good! The ice cream is smooth and almost custard‑like, served with warm, freshly‑poured chocolate sauce. The contrast is perfect — it cut right through the richness. I devoured two in no time! 😋 ~$100 per person — fine‑dining‑level French cuisine without the Michelin price tag. Totally worth it! 📍 Bouchon Bistro 3355 Las Vegas Blvd S, 10th Floor Las Vegas, NV 89109 #FrenchCuisine #MichelinEats #Escargot #FoieGras #LasVegas #HolidayEats #LasVegasFood
