Bouchon Bistro, Las Vegas

Reviewer: Foodnut.com Bouchon Bistro 3355 Las Vegas Blvd South Las Vegas, NV 89109 702-414-6200 Bouchon Bistro Website Book Reservation

Bouchon is a French bistro that is part of the Thomas Keller French Laundry empire. A more affordable way to taste his high quality food. This location is in Las Vegas Strip’s Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino, Venezia Tower 10th floor, so it is far from the casino, and a pain to find!

They have locations in Yountville and Coral Gables. .See our Bouchon Yountville for a longer review. Our last visit was in 2025 for dinner.

The decor sets the mood, with colors, paintings, and a long magnificent French pewter bar, velvet banquettes, and antique light fixtures that set the stage for a French meal. Almost all the people here were from CES trade show.
This Bouchon restaurant is larger and busier than Yountville. It also has a louder vibe. They have the Bouchon Bakery downstairs, which sells some of the best french bread and pastries around.

Bouchon Vegas Menu

Bouchon Dinner menu is pretty standard French. Steak Frites were $55 on the website, but was replaced with Steak Bouchon at $125! The French Blackboard menu features specials of the day.

Prices are high so we skipped the expensive entrees and ordered a bunch of small plates.

Bouchon Food Picks:

Excellent Pan Epi Bread was fresh and well done. Top notch butter. It is nice to be able to ask for more bread:-)

Salade de Cresson et d’Endives ($21) endive salad with Fuji apples,
watercress, Roquefort & walnuts with walnut vinaigrette was done well. 9/10

Soupe à l’Oignon ($26) French Soup – caramelized sweet onions
with beef jus, country bread & Comté cheese is a pretty darn expensive soup. Thankfully it was well done, not salty and full of flavor. 8.5/10

Foie Gras Poêlé ($34) seared foie gras du jour hits the mark. Smooth and rich foie in a reasonable portion size. 9/10

Pommes Frites ($19) French fries with truffle were a bit salty but still addictive. 9/10

Champignons de Paris ($15) button mushrooms glazed with veal jus were nice small mushrooms with lots of flavor. 8.5/10

Épinards ($12)  sautéed spinach was so bitter. 6/10

Bouchon’s service was friendly and functional but not as available as we would like. Prices are high for such a high caliber French Bistro with very good food. Overall we like the Yountville Bouchon better..

Brunch from 2015

Country Sausage ($5) had 3 huge plump sausages. They were filled with high quality meats and had a firm casing.

Pommes Frites ($5) are a requirement when vising Bouchon. Many order the Steak Frites. Huge portion of wonderful thinly sliced fries.

 

Chicken & Waffles ($25) Roasted chicken, bacon and chive waffle, Tahitian vanilla bean butter, sauce Chasseur was a signature dish we could not miss. Excellent half a chicken that was cooked perfectly, tender, and moist. Savory waffles that are not really that far from regular ones. Chasseur was a thick salty gravy with vegetables and bacon. One bite with chicken, waffle, and gravy made our day. You could taste the high quality in the maple syurp. Worked even better for dipping the sausage! Fries went well with the Chasseur sauce.

Bouchon 2015 Dinner:

Mojito ($12) was strong and potent. Not super balanced, but acceptable.

*Huîtres oysters ($18 ½ doz.) included a nice mixture of West and East cost varieties.  We tried to concentrate on smaller, more flavorful ones. Nothing Local here!

 

Oeufs Mimosa 4 deviled eggs ($5) were really good. A nice small appetizer to share.

 

Terrine de Foie Gras de Canard served with toasted baguette ($26) is a classic dish with a tall huge chunk of foie.  Figs, salt, and brioche rounded it out.

 

Truffle Fresh house made Pasta of the day ($48) was cooked al dente and smothered with rich truffles.  Wow, just looking at the picture makes us drool.

 

Risotto – Carnaroli rice risotto was rich and creamy ($48) especially with the Austrailian Black Winter Truffles.

 

Poulet Rôti roasted chicken with corn, braised Swiss chard, oyster mushrooms & chicken jus ($29.75) is their signature dish with a great gravy. Very good but not exciting.

 

Steeak Frites pan-seared 9 oz. flat iron, caramelized shallots & maître d’hôtel butter, served with French fries ($37) or more like smothered in fries.  Quality meat that could have been better, cooked to a medium rare.

Épinards sautéed spinach ($7.50) was very garlicky. Cooked well and not sticky to the teeth.

OK:
None
