Bardot Brasserie (ARIA Resort & Casino)
Michael Mina’s Bardot Brasserie is like having brunch at a posh Parisian cafe on the Strip. The wood-paneled dining room is elegant and intimate, and brunch here is almost an event. We started with their signature pastry basket (yes, that’s canelés, kouign-amann, chocolate croissants, and more – it’s a must) and followed with classics like a fluffy omelet with Gruyère, and a grand seafood platter dripping with oysters, shrimp and lobster. I also can’t resist their steak burger or the brioche French toast (the cinnamon-sugar crust is divine). Everything felt beautifully executed and indulgent, from the lolling jazz music to the candlelight.
In short, it felt “just like Paris,” as other reviewers note – a true brunch of pastries and seafood and rich egg dishes. Go easy on the coffee, because brunch here can easily stretch out into dinner!
