28. December 2012: Eiffel Tower Restaurant

| January 2, 2013 | 0 Comments

Lunching at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant definitely sounds cheesy and it is to some degree – but it is also quite a nice experience. The bread which was served in the beginning was empty inside and tasted great.

As a starter I had “Cold Foie Gras Torchon (Duck Prosciutto, Fig Compote, Brioche; USD 19.00)” which was quite okay. The foie gras was good, the duck prosciutto in which the foie gras was wrapped in was actually improving the foie gras because it gave it the special edge.

The fig compote was tasty, the brioche on the other hand was definitely typical American bread toast.

As a main course I took another recommended “signature dish”, the “Aged Parmesan Crusted Chicken (Potato Gratin, Vegetables; USD 22.00)”. The aged chicken in the parmesan crust was good but also quite heavy – definitely no light dish to spend the afternoon walking in Vegas.

To finalize lunch, some complementary sweets from the kitchen were brought to our table and I picked the “cassis drops” which were heavily coated with sugar. The idea is nice but unfortunately the taste experience was very limited to gelly – not even tasting like much but sugar.

What is absolutely outstanding though – especially if the sun is shining – is the view you have from the Eiffel Tower Restaurant. You get to look at the water area of the Bellagio, the Bellagio itself, and The Cosmopolitan. Of course it is not comparable ot the view from the real Eiffel tower but it is definitely a nice view.

Another goodie is that you get to look right into the kitchen when you get up with the elevator when it opens. Definitely a good sign and I must admit also a nice view.

The prices are very reasonable especially for being located in one of the Casinos. Only water is ridiculous expensive – Aqua Badoit (0,75L; USD 8.50), Aqua Evian (0,75L, USD 8.00). The service is okay – takes quite long and they are – in my opinion – trying too hard to sell you additional dishes and wine.

Generally, the Eiffel Tower restaurant is a very nice place to lunch because the view is great, the interior is nice, the dishes are good (for American standards), the prices are fair, and the service is okay too.
