It's not a trip to Vegas unless there's a breakfast at Bouchon. The restaurant is a large high-windowed space bordering the second floor courtyard at the Venetian. Morning gives the room a Vermeer light and the quiet and dark wood and white cloth are wonderfully calming. Especially in Vegas.

Umama always has the Sourdough Waffles ($12), which has been discussed
here previously.

Umami opted for the Gratin du Jour ($16): Yukon gold potatoes, baby spinach, roast chicken in mornay sauce under a cheese crust. Digging into the dish revealed a surprise . . . two eggs! Yet, despite the mornay sauce, the cheese and the eggs, the dish, while filling is not at all heavy.

And it comes with a side of Lyonnaise potatoes.

After a couple of days in Vegas, it's just nice to be able to have a good, thoughtfully prepared breakfast in a setting completely removed from typical Vegas excess. And there's nothing really fancy about breakfast at Bouchon, it's just done right.

Obviously an Umami favorite, garnering the highest rating on the Nom Scale: x4.
