Dominique Ansel will launch his second Strip eatery, Dominique Ansel Marché, at Paris Las Vegas on Friday, December 6. The new eatery will join Dominique Ansel Bakery, which the James Beard Award-winning French pastry chef opened at Caesars Palace in 2022.
The new concept, which has claimed the 5,000 square-foot space formerly occupied by JJ’s Boulangerie, will serve croissants, fresh fruit tarts and other expected sweet treats, but also go savory with buckwheat crêpes, sandwiches and flatbreads.
“Marché” is French for market.
“With this new concept, we wanted to recreate the feeling of a Parisian marketplace — something that I remember fondly growing up, with fresh-made crêpes, slow-cooked rotisserie chicken with French fries or roasted potatoes, beautiful fruit tarts and croissants,” Ansel said in a press release. “It reminds me so much of home in France, right here at the heart of The Strip.”
Of course, the Cronut that Ansel created — by crossing a croissant with a doughnut — will also be available, featuring a different, never-repeating flavor every month.
Dominique Ansel Marché will be the seventh celebrity-licensed restaurant at Paris, joining Gordon Ramsay Steak, Nobu, Vanderpump à Paris, Bobby’s Burgers by Bobby Flay, Brioche by Guy Savoy and The Bedford by Martha Stewart.
Dining Ins & Outs
When it opens next month, the second location of The Guest House will attempt to make a late-night celebrity hotspot out of the old Tommy Bahama space at Town Square Mall, just south of the Strip on Las Vegas Boulevard. The owners already succeeded with their first location, which opened in March in Austin and drew diners including Michael Jordan, Gordon Ramsay and Steve Aoki. Twirling the oven dials will be Executive chef Todd Mark Miller, formerly of STK Steakhouse.
Also opening next month for the first time in Las Vegas will be Mountain Mike’s Pizza, which was founded in 1978 and has nearly 400 locations. Look for it at 785 E. Craig Road.
