Michael Mina’s French restaurant Bardot Brasserie at Aria is one of those spots that makes you feel you’ve been transported to another place—in this case, a cafe complete with plush red seating and dark woodwork that feels as if it’s been transported straight from a Paris corner.
Mina has designed a menu that hits so many French classics but isn’t afraid to have a little fun with his food, as with the pop tarte flambée, a bite oozing with cheese and a creamy sauce. One of Bardot’s most striking appetizers may be the steak tartare, served with gaufrette potato chips, which are made to order. Seafood lovers will delight in the two sizes of seafood platters, with oysters, shrimp, king crab and Maine lobster.
Bardot also has a new three-course Welcome Back prix fixe menu that features some of the most popular items on the restaurant’s menu, like Maine lobster bisque with brandy, steak frites au poivre or a half roasted chicken, and a chocolate macaron with chocolate mousse.
For vegetarians, you’ll find the gnocchi Parisienne with Provencal vegetables and Boursin cheese on both the prix fixe and regular dinner menus.
The brunch menu here features many of the greatest hits from dinner, plus omelettes, decadent French toast (you can even order foie gras as an accompaniment), croque madame and a cheese plate.
