Find the ideal spot for brunch with the besties or a romantic evening with your sweetie at Chéri Rooftop. The recently opened restaurant at Paris Las Vegas, with décor inspired by midcentury Parisian gardens, sits underneath the property’s Eiffel Tower with Bellagio fountains views.

The open-air design of the restaurant suits the gorgeous weather this time of year, be it day or night. If day is your desire, enjoy Chéri’s brunch from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday through Sunday. As the sun shines and a cool breeze wafts under large umbrellas, dig into shareable dishes like the grilled blueberry bread topped with a sweet cream cheese butter, blueberry syrup, fresh berries and mint, or freshly shucked oysters chilled on the half shell or served Rockefeller style.
Or take some recs from Chéri Rooftop’s CEO and executive chef Anthony Carron. “For brunch, I would highly recommend starting with the escargot, served with garlic herb butter and a toasted baguette,” he says. “Our selection of omelets really stand out, with options ranging from blue crab with avocado, Gruyère and Hollandaise to our linguiça sausage option with caramelized onions, piquillo peppers and Comté cheese. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, the crème brûlée French toast with fresh berries and Chantilly cream is a delight.”
Might we also suggest ordering the smoked salmon and bagel, a brunch staple? Chéri’s presentation is exceedingly photoworthy, with the presentation of a tiered tower laden with heirloom tomato, cucumber, capers, red onion, boiled egg and cream cheese. In addition, to share, order up the burrata and prosciutto, served with fresh fruit and drizzled with Moroccan extra virgin olive oil and aged balsamic, or a twist on the classic avocado toast—this hearty version is served on a croissant.

When the sun sets, Chéri switches to dinner service from 5-10 p.m. Thursday through Monday. With twinkling lights turned on along with candlelight and views of the glowing Strip, the restaurant turns romantic, creating a memorable dining experience.
Dinner continues the French-inspired theme, with approachable twists and bold flavors added to each dish. “For dinner, main courses really take on the traditional French inspiration,” Carron says. “Particularly, I enjoy the duck au poivre, with watercress, potato pavé and topped with green peppercorn sauce, and to share, the wild mushroom cigars and osetra caviar cones.”
Familiar bites like sea scallops are served up gratinée-style with vermouth cream and sorrel and mushroom duxelles; steak frites is a French classic served with duck fat fries, maître d’ butter and watercress; and the Alaskan halibut comes with brown butter, capers, cauliflower, golden raisins, lemon and haricot verts.
Don’t skip cocktails or dessert, either. Go all-you-can-drink mimosas at brunch for $39. Master mixologists have whipped up an impressive specialty cocktails menu, all French-inspired twists on classics. Don’t sleep on the margarita twist, Margarita’s Trip to Paris, and the classic sour twist, the Eiffel Sour. The French Kiss is a conversational sip, because you’ll be talking about how good the mix is of Rémy Martin, Disarrono, lemon juice, agave and a cinnamon-sugar rim. Desserts stay classic with choices like Valrhona chocolate soufflé, profiteroles and vanilla crème brûlée.
