Visitors come to Las Vegas for a lot of reasons, and at Stubborn Seed, dessert is one of them. Since opening in February of this year at Resorts World Las Vegas, this Miami-born, Michelin-starred restaurant has quietly become one of the Strip’s most compelling stops for anyone who takes their sweets course seriously.
Helmed by Top Chef Season 13 winner Jeremy Ford, Stubborn Seed brings his signature precision and creativity out west. Ford, already acclaimed in Miami for his vegetable-forward, modern American tasting menus, partnered with Grove Bay Hospitality Group to open this hot spot. The design is a love letter to his South Beach roots: lush greenery, art deco lines, a glass-fronted kitchen, ribbed-glass chandeliers and red leather seating, all bathed in warm light.
The dessert lineup is the final act worth staying for. The snickerdoodle cookie, paired with toasted barley ice cream, is playful and nostalgic yet unexpectedly sophisticated. The peanut butter candy bar layers decadent peanut butter mousse, caramel crémeux, fudge brownie and bright banana-passion fruit sorbet. It’s a treat that’s downright joyful. For a more grown-up ending, the spiced crème brûlée brings together black mission figs, honeycomb coffee and pistachio praline. It’s crunchy, silky and warm in all the right ways.
After a tasting menu that ignites your senses, the dessert offerings are the confident closing act. Stubborn Seed is the kind of place where you linger … and eat just one more bite.
