Favorite Bistro

"No frills bar at the Linq has one of the longer afternoon happy hours — Monday through Thursday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. That’s when finger foods like chicken wings, spinach dip, and beef sliders cost $9.95, with beer, wine, and mixed drinks priced at $5.95." - Ryan Slattery

"Even though Favorite Bistro at The Linq Promenade closed its dining room after discovering no potable water after a water main break on Oct. 15 in the French restaurant, the Southern Nevada Health District still issued an imminent health hazard. Inspectors found the staff continuing to prepare food in an upstairs kitchen. The restaurant contends it was throwing food away. Favorite Bistro reopened that same day with an eight-demerit A grade." - Susan Stapleton

"The Linq Promenade introduced its newest restaurant right before Christmas with a menu of French fare and American classics. Favorite Bistro brings cuisine from executive chef Adil Slassi, formerly at Lavo at the Palazzo and the former Payard Patisserie & Bistro at Caesars Palace, and pastries from Claude Escamilla, all from U.S. founder Jeremy Decherchi who brought the restaurant stateside from Paris. The recipe for the design mixes even parts lively, fun, and tasty. Diners can sit at social banquettes or bistro tables, while a patio dining space gives customers a prime view of the people watching at The Linq Promenade. The interior of the 2,500-square-foot restaurant was custom-built from France and designed by a team from Paris with more than three generations of millwork and design experience. On the menu, a surf and turf with lobster or shrimp choices, as well as short ribs bourguignon, cassoulet, and lamb shanks. French onion soup joins the hangover burger served with caramelized onion, Swiss cheese, bacon cheese curds, and a fried egg, served on a brioche bun." - Susan Stapleton

"The Linq Promenade's new Favorite Bistro, formerly La Favorite Bistro, offers a blend of American and French cuisine in a 5,962-square-foot space with indoor and outdoor seating. The venue is poised to open soon, following an estimated $2,327,009 construction project. The menu includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and coffee, with a European twist on comfort food and a full cocktail program." - Bradley Martin

"While construction work has yet to begin on the bar project, on the Linq Promenade, the French restaurant originally known as Chez Marcel has been re-dubbed La Favorite Bistro, a sequel to the original on Paris’ Rue de Rivoli. Located opposite Sprinkles cupcakes, the 5,962-square-foot restaurant will have room enough for 137 inside and has been built with an impressive estimated construction budget of $2,327,009. The original French location launched in Le Marais in 2012, serving a traditional menu of bistro and cafe essentials. Controversially, restaurateur Keith McNally, owner of New York’s Balthazar, Minetta Tavern, and the shuttered Schiller’s Liquor Bar unhappily claims La Favorite’s Parisian interior is an “inch by inch” copy of Schiller’s European design." - Bradley Martin
