French-inspired brunch staples, cocktails, wine, and lively patio seating

























"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

"The bistro is participating in the locals' deals with 20% off food and nonalcoholic beverages." - Susan Stapleton

"After a water main break on Oct. 15 left the French restaurant without potable water, I noted that Favorite Bistro at The Linq Promenade closed its dining room and the Southern Nevada Health District issued an imminent health hazard; inspectors also found staff continuing to prepare food in an upstairs kitchen (the restaurant maintains it was throwing the food away), and Favorite Bistro reopened that same day with an eight-demerit A grade." - Susan Stapleton

"I visited the new French bistro on the Linq Promenade introduced just before Christmas (officially opened Dec. 20), and it serves a mix of French fare and American classics with cuisine from executive chef Adil Slassi—formerly of Lavo at the Palazzo and Payard Patisserie & Bistro at Caesars Palace—and pastries by Claude Escamilla; founder Jeremy Decherchi brought the restaurant stateside from Paris. The 2,500-square-foot interior was custom-built in France and designed by a Paris team with more than three generations of millwork and design experience, creating a lively, fun, and tasty atmosphere where diners can sit at social banquettes or bistro tables and enjoy patio dining with a prime view of people watching at The Linq Promenade. The menu includes a surf-and-turf with lobster or shrimp choices, short ribs bourguignon, cassoulet, lamb shanks, French onion soup, and a hangover burger topped with caramelized onion, Swiss cheese, bacon cheese curds, and a fried egg on a brioche bun." - Susan Stapleton

"Opening on Dec. 20 on The Linq Promenade, this new 2,500-square-foot French-American bistro features social banquettes, bistro tables and a patio that spills onto the promenade. Executive chef Adil Slassi (formerly of Lavo and Payard Patisserie & Bistro) runs the kitchen while pastry chef Claude Escamilla handles desserts, and U.S. founder Jeremy Decherchi brings the concept from Paris. The menu blends classic French fare with American touches, including surf-and-turf with lobster or shrimp, short ribs bourguignon, cassoulet, lamb shanks, French onion soup and a decadent hangover burger topped with caramelized onion, Swiss cheese, bacon cheese curds and a fried egg on a brioche bun. Weekend brunch (Saturday and Sunday) offers brioche-stuffed French toast, a Liège waffle, lobster Benedict and more, alongside a rotating selection of homemade pastries and desserts. Wines include selections from Domaine la Rouillere (the company’s own vineyard) plus French and American varieties, and the cocktail list reworks French classics. Service covers breakfast, lunch and dinner with extended bar hours on weekends, plus daily happy hour from 3–5 p.m. and a late-night happy hour from 10 p.m. to close." - Susan Stapleton
