Marché Bacchus

"One of the most beloved patios in Las Vegas sits on Lake Jacqueline in the northwest. The patio at Marché Bacchus serves lunch, dinner, and brunch on Sundays, along with wines from the store in the front. Sitting inside by the windows is nice, but request a table by the water for a peaceful lunch of wine and charcuterie." - Janna Karel

"This French restaurant sets the stage for a memorable evening, starting with a stroll through the wine shop at the entrance. Choose to dine inside or, if the weather is mild, opt for the white-tableclothed patio located right on the Desert Shores lake. Flanked by greenery that attracts hummingbirds and dragonflies, choose comfort with — no surprise — French onion soup. This version is more formal than rustic, with the addition of flaky puff pastry, decadent foie gras, and buttery truffle in addition to caramelized onions and gruyere cheese." - Janna Karel

"Marché Bacchus is a French bistro with a legacy of pouring fabulous wines for decades in the Desert Shores community. A rustic wine shop sits across from the main bar, where rows of wooden shelves boast hundreds of international labels, offering the choice to take a bottle right to the table for a $10 corkage fee. Then, enjoy authentic French cuisine with a lakeside view. The restaurant also hosts multi-course special wine and dinner pairing events." - Jen Avison Smith

"French dining, white tablecloths, and a lakeside view make for a romantic setting at Marché Bacchus. Go for an appetizer of frog legs or truffled goat cheese Napoleon. For an extra romantic night, caviar service is an affair with egg whites, yolks, chives, red onion, capers, crème fraÎche, and toasted blinis." - Emmy Kasten

"In the Desert Shores community, white tablecloth seating extends right to the water’s edge. You’ll find French and Mediterranean cuisine including steak, seafood, and pasta. And make sure to browse the wine bins’ more than 950 labels of wine to take to your table or to go." - Janna Karel
