Mon Ami Gabi restaurant at Paris - breakfast review


On my most recent trip to Vegas, I was able to try the newly added breakfast menu at Mon Ami Gabi restaurant in the Paris Hotel & Casino. If you've read any of my other posts about Paris and MAG, you already know that it's one of my favorite spots to eat and people-watch in Vegas. In my opinion, the food is very good, the ambiance is great, the view from the patio is spectacular, and the whole experience is one that I thoroughly enjoy every time I visit.

I was able to enjoy my breakfast with two friends from the LV4E message board, MikeZona and Doris. We sat at a patio table along the front railing with a great view of the Las Vegas Strip and the Bellagio Hotel and fountains.

We had a 9:30 a.m. reservation, and we were able to walk up and be seated immediately. The day would top out at 105 later on, but the morning was very enjoyable from our seats. The sun rises behind Paris, so you're not immediately thrust into sunlight and heat, and a breakfast on the patio is very doable well into the hot summer months.

The recently added breakfast menu included many things I wanted to try, but I finally settled on the Blueberry French toast. The order included two over sized pieces of thick blueberry-infused french toast that were also covered in fresh blueberries and whipped cream. It was absolutely delicious, and I was unable to finish the entire meal.

Doris ordered the Mushroom Omelet, and she enjoyed it but was also unable to finish because of its very large size. Mike had the Strawberry Waffle, which was covered with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. He said it was delicious but he was also unable to finish his breakfast. It seems the breakfast offerings are every bit as huge as the dinners, so think about ordering and sharing with friends when you go.

We were offered mimosas and other fruity drinks to accompany our breakfast, but we declined and opted for coffee with cream, instead.

We sat for quite awhile, talking and enjoying each other's company, and we were never rushed to finish up and leave. We even asked our waiter take photos of us, which he did happily.

There are so many things on the breakfast menu that I'd like to try, I'm going to have to return several times with at least one other person so that I can try them all.

I'd like to tell you what the meal for the three of us cost, but I can't; Mike and Doris picked up the tab as a treat to me - thanks again, you two, for being so sweet to me. I can't wait until we get together again.

Once again, I rate my dining experience at Mon Ami Gabi as a 9.5 on a scale of 1 to 10, but the company was certainly a solid 10 on this visit.

Breakfast is served from 7:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. daily. In addition, brunch is served during lunch hours on Saturdays and Sundays and includes select items from the breakfast menu in addition to the complete lunch menu that is available every day of the week.
