For those diners that are bored with the ordinary Las Vegas buffet fare, the Le Village Buffet at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel is truly a fine dining experience.

Classic French foods are featured at the Le Village Buffet including tasty dishes from five different provinces, such as Burgundy and Alsace.

The restaurant’s talented chefs prepare crepes to order and if your mouth waters for seafood, you have come to the right place.

Small but important touches, such as fresh berries for breakfast and real whipped cream for hot chocolate raise the bar for buffet food. This eatery is located at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel.

One of the more ambitious buffets, with a price to match — still, you do get, even at the higher-priced dinner, a fine assortment of food and more value for the dollar than you are likely to find anywhere else.

Plus, the Paris buffet is housed in the most pleasing room of the buffet bunch. It’s a Disneyland-esque two-thirds replica of your classic French village clichés; it’s either a charming respite from Vegas lights or it’s sickening, depending on your tolerance level for such things.

Buffet stations are grouped according to French regions, and though in theory entrees change daily, there do seem to be some constants: In Brittany, you’ll find things like made-to-order crepes, surprisingly good roasted duck with green peppercorn and peaches, and steamed mussels with butter and shallots.

In Normandy, there’s quiche and some dry bay scallops with honey cider. The carving station shows up in Burgundy but distinguishes itself by adding options of chateaubriand sauce and cherry sauce Escoffier.

Lamb stew is a possibility for Alsace, while Provence has pasta to order and a solidly good braised beef.

The salad station isn’t strong on flavors, but the veggies are fresh, and there is even some domestic (darn it) cheese. You can skip the dessert station in favor of heading back to Brittany for some made-to-order crepes, but you might want to try the bananas Foster.

Le Village Buffet restaurant hours
Hours: Breakfast: 7AM – 11AM; Mon – Sun
Lunch: 11:00AM – 3:30PM; Mon – Fri
Champagne Brunch: 11:00AM – 3:30PM; Sat-Sun
