Bobby Flay Spills The Tea On His Newest Las Vegas Eatery, Brasserie B

Designed by Olivia Jane Design, the restaurant transports guests from the heart of the Las Vegas Strip to a timeless brasserie in Paris. From the casino floor, guests are drawn to Brasserie B’s entrance by a neon sign curved along an exaggerated cornice and the warm interior lighting. The façade is reminiscent of a Parisian storefront with a rich, burgundy plaster.

Brasserie B features an L-shaped, 20-seat bar with weathered marble, fluted wood and zinc accents. The lounge flows into the main dining space, which includes a showstopping raw bar with a lit canopy that spills over the tables below. The intimate, 175-seat dining room features blown glass chandeliers, cane-backed cafe chairs and handmade subway tile. Burgundy banquettes line each of the spaces, and oversized mirrors clad the walls, amplifying the bustling energy that fills the room. A set of folding bistro-style doors bisect the space to create a private dining room with an abstract mural ceiling and illuminated wine displays.

A CULINARY Q&A WITH BOBBY FLAY

What sets this new concept at Caesars Palace apart from other things you’ve done? Are you catering to a different audience?

Brasserie B represents an energy and a style of cuisine which is the way I like to eat on my personal time. Finding French cuisine in a brasserie setting is underserved in Las Vegas. It complements the Coastal Italian flavors of Amalfi just next door.

Following the success of Amalfi at Caesars Palace, what made you decide to open a French concept?

Over the past 20 years or so I’ve been getting my culinary inspiration from Europe so following my first Italian concept, Amalfi, a Brasserie of French classics with some twists seemed like the next chapter.

How would you describe Brasserie B’s concept and how does it differ from other French restaurants?

A brasserie is not overly fancy. This particular French concept comes with high energy and a bustling dining room.

The restaurant’s design is stunning. What is your favorite feature of the space?

I love the raw bar design. It was inspired by a trip to many Paris restaurants with the designer, Olivia Jane.

Is there anyone specific who has been an inspiration to you in terms of French cuisine?

Many people inspire me in any project I do. In this case, I went to the French Culinary Institute as my initial schooling in the culinary arts. This type of cuisine and its techniques have been a part of my whole career.

What are some signature dishes on the menu and what makes them so special? Are there any secret menu items? Any favorites?

I love the Scallops aux Sophie, the Lobster Frites and the Duck Confit. The most popular appetizer is the Vidalia Onion Soup. I substitute the sweet onions from Georgia for the classic Spanish onions for a sweeter and more subtle flavor in the broth.

What’s next for you – in Las Vegas or elsewhere?

At the moment, I’m most excited about my forthcoming book, Bobby Flay: Chapter One.
It’s a collection of 100 of my most important recipes updated for today’s sophisticated kitchen. My most important publication yet.
