Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Mount Charleston

"Parisian romance with a glitzy Vegas sparkle makes the Eiffel Tower Restaurant a must-visit for your special occasion on the Strip. Introduce your partner to a trilogy of imported caviar before nibbling on fricassée d’escargot. A Rossini-style filet mignon with foie gras and truffle sauce sets the mood for the grand finale: a chocolate Eiffel Tower soufflé."

"One of those Las Vegas restaurants with a view, this Eiffel Tower restaurant offers you the charm of Paris in the Sin City. The place is charming and undoubtedly romantic. They have both lunch and dinner option available with two and three courses, and the former is cheaper than the latter if budget is your concern."

"The pretty exterior of Bardot Brasserie will entice you to come in, and the menu will give you so many wonderful sounding options that it might be difficult to choose a dish. This Parisian cafe's dinner and weekend brunch offerings include selections like the Burgundian Escargot wrapped in puff pastry shells, French onion soup with Perigord truffle and steak frites in four varieties: filet, grass-fed flat iron, grass-fed NY Strip and double-cut rib eye. A raw bar features crab, Maine lobster, oysters, jumbo shrimp cocktail and caviar."

"Anything that you could possibly fantasize about is probably somewhere in this brasserie. Thanks to culinary wizard and celebrity chef Michael Mina, you can expect contemporary takes on classic dishes, as well as ample vino and (of course) a cart of bubbly champagne. On weekend mornings, Bardot packs ’em in with its popular brunch, where you can order a variety of croissant Benedicts, brioche French toast with vanilla mascarpone and almond brittle, or the Hunter’s Waffle with duck confit and poached eggs."

"Michael Mina’s French bistro serves comfort food including Icelandic cod roasted in brown butter, loup de mer, and moules frites in a handsome room with subway tiles and rich woods at Aria. Even the cocktails here tout the eccentricities of Paris, paying homage to the classics such as the Sidecar from Harry’s Bar and Serendipity from Bar Hemingway, all with their own twists. Dine-in service only."

"Mandalay BayBorder Grill takes inspiration from south-of-the-border, crafting a menu of unlimited shareable brunch plates for a fixed price of 39.99 per person (a few bucks less than pre-pandemic rates). Yucatan pork eggs Benedict, Peruvian shrimp and grits, and plantain empanadas lead a lineup of compelling dishes. In a town short on buffets these days, it's nice to still be able to enjoy as much (or as little) as you like."

"Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger’s beloved and accessible Border Grill is a good choice for families right before or after a visit to The Shark Reef, right next door. The two floors of patio dining make a terrific spot for weekend brunch. We love the many tacos and lots of shareable dishes, from the Yucatan pork to lomo saltado."

"With its mix of Jamaican and New Mexican cuisine, DW Bistro sets itself apart from other restaurants in Las Vegas. One of the restaurant's most popular meals is their weekend brunch on Saturday and Sunday, when this off-the-Strip eatery can get really busy. DW Bistro has been a long-time local favorite, and its combination of sweet and savory flavors is a distinctive element of its cuisine."

"The Gramercy darling DW Bistro combines Jamaican and New Mexican cuisine from Bryce Krausman and Dalton Wilson. The splashy orange dining room features a must-order New Mexican chile burger or pork chile arepas, and green chile mac and cheese. Do look for chef takeovers and a weekend brunch that is a must."

"The Bagel Cafe is a bit of a drive from the heart of Las Vegas and the Strip, but the trip ends with a plate of breakfast classics, hearty sandwiches and full entrées. The venue brings the best of a New York City bagel café to the desert with house-made bagels and pastries, soft omelets, fluffy pancakes and crispy Belgian waffles. For later in the day, it offers a range of options, including potato pancakes, chicken parmesan and salmon."

"Apart from serving classic recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the café is known for serving delicious assorted pastries and cakes. All the cookies and cakes are homemade and are cooked to perfection."

"Last up on my list of the best desserts in Las Vegas, it’s the Big Poppa Tart!. Everyone loves donuts, and the Donut Bar in Las Vegas has fully capitalised on the fried dough phenomenon. Anything from there is pretty epic, so you can’t really go wrong."

"Choices at this doughnut emporium out of San Diego include the "Big Poppa Tart," mud pie, maple Bourbon, Boston creme, apple fritter, cake batter and naturally, the super-sized "Homer's donut."

"My family came down from Salt Lake City, Utah and we decided to try the Donut Bar in Las Vegas. The donuts are humongous. The pop tart one is delicious..."

"Although the attention-grabber at the LINQ Promenade is the High Roller, there’s more to keep you rapt at the open-air retail, entertainment and dining district around it. Opened in 2018, Fly LINQ is the first and only zip line on the Las Vegas Strip, while there’s always a new pop-up attraction like 2019’s Tattoo’d America, celebrating tattoos and body art. Vegas-native Jimmy Kimmel has a comedy club to his name on the promenade, while there are more than 40 shops, bars and eateries at the dynamic marketplace."

"Chocoholics won't want to miss this one-stop shop for everything an ice cream and chocolate lover could want. Enjoy a signature Hot Fudge Sundae with fresh house-made hot fudge or branch out into any of the other delicious treats on the menu. Conveniently located on the LINQ Promenade right across Brooklyn Bowl's entrance, Ghirardelli Ice Cream and Chocolate Shop won the Best of Las Vegas 2015 award for Best Ice Cream."

"This is a great spot to do some shopping, enjoy a meal and to find some kid-friendly entertainment including an observation wheel and ziplines."

"With a backdrop of Tuscan architecture, the Bellagio’s faux Lake Como and dancing fountains are the antithesis of the Mojave Desert – although the resort does use reclaimed water. The fountain show’s recorded soundtrack varies, so cross your fingers that it will be Italian opera or ol’ Blue Eyes crooning ‘Luck Be a Lady,’ instead of country-and-western twang."

"Although our itinerary looked like we did it all, we had a few things that we didn’t get to do such as taking a photo in front of the Las Vegas Welcome Sign and watching the Bellagio fountain at night. Overall, we had an amazing four days and we can’t wait to go back!"

"This cocktail lounge at the Venetian features craft cocktails from Sam Ross of New York City's Attaboy fame. Try the Penicillin with scotch, lemon, ginger, honey and an Islay float, which New York Times named to its list of 11 essential drinks of the "modern cocktail revival." Other concoctions include Elope with gin, melon, lime and orgeat; East Side Rickey with vodka, cucumber, mint, lime and club soda; A La Louisiane with rye, Benedictine, Italian vermouth, absinthe and bitters; Coney Island Express with rum, cold brew coffee, vanilla and Amaro Ciociaro; and Creole Punch with rum, pineapple, ginger, citrus, allspice, and nutmeg."

"The Venetian is home to multiple nightclubs, and the Dorsey is one you and your partner do not want to miss. Best known for its classic cocktails and commitment to stellar beverage ingredients, this club was voted the “Best Bar in Las Vegas” by Conde Nast Traveler. According to their website, the Dorsey’s signature Penicillin cocktail is:"

"The closest you are going to get to a classic New York rooftop bar is tucked away at the top of this dining destination. Besides being one of the premiere eateries Downtown, Carson Kitchen carries on founder Kerry Simon’s legacy with an atmosphere of sophisticated fun. The rooftop is like a destination within a destination, perfect for some of their famous bacon jam with baked brie and toasted baguette or an innovative cocktail."

"From the day it opened its doors in 2014, Carson Kitchen has been known as one of the best places to eat in Downtown Las Vegas. The modern restaurant features a casual urban design, sleek industrial tables, and a stunning outdoor rooftop patio for diners to enjoy the trendy downtown atmosphere. This is an excellent place for groups as their menu offers social plates for sharing."

"Chef Kerry Simon has established a destination restaurant with his Carson Kitchen in Downtown Las Vegas. The modern gastropub is serving twists on standard dishes like the gyro tacos pictured above. Stylish and sleek, the late Chef Kerry Simon’s Carson Kitchen is proof of Downtown Las Vegas continuing renaissance."

"Irreverent and fun in its tone and mission statement, The Modern Vegan has a large menu that offers a mix of healthy fare and plant-based indulgences. With one look at its offerings, you’ll get the idea that it’s a fusion of nearly any kind of cuisine you can imagine. American comfort foods like corn dogs and mac-and-faux-cheese balls are served alongside internationally inspired salads."

"A popular option among UNLV students, this trendy vegan restaurant does brunch right with vegan poutine, plant-based mac and cheese balls, and potato skins topped with tofu scrambled with peppers and cheddar. There are also vegan milkshakes plus pineapple mimosas, wellness shots, and lemon mint kombucha."

"The Modern Vegan has the largest menu of any we’ve ever seen — vegan or non-vegan. Check out the seven dishes to try at TMV and make it super easy to order here."
