Thomas Keller’s Bouchon bistro to reopen Friday at The Venetian

As Las Vegas’ restaurant community edges toward some sense of normality, Bouchon, Thomas Keller’s award-winning French-style bistro in the Venezia Tower at The Venetian, will reopen Friday. The restaurant had temporarily closed March 17 amid the COVID-19 shutdown.

Bouchon is known for updated interpretations of French bistro classics, such as Poulet Roti (roast chicken), steak frites and a truffle Croque Madame. The reopening will include the raw bar, with oysters, shrimp and caviar.

Brunch will resume from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays through Sundays, with dinner from 5 to 9 p.m. Sundays and 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The patio overlooking the tower’s pool, a prime spot for al fresco dining, also will be open.

The restaurant will be closed Mondays through Thursdays.

The Bouchon Bakery near Venetian Theater has reopened.
