Vanderpump à Paris Review
An Enchanting Parisian Escape in the Heart of Vegas
Vanderpump à Paris brings Lisa Vanderpump's signature whimsical elegance to Caesars Palace, creating a transportive dining experience that feels both luxurious and playful. From the moment you step through the ornate golden gates, you're immersed in a fantasy version of Paris that only Vanderpump could envision.
Ambiance & Design
The restaurant is a visual masterpiece featuring blush velvet banquettes, antique mirrors, cascading floral installations, and a stunning central bar topped with a miniature Eiffel Tower. The outdoor patio offers prime people-watching views of the Caesars Palace Forum Shops promenade. The attention to detail is extraordinary - even the restrooms are Instagram-worthy with their floral wallpaper and vintage-inspired fixtures.
Culinary Experience
Executive Chef Brian Howard has crafted a menu that blends French classics with California freshness. Standouts include the Coq au Vanderpump (a elevated take on coq au vin with pearl onions and mushrooms) and the Bees Knees cocktail served in a smoking bee hive. The presentation is consistently theatrical - desserts arrive under glass domes filled with rose-scented smoke, and cocktails often feature edible flowers and unusual garnishes.
Service & Value
Service is attentive though occasionally uneven during peak hours. Staff are knowledgeable about the menu and cocktail program but can seem rushed when the restaurant is at capacity. With entrees ranging from $32-58, it's certainly a splurge, but the quality of ingredients and unforgettable ambiance justify the price point for special occasions.
Recommendations
For couples: Request a booth in the main dining room for the most romantic atmosphere. The Vanderpump Rosé and cheese board make for perfect sharing.
For groups: The outdoor patio accommodates larger parties well, and the shareable Tour de France appetizer platter is ideal for groups.
For solo diners: The bar offers full service and provides excellent entertainment through people-watching and cocktail craftsmanship.
