After brunch, we wandered over to the mall near the Wynn. Those of us who weren’t interested in Black Friday sales embarked on a quest for macarons!<\/p>\n

We searched through the Venetian for Bouchon Bistro<\/a>, but after almost an hour of searching (due to poor signage) and asking around, we only found a small store, not the actual bistro. The selection wasn’t all that impressive, so we hopped into a cab to ARIA. Jean Philippe Pastisserie<\/a> to the rescue!
\n\"Jean<\/a>I don’t know if it’s just me, but the name Jean Philippe immediately makes me think of the ma\u00eetre d’ on Hell’s Kitchen<\/em>! This is a different Jean Philippe (Executive Pastry Chef Maury), and boy, does he know how to make desserts. I was overwhelmed by all the sweet treats and didn’t get many photos. So glad Lisa<\/a> got that pretty picture above.<\/p>\n

Most of the cakes and desserts were in the $7 to $9 range. I treated myself to the Sweet Trio ($11), thinking that a larger dessert could be shared with John. Turns out he only wanted a small bite or two. No problem at all, more dessert for me!
\n\"Jean<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sweet Trio comes with vanilla cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e, a raspberry macaron, and a caramel peanut cakepop. And yes, that tray is a big piece of chocolate! This was perfect with a glass of sparkling wine. I couldn’t decide which of the 3 treats was my favorite!<\/p>\n

Felicia is a maracon purist. She ordered classic macarons to enjoy with green tea.\"Jean<\/a><\/p>\n
