Bazaar Mar is a Seafood Tapas Restaurant with Spanish Embellishment by Multi Award Wining and Michelin Stared Chef and Restauranteur Jose Andres and Team. The Las Vegas Location is located in The Shops At Crystals on the Las Vegas Strip.
There’s a large bar that sits in the middle of the restaurant.
At the end of the bar area is an open kitchen with today’s fresh flown in fish on display.
We start out with two River Trout Cones embellished with very light smoke, preserved lemon, and fresh dill.
My husband enjoys Jamon Iberico ham so he had a Jose’s Taco (Jamon Iberico De Bellota, Ossetna Caviar, gold leaf, and nori)
This one was hard to share but possibly was my favorite small bite of the evening.
This is listed under mini sandwiches. It’s called bagel and lox and is made with Russ & Daughters smoked salmon. It’s a hallow but very crisp fish shaped bread with seeds. It’s filled with the airiest cream cheese ever. The bread is topped with silky lox that is embellished with crisp capers and fresh dill.
This one was great too but also was my husband’s favorite small bite plate. It’s the Bluefin Tuna and fried quail egg. It’s in a soy dashi broth with nori.
It might not look so small but you roll up the fish around the quail egg to eat it and it turns into a small bite.
Next was our main plate. We shared a grilled branzino type fish. it sits in a donostiarra sauce (Spanish sauce possibly made with parsley, sherry vinegar, garlic, and paprika) and is topped with sliced garlic and sea salt.
I accidentally got a few bites with too much salt for my taste but most of the fish was very good and melted in the mouth.
We also shared an incredible plate of Japanese Baby Peaches (with stracciatella cheese, hazelnuts, something crunchy, and za’atar).
It’s so interesting and so different! It’s also sort of light and refreshing. You are suppose to get a little bit of everything on your spoon and try it that way.
I thought the perfect dessert for tonight was the Arroz Con Leche Merengon (Meringue, Arroz Con Leche Espuma (foam), blood orange granita, Thai Basil)
It was light and refreshing. I thought it went perfect with all the plates we tried.
Then it was somebody’s birthday so they gave us this and two complimentary sparkling wines.
Service was amazing and the food was just incredible!
Bazaar Mar is certainly Worth a Fork!
