Bites of Europe is a European Style Restaurant and Bar in Las Vegas Nevada.

They offer European Style foods that you might be familiar with like pierogi, schnitzel, and cabbage rolls. They also offer some Other Foods that you might not expect like Norwegian Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs, Lunch Paninis, Pumpernickel Fries, and Fish and Chips.

We started out by sharing the Norwegian Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs.

They are milder softer deviled eggs embellished with dill and capers wrapped with smoked salmon. Good but I personally would have preferred the capers to be fried crisp instead of fried moist.

We also shared the fried potato and cheese pierogi.

These pierogi are fried very nicely and also come with very good caramelized onions. The pierogi dough here is whisper thin. Inside is different…. I don’t really taste the cheese but I can tell some dairy is mixed into the potato filling. My guess is that maybe a little bit of Farmer’s Cheese might have been used here?

For our main we share the Turkey and Rice Cabbage Rolls (no sour cream at my request). With mashed potatoes.

The sauce is much thicker and a lot less sweet than what I’m used to. Inside seems mostly like ground turkey…..tasty

We have to try the dessert of the day that was lemon semifreddo with peaches.

It was a nice sweet ending to a nice meal out.

Bramare is a fine dining Italian Inspired restaurant, cocktail, and wine bar located in Las Vegas Nevada only about ten minutes from the strip. They are open for dinner and late night dinner. Some of the food they offer are small plates that serve one to two people like onion focaccia with olive-caper spread, king salmon collar with Calabrian chile and agrodolce. A couple of the medium plates that serve around two to three people are things like wagyu hanger steak, and brick oven chicken. They also offer large plates that might serve four or more people such as porchetta with root vegetables and salsa verde, and twenty eight day dry aged Flannery rib steak. They also offer a variety of pastas, pizzas, and more.

It seems dark when you walk in and you notice that there are no visible windows inside.

Instead of candles they have these spiffy thin lanterns that light up the table surface really great.

We shared several small plates-

Funghi Fritti – with garlic and Chile sauce, pecorino cheese – the honshimeji mushrooms have a thin crisp coating and are delicious with all the flavors and a mild heat.

Fresh baked Onion Focaccia with olive caper dip – tasty

King Salmon Collar with Calabrian spicy cucumbers and agrodolce. The salmon is caramelized and MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH amazing and also delicious with interesting flavors. I do like the spicy cucumber salad but for my taste it is overpowering for the salmon so I ate them separate.

For our main we shared a medium plate of Beef Cheek Brasato with chili, verde fregola, and parsley salad.Tender beef and the parsley salad adds a nice fresh taste to it. LOTS of tasty firm fregola…This one can stretch to three servings.

With the beef cheek brasato we also had a small plate of broccolini.

This broccolini is really great!!!!! It’s a mix of crunchy and cooked with tasty flavors from black garlic cream, breadcrumbs, and pecorino cheese……

We were pretty full but decided to try hazelnut and pistachio gelato.

It was a nice sweet ending.

Cafe Breizh is located in Las Vegas Nevada. They offer fine French Baked Goods, some grocery, and also serve breakfast and some French Cafe Type Meals like galettes, crepes, salads, hot & cold sandwiches, and platters.

As you enter you get so see so many pastries……

YIKES! This is only a small fraction of what to see…………What to get? think I’m gaining weight just looking at all of them.

Then you make it to the dining room if you are ordering a meal.

My husband tried to order the croque madame but we were told they were all sold out of them today so he went with the La Tartiflette Galette not knowing that it was a buckwheat crepe……In America galettes are flat pies.

This Galette is stuffed with prosciutto, roblechon cheese, potatoes, onion, and cream.

I tried a salmon platter.

I got toasted brioche bread, smoked salmon with capers, cucumber slices, sweet tomatoes with onions, lemon, and chive cream.

I thought both desserts we tried were fabulous!

Lemon Tart

Brownie – quality chocolate and lots of it but very rich…..

That was a little taste of

They were adorned with pesto, grana padano, arugula, and oil.

For my main I had the Insalata Nizzarda.

This bountiful salad was made with confit blue fin tuna, seasoned hard boiled egg, olives, green beans, potatoes, and a salsa verde aioli.

My husband had the Gnocchi.

This plate was made of semolina dumplings, pork sausage ragu, onions, spicy tomato passata and cheese.

Everything was perfect and delicious.

Famous Chicago Style Tacos is a small casual order at the counter taco restaurant located in a strip mall on Craig Road in North Las Vegas NV.

Besides tacos they also offer a few breakfast items, burritos, a quesadilla, nachos, tortas, a taco salad, and fries.

I got three tacos. Two chicken tacos and one carne asada.

I got small sized but very well packed double shelled corn tacos. I like the chicken tacos more than the asada…………because the asada doesn’t have much flavor to it…..On the side are three bottles of house salsas to try with them. One of the green salsas is FLAMING HOT…..The red salsa seems medium to me, and the mild green salsa has much more flavors in it than the others………I like using the mild because of all the flavors and in the middle I use one of the spicier salsas and it works well for me that way.

My husband got four tacos with rice and beans.

Rice and beans are average. Some tacos are better tasting than others…….

(carnitas good but a little dry today. barbacoa maybe the best tasting of all the tacos. cecina ((thin salted steak)) a little dry and not as delicious as the barbacoa. chorizo good.)

Reasonably priced and Worth a Try! (Lunch for two was under $30.)

Namu Korean Tapas & BBQ is located in the North/West Part of Las Vegas Nevada. This restaurant offers a menu of Tapas items and also Korean BBQ. Soft Beverages and Soju, and beer are served here.

The main dining room is a mix of tables and booths. Smaller rooms are also available.

They start you off with radish, kimchi, and fish cakes.

Then it’s up to you on what to try………..

We started with the fresh “MADE IN HOUSE RICOTTA” Salad.

It sure isn’t “Tapas” sized to me but both of us thought that this was an unusually delicious salad. Something about the creamy fresh cheese, almonds, and vinegar is so good! We packed most of this up for latter.

Felt different about the next plate. It’s a BIG FAT NO!

These were Kalbi Short Rib Balls. They came out all dried out and not so tasty…..I can NOT recommend getting them to anyone 🙁 🙁 🙁

The salmon carpaccio was interesting and different with pesto on it……..This was good.

Tasty…..and have leftovers to bring back for latter.

They called this a bulgogi arancini………..To us it is not arancini but really was tasty…They should call it Korean Bulgogi and parm rice ball.

My husband can fit in another plate so he tried the Korean Sausage with a tasty honey mustard.

He called this hot dogs…..

Double Zero Pie & Pub is located in China Town in Las Vegas Nevada. They say that they are a Neo-Neapolitan Tokyo Style Pizza Shop. (on my visits I noticed the double Duo does periodically change)

A few of the appetizers have ingredients in them such as yuzu kosho, aged fish sauce, and enoki mushrooms.

It’s not a big place so you might need a reservation.

Here’s the Burrata E Pesto Pizza (white sauce, for Di Latte, Dorati Tomatoes, Basil, Pistachio Pesto, Burrata, Parmesan Frico, Balsamic Glaze)

The crust is thin with a thick chewy blistered edge and is developed with flavors. I don’t really notice a white sauce but there is a very good play of flavors between the cheeses, pistachio pesto, tomatoes, and balsamic.

The Funghi Pizza has a white sauce that also isn’t very noticeable. It also contains fior di latte, mozzarella, garlic butter mushrooms, charred green onion, parmesan, chives, and sea salt. Today the mushrooms are kinda hard and slightly burnt tasting but the crust is very good.

TheEggplant Caponata also is made of red sauce, fior di latte, Dorati Tomatoes, Calabrian Chili Oil, olive tapenade, herb labneh, and chives. Tasty but I’m not really feeling caponata here….Maybe more like eggplant pizza only because I’m not getting the sweet and sour that caponata normally has.

The Diavola (Red Sauce, Fior Di Latte, Spicy Sausage, Giardiniera, Spicy Soppressata, Marinated Roasted Peppers) Is not for Tenderfoots and so far is my husband’s favorite pizza that he tried here.

That was a little Taste of Double Zero Pie & Pub.
