There are endless dining options for Asian food and other international cuisines in Chinatown Vegas, the three mile-plus strip located on and around Spring Mountain Rd.

In fact, it’s absolutely head-spinning to try and keep up with all the outstanding restaurants, along with the ones opening all the time.

Consider Le Café Central. It’s part of the revered Le Café du Vegas family which includes Le Cafe du Sud in Southern Highlands and Le Cafe du Val in Henderson.  Glad I stopped into the ultra-stylish and charming French eatery/bakery for weekend brunch ahead of its May 18 grand opening.

We ordered one of the house specials—a dreamy braised short rib sandwich on ciabatta, with Dijon mayo, and Gruyère cheese—and the seductively plated lox, avocado, and sliced hard-boiled egg salad. You can also easily fall into a tasty rabbit hole with their house made galettes, pastries, macarons, and crepes. Now you know where to go on Bastille Day (July 14).

For those who roll on the late side, Le Café Central offers dinner service on Fridays and Saturdays. With many casual restaurants closing in the late afternoon these days, this news is music to my ears.

Here is a detailed review about Le Cafe Central.
