On Saturday, Martha Stewart, celebrity lifestyle guru, will be joining the many celebrities who own “signature” restaurants in Las Vegas. The Bedford by Martha Stewart will be located at the Paris, in Las Vegas. But this new restaurant is not about Paris, it’s about experiencing a little taste of Martha’s own town in the Hudson Valley.
Stewart stated that her first restaurant will be a fully immersive concept designed to bring her famous Bedford farmhouse to life in the most unlikely of places, Sin City. “I am so thrilled to open the doors to The Bedford at Paris Las Vegas, my first-ever restaurant,” Martha Stewart said, announcing the grand opening dates. “We have worked tirelessly to bring my farmhouse in Bedford, New York to life in Las Vegas, and I think visitors will be enchanted by what we have come up with. These are the same dishes that I serve to family and friends in my own home.”
While the Hudson Valley-inspired farm-to-table cuisine is widespread in the Northeast, it’s not so well-known yet in Sin City. Martha is hoping that it won’t prove to be too exotic for the new location.
Located in the now-closed buffet space at the Paris, The Bedford was developed by Stewart and her team of culinary experts. The menu features cuisine made with fresh ingredients sourced locally. The restaurant boasts French-inspired cuisine and a combination of Stewart’s favorite recipes, all in a setting that evokes her famous farmhouse. A few of her favorite suppliers, including the Las Vegas Farmers Market, Dartagnan Inc., Urbani Truffles, Roe Caviar, Frog Hollow Farm, Jasper Hill Farm and Vermont Creamery will also be featured.
Some of the dining options on offer will be: the Classic Niçoise Salad, “made with olive oil-packed tuna, haricot verts, vermouth-dressed potatoes, hard-cooked egg and topped with an anchovy vinaigrette.” For seafood lovers there are the Oysters Rockefeller, “baked with Pernod cream, spinach and watercress, and finished with a crunchy parsley breadcrumb topping.”
Some of the main course selections may go dramatic through table-side and interactive presentations: a “Whole Roast Herb Chicken, carved tableside and Martha’s Smashed Baked Potato, smashed tableside and served with crème fraiche, chives and bacon lardons or for those looking to indulge, Golden Osteria caviar.”
One of Martha’s signature desserts on the menu will be the Upside-Down Lemon Meringue Pie, with a “crisp meringue crust, tart lemon filling and a whipped cream topping.”
Signature cocktails will include the “Martha-tini, made with Żubrówka bison grass vodka, dry vermouth and a lemon twist, and the Frozen Pomegranate Martha-rita, created with Casa Dragones Blanco tequila, Cointreau, pomegranate juice, and a salt and sugar rim.” The restaurant will also feature Martha’s Chard, her California chardonnay made in collaboration with the 19 Crimes brand.
Paris Las Vegas General Manager Jason Gregorec has stated, “The opening of The Bedford by Martha Stewart further establishes Paris Las Vegas as a must-visit culinary destination.”
