French Riviera (La Tropézienne) Bakery is set to turn up the heat in Downtown Las Vegas with a hot new opening. According to a City of Las Vegas permit, the French Riviera is expected to open at 401 S 6th St.
Owner Franck Khalifa confirmed the opening in a conversation with What Now Las Vegas, but was unable to share more details by the time of this publication. However, Khalifa mentioned that work on the new eatery was underway, so we suspect the new French Riviera will open this summer.
Its companion Vegas Valley shop sits on Cimmarron. There’s also a location in Henderson.
“The French Riviera Bakery is a lot more more than just another French bakery in Henderson & Las Vegas,” The French Riviera website reads.
“Sure, we want our clients to experience the best of what French baking has to offer. But we also worked to bring the American culture into our French pastries. Cinnamon Rolls, cream-filled Croissants, Kit Kat Chocolate Croissants, Pistachio Rolls, and many other unique & innovative desserts are waiting for you!”
The space where the new bakery will live was once home to the famous French eatery, André’s. In 1980, legendary chef André Rochat opened the eatery. It became a cornerstone of the Vegas culinary scene before closing on New Year’s Eve in 2008.
Now, in its own way, the French Riviera (La Tropézienne) Bakery is reviving the old feelings associated with the space, bringing authentic sweet treats and eats to the area.
“Our two pastry chefs went to the best culinary schools in France and learned from the best pastry chefs in the world to perfect their craftsmanship. The excellence they acquired at baking lies in the reaction of every single client walking out their door once they bite into our creations,” the brand’s website reads.
“The constant innovation and competition in the pastry world keeps pushing our pastry chefs to find new flavors and ideas. Each week, you will have surprises. We are waiting for you to find out!”
From savory selections like the Lorraine Quiche to sweet best sellers like the Crepe Vanilla Berry, the French Riviera has something to tickle everyone’s French fancy. The Bakery is even of service for special occasions.
“Whether you need a cake for a birthday party, a wedding, or any other celebration, whether you want Vegan or Kosher cakes, our chefs can help you get exactly what you have in mind. Flavors will be unmatched with any other cake shop in town, we guarantee the satisfaction of our clients,” the French Riviera website reads.
“Stop with these tasteless custom cakes that nobody likes. We can do much better. Really. Like much much better. All you need to do is fill out a form by clicking the button below and explaining what you need. We will get you the best proposal you can get.”
