Jean Philippe

Jean Philippe is the executive pastry chef of Jean Philippe located at the Aria & Bellagio Hotels is Las Vegas Nevada. 

Visit the largest chocolate fountain in the world; verified by the Guiness World Records.  The chocolate fountain cascades from ceiling to floor.  The funny part is we didn't notice the ceiling part as when we saw the chocolate flowing, we just got too excited as our eyes zeroed in the chocolate.  It was the following day that we realized what we missed the first time.



The pastry shop has all sorts of his signature chocolates (too pretty to eat), cakes, pastries, candies, coffee, tea and various gift items. You will have to just see and eat for yourselves.  We didn't want to just eat sweets so Sandi and I shared a delicious Vegetable Quiche, Cheese Danish and Cinnamon Roll. We both thought it would have been wonderful if the Danish and the Cinnamon Roll were heated so as to get the crunchy and soft texture plus the icing on the cinnamon roll would have been best if it had melted a bit. There were too many things to try and not enough time.




Just outside Jean Philippe's store at the Aria, there is another impressive dragon sculpture made of chocolate.  This is one dragon I would not mind meeting or eating anytime!


FYI:  In 1997, Jean Philippe had the title of "Meilleur Ouvier de France" which translates to "Best Pastry Chef in France."
