James Beard Award finalist and owner and chef of Esther’s Kitchen, Chef James Trees is busy with several evolving projects. As What Now reported earlier this year, Esther’s Kitchen is in the process of making the move down the street into the Retro Vegas building.
According to recent coverage in the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Trees is also up to something new downtown: a French Bistro called Bar Bohème, which is expected to open on Main Street a year to eighteen months from now. It will be accompanied by a cocktail bar, La Petite Bohème, just behind it in a standalone building.
What Now reached out to Chef James Trees on Tuesday. Trees was not available for comment. Asked for a description of the menu, he told the Review-Journal, “Very French…. I really want to do brasserie food well.”
Opening Downtown, Bar Bohème will be part of a thriving food and drink community in which its owner and chef is already playing a big part. Trees also owns two concepts in Tivoli Village: Al Solito Posto and Ada’s Wine Bar.
