Terrace Pointe Café – Wynn Las Vegas

Terrace Pointe Café – Wynn Las Vegas

Some might say that breakfast is just…breakfast, but for me, this first meal of the day might just be my favorite.  Going out to breakfast is an opportunity to indulge in dishes one doesn’t always have time to prepare at home: corned beef hash, eggs benedict, homemade granola, good sausage and more.

When I go to Las Vegas for work, I try to stay on east coast time to make it easier for me to re-adjust when I get back home, so I’m always up early.  One of my guilty pleasures is to take a long walk as soon as I wake up.  This walk often takes me to Wynn Las Vegas for breakfast.  My special place: Terrace Pointe Café.

If you’ve not stayed or visited Wynn Las Vegas, you’re missing out on experiencing just how a luxury hotel should look and feel.  It’s over-the-top in all aspects, but with understated flair.  Terrace Pointe Café is meant to be Wynn’s more casual dining experience, but standard it is not.  The space is bright, cheery and opulent and offers beautiful views of the outdoor pool area.  There is outside dining, but the indoor seating, positioned right off a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, offers an outdoorsy feel that’s just super first thing in the morning.

Berries, Granola and Yogurt at Wynn

Food-wise, breakfast at Terrace Pointe Café is outstanding.  First, the coffee cups are actually mugs and a pot of java is left at each table so guests can help themselves.  Call me crazy, but I love this, especially after a night of over-indulgence.  The menu is diverse and offers options everyone will enjoy, but one of my favorites is the house-made granola over rich yogurt with various berries.  Yea, it’s granola and fruits, no, it’s not the stuff you have at home – at all.  The fruits and berries served are of the highest quality and presented in their freshest state.  Another favorite is the breakfast sandwich which is part croquet-monsieur, grilled cheese and French toast.  The dish is served open-faced with a side of perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, hash browns.  You’ll see from the photo I took that the hash browns aren’t just slapped on the plate as most do, they’re cut into a perfect square and placed on the plate – à la Wynn.

I highly recommend starting your day at Terrace Pointe Café at least once while in Sin City.  The place is serene, relaxing and completely un-Vegas, as seems to be the norm at Wynn Last Vegas.
