MiX, located in the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino is truly a fine dining experience that needs to be highlighted.  Many restaurants feature a summer menu but only MiX, has one created by the creative and talented hands of Chef Bruno Riou.

 

 

 

 

With a decade of experience working alongside culinary legend, Alain Ducasse, Executive Chef Riou continues to roll out the culinary “red carpet” with intense flavors and well seasoned palate pleasing dishes.

The new summer menu is no exception  to this star quality line up.  Starting with the Chicken and Coconut Thai Soup, with crispy rice cracker, one is well on the way of embracing the flavors and textures of the Far East in this delightful bowl of  Thai perfection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Appetizer of Main Lobster salad with quinoa and coral dressing is a perfect bite of meaty crustacean accented with a sublime mellow coral dressing, embraced by a bed of humble, yet satisfying quinoa.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the fish course, the John Dory “Meuniere”   adorned with baby fennel and a summer condiment of heirloom tomato was indeed a favorite of all who tried this superbly prepared fish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The meat course of slightly glazed Pork Belly with a mango avocado salad was an intensely rich dish and one that needed the refreshing lift of the mango to help balance the flavors and textures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To finish this extravagant “SummeratMix” menu is summer fruit of sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb married together in one lovely granite, with yogurt cream and almond crumble.
