THE NAME PAMPLEMOUSSE
WAS THE IDEA OF LONGTIME GEORGES LA FORGE'S FRIEND
AND INTENDED PARTNER BOBBY DARIN
Bobby thought Pamplemousse was the most beautiful word in the French language (it reminded him of chocolate mousse and Champagne) Though Darin's untimely death in 1973 precluded the partnership, Georges kept the name in tribute and memory of his friend. Standing before the modest little tract home that was to be the site of a dream come true, Georges visionary creativity began to swirl. From beneath his talented hands and natural flair for design, like a phoenix rising from the ash, emerged the intimate rendez-vous spot for friend and lovers alike
Pamplemousse cajoles the senses with gentle lighting, soft-hued decor and small, private dining nooks that add a tone of intimacy to a superb dining experience.
From 1976, after 35 years of success Pamplemousse is still considered one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas

The front parking gets only 4 spaces and only accessible from Joe Brown. Plenty of parking on the side of restaurant and beyond including the two next buildings. Disregard sign about "private property on buildings" (Pamplemousse storage). . Parking on the side street is ok, not on Sahara Avenue...
