The Best Food I’ve Ever Eaten in Las Vegas

The Best Food I’ve Ever Eaten in Las Vegas
The list keeps growing. I’ve been going since 2003 and been blogging since 2011. I love food and when it comes to Las Vegas, it is tough to beat. The only problem you’ll have is finding the restaurants you want to spend you dollars because, my friend, there are just as many bad places to eat!
 

My advice: As with anything or anywhere, do you research!”

 
The below list is a list of greatest hits in Las Vegas and as I go back I keep adding more fantastic restaurants and dishes to my “must-go-back” list.
Las Vegas isn’t just for gamblers and night-clubbers (although I will never go back to a Vegas club again!). It is for foodies now more than ever and more world-class restaurants and popping up at an incomprehensible rate.
 
If you have been to any of these restaurants below leave a comment and let me know what you thought. 
If you think I’ve missed something let us all know about it in the comments too!

The Fountains add a hint of magic to your Las Vegas experience. ? by @trippingwithmybff

Perhaps one of the most expensive meals my husband and I have ever had together, Picasso is a fancy-ass place. You’ll recognize it from the Ocean’s 11 movie where Clooney sits down at Julia Roberts’ table as she awaits the arrival of Andi Garcia. 
The room is decorated with real Picasso paintings in the walls, the views are of the iconic Bellagio fountains and oh yeah the food is just as gorgeous!

Brunch is always a good idea.

Perhaps one of the best places to sit down and enjoy a proper breakfast of fresh juices, crepes and a fabulous crab benny that will set you right for the day. This is another classic and I urge you to dine outside so that you can people watch as well as enjoy the Bellagio fountains (without the crowds).

Gordon Ramsay Steak in Paris

Tender slices of heaven at Gordon Ramsay Steak. Can’t go wrong with the Beef Wellington. ?? #ForeverinParis @gordongram

Gordon Ramsay’s name is now synonymous with Vegas dining. He has 5 restaurants ranging in budgets and specialties. Gordon Ramsay Steak located in the Paris Hotel is one of those more upscale joints with his classics like scallops and beef wellington. It offers a very cool vibe and is two stories although I prefer to sit at the bar if you have a smaller party.

Celebrating #NationalCaviarDay with our signature Caviar Tacos, made with hackleback caviar, a Yukon gold potato shell and hamachi.

A post shared by Rose. Rabbit. Lie. (@roserabbitlie) on Jul 18, 2017 at 2:29pm PDT

 

One of the coolest places to have dinner and a show all in one. It is perfect for an entertaining night our with friends or your significant other, even if it is just for the night (hey, it’s Vegas!).
Food is upscale with offerings of caviar tacos (starting at $15 each) and beef wellington for 4 people or more ($275), although my husband and I were treated to a scaled down version for 2 at $150.
While the sticker shock may be turning you off, know that the music and entertainment portion makes everything well worth it and you won’t have to fork our any extra money to see a show during your stay.

Oh man, one of my personal favourites. It is David Chang’s classics brought to Vegas. The Cosmopoltain is the hotel you want to stay at if you’re in Vegas for the food. The amount of restaurants that are offering very unique atmospheres at different budgets and entrances like you are stepping into a world away from the classic kitsch you may associate with Las Vegas, simply amazing. 
Momofuku’s food is Asian inspired with fantastic twists. You’ll want to stop by Christina Tosi’s MilkBar for dessert too!

Gooey egg sandwiches/burgers are just the thing to kick that hangover, or many go to bed with after getting back to you hotel after a long night out. 
This is my go to for a decadent breakfast on the go! I love it so much I included it in my top 3 Las Vegas breakfasts!

Experience traditional Peking Duck at Wing Lei, the first Chinese restaurant in North America to earn a #Michelin star and the only @forbestravelguide Five-Star Award-winning Chinese restaurant in the country. Link in bio for more.

A post shared by Wynn Las Vegas (@wynnlasvegas) on Feb 26, 2019 at 3:22pm PST

 

The first Chinese restaurant in North America to win earn a Michelin Star which is pretty epic. My husband loves Chinese food and so I brought him here for his 30th birthday. Dumplings, Peking Duck, and if you want to get really exotic Wing Lei also offers marinated jelly fish, wok-tossed sea cucumber and Alaskan geo-duck clam. You’ve also got your classics like garlic beef tenderloin, Jidori chicken with chilli garlic sauce and so on.
Enjoy and thank me later!

The prime choice for steak on The Strip? Wolfgang Puck’s Cut.

A post shared by The Palazzo Las Vegas (@palazzovegas) on Aug 5, 2017 at 2:48pm PDT

 

This is where my family goes when we want to splurge on a steak. Cut is by Wolfgang Puck and he’s got the good no matter what kind of protein you are looking for. One of my favourites (if I’ve done well at the tables or slots) is the pure Japanese Waguy beef but you also have 21 or 35 day aged cuts as well as American Wagyu options. Another worthy mention, the bread basket they offer throughout your dinner is the thing for all carb lovers.

The best way to begin a new year? #Brunch. Bouchon has you covered with a special New Year’s Day menu. #HappyNewYear #NewYearsDay

A post shared by The Venetian Las Vegas (@venetianvegas) on Jan 1, 2019 at 10:00am PST

 

I decided to take a chance in the Venetian Hotel and Casino. I had stayed here once before and found the rooms to be extremely spacious and great for those who have families of 4 or just desire more luxury for a lower price. However, the only down side was the maze we needed to take daily to get to and from our rooms. This involved multiple elevators and hallways!

Anyways, on this night in Vegas, I needed some comfort which was why I chose Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bistro which specializes in French comfort food. It was my turn to treat two other guests that we ran into down in Las Vegas so I was crossing my fingers that the final bill wouldn’t have been as startling as Picasso’s.

We treated ourselves to a unique but classic take on Foie Gras served inside a terrine. We got the 5oz size and later regretted it due to all the bread we ate in our attempt to polish the jar clean. The bread itself was knee-buckiling! We then deiced to order the special which was duck with cherries accompanied by a sweet and savoury cornbread. The dinner was perfect and it restored my faith in the culinary talents available in Sin City. Luckily, this dinner did not break the bank ($340 for 4)!

Pin it!

    I will be in Vegas in October and will take your cue on Bouchon. I have dined in Valentino there (several years ago) and at several of the Bellagio restaurants (Le Cirque, Circo and Olives). There is no shortage of high-end dining in Vegas. Thanks for the review… Oh, and I love fois gras!

    Bises,

    I haven't been to Vegas in years and from what you have shown it's time to go back! Love blackjack but love the food even more and these dishes look yummy. Thanks for stopping by my blog and hope for more treats from yours!

    Murissa, I have not heard good things about Pshityoh's (notice the spelling).
    but I did have the pleasure of Bouchons Bistro. not a huge fan of the Frois Gras but the duck is great….you will have to go to Cut (for the best Steak in Vegas) or to Lavo (best pasta in Vegas) Cut is a little on the pricey side but well worth it and Lavo is very very affordable. I am sure you are a regular in Vegas the high roller you are (or can be!!!) thanks for another great post.
    remember, don't take a card on soft 20, it kills the table and it shows you might be a bit greedy…..

    I'm still in shock over $450 for 2!!! Shame on that restaurant for not having made you feel that it was worth the sit-down. And to think that it was in the Bellagio Hotel of all places.
