French restaurants in Las Vegas

  1. A

    Andre’s

    Chef André Rochat’s Provençal-decorated 1930s bungalow shows that casino hotels don’t have a monopoly on haute cuisine. Interior dining rooms may feel claustrophobic and look awfully dated, but loyal patrons appreciate the Michelin-starred traditions. Seasonal highlights on the provincial French menu might include pan-seared duck foie gras with baked apples and five-spice crème anglaise. Sommelier-led wine flights from the world-class cellar are pricey. Reservations essential; dress well.

    Joël Robuchon

    The acclaimed ‘Chef of the Century’ leads the pack in the French invasion of Las Vegas. Adjacent to the Mansion, a high-rollers’ gaming area, plush dining rooms done up in leather and velvet imitate 1930s Paris. There are complex seasonal tasting menus ($85 to $385). Reservations essential but difficult to get. At less-expensive L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon ($$$) next door, bar seats front an exhibition kitchen.

    Restaurant Guy Savoy

    With Strip-view windows overlooking Caesars’ Roman Plaza, this intimate dining room is the only US endeavor of three-star Michelin chef Guy Savoy. Both the culinary concepts and the prices reach heavenly heights. Pop by the Bubble Bar for champagne flights and delicate small plates such as artichoke and black-truffle soup. Jacket and tie required. Reservations essential but difficult to get.

    Mon Ami Gabi

    Think très charming Champs Élysées bistro. Breezy patio tables in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower are parfait for alfresco dining and people-watching. Though the French fare is far from magnifique, they’ve got classic steak frites; vegetarian crepes, quiches and salads; special gluten-free selections; and a respectable wine list. Reservations recommended.

    Le Cirque

    A legendary name from NYC, Le Cirque pairs artful haute cuisine with world-class wines in a joyous, intimate lakeside setting under a silk-tented ceiling. Foie gras terrine, roasted truffle-skin chicken and roasted duck with Tasmanian honey are among the signature dishes. Service can be spotty and portions remarkably small. Reservations essential; jacket and tie preferred for men.

    Bouchon

    Napa Valley wunderkind Thomas Keller’s rendition of a Lyonnaise bistro features a seasonal menu of French classics. The poolside setting complements the oyster bar and an extensive raw seafood selection. Decadent breakfasts and brunches, imported cheeses and a superb French and Californian wine list all make an appearance. Service has its ups and downs.

    Alizé

    Las Vegas chef André Rochat’s top-drawer gourmet room is named after a gentle Mediterranean trade wind. Enjoyed by nearly every table, the panoramic floor-to-ceiling views of the glittering Strip are even more stunning than the haute French cuisine. A wine-bottle tower dominates the room. Reservations here are essential. Dress to the nines.

    Twist by Pierre Gagnaire

    If Twist’s sparkling nighttime Strip views don’t make you gasp, the high-modern French cuisine by this three-star Michelin chef just might. Seasonal tasting menus ($185) range from squid-ink gnocchetti topped by carrot gelée or langoustine with seaweed ice cubes to asparagus ice cream with tart green apples. Reservations essential.

    Payard Bistro

    Third-generation chef and chocolatier Françoise Payard re-creates classic French bistro tastes as rich as the handcrafted woodwork, leather banquettes and crystal chandelier in the bright dining room. Out front is a divine pâtisserie and espresso bar for quick pick-me-ups.

    Jean-Philippe Patisserie

    The world’s largest chocolate fountain cascades inside this champion pastrymaker’s shop, known for its fantastic sorbets, gelatos and chocolate confections. Sugar-free sweets don’t disappoint either.
