Parisian Haute Cuisine Finds a Home in Las Vegas Fine Dining on the Strip with French Saveur and French Savoir Carey W.
World-class Parisian chefs are truly the key ingredients to creating an authentic French atmosphere in Las Vegas. From the daring Pierre Gagnaire to world-renowned Joel Robuchon and Alain Ducasse, it is easy to entrust your taste buds to the French masters during your visit to the Vegas strip.
Pierre Gagnaire boasts restaurants all over the world and has recently ventured to Vegas with Twist, his modern take on classic French food, located on the 23rd floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Gagnaire is known for his eclectic and successful experimentation with a range of textures and tastes. Try his beef sirloin with escargot sauce and an unusual side of broccoli ice cream or tomato fig tart. Though dining at Twist requires a desire for the bold and unusual, foodies recognize Gagnaire’s fearlessness in his craft.
One of the “Three Musketeers” of top French chefs from Paris is Guy Savoy. His creations are world-renowned and in 2002, Savoy was voted Chef of the Year in France. Make a reservation at Guy Savoy in Caesars Palace to submit yourself to his seasonal ten-course meal, or order a-la-carte options such as veal filet mignon stuffed with yellow and green courgettes and aubergines.
The Guy Savoy wine list is renowned at its flagship location in Paris, and Savoy has recently added his handpicked selection to his Las Vegas restaurant. The list offers the finest wines from Bordeaux, Alsace and Languedoc, each meticulously prepared and aged by France’s finest wineries. Such luxury necessitates a “wine flight” while dining at Guy Savoy in Las Vegas — enjoy a glass of wine for each course of your meal, expertly paired by Savoy’s trusted connoisseurs.
Another member of the "Three Musketeers" is master French chef, Joel Robuchon, with his accumulation of 26 Michelin awards. At each of his locations around the world, he has time and again proven his culinary prowess. L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon is located at the MGM Grand Hotel and boasts an open kitchen where you can watch genius unfold. Perfectly seasoned mussels and foie gras in a port wine and cheese foam are examples of the creator’s French roots. For tasting pleasures, dishes are served as inventive portions, tapas-style.
Joel Robuchon is his namesake and the only restaurant in Vegas with three Michelin stars, along with top ratings from AAA and Forbes. Robuchon’s modern interpretations of classic French fare manifest beautifully in dishes like pan-fried sea bass with lemon grass and leeks, and “Le Chocolat,” an irresistible melted dark chocolate cake with coffee ice cream and roasted Arabica crunch.
Alain Ducasse is the final "musketeer" and holds a total of nineteen Michelin stars. His latest venture is Mix in Mandalay Bay where head chef Bruno Rious oversees the creation of your pepper-crusted bison tenderloin or sauteed prawns in a delicious coral vinaigrette. Mix is also known as a steakhouse for its magnificent cuts of beef and selection of 1,200 fine wines to pair, all fit for French royalty. For anyone seeking the luxury and refinement of Parisian cuisine, Mix is a must.
The French are famous for their expertise in culinary innovation. Las Vegas restaurants embody the best Parisian chefs have to offer, and deliver an authentic meal with the ambience and sophistication of the city’s top hotels. Whether you opt for the exotic flavors of Pierre Gagnaire or stay true to French roots and a twist of modernity with Robuchon, you are sure to enjoy your French dining experience.
