Mon Ami Gabi

This classic French bistro at Paris was recommended by more than a dozen of those surveyed, showing up most in the categories of French Casual and People Watching. Carver Road Hospitality V.P. Bryan Bass loves that you, “can sit out on the patio and watch the world pass by, yardstick margarita in hand, while you drink French wine and crush steak frites. Plus, the Bellagio Fountain goes off regularly directly across the street.”

You may have to charm the host/hostess, but the best seats in the house are definitely on the patio. From there, you’ll have a bird’s eye view of the throng of tourists walking the famed Las Vegas Strip.

Not-to-be-missed menu items include the signature onion soup au gratin with gruyère cheese; roast chicken with thick-cut bacon, mushrooms and pommes purée; and one of the prime steak frites with options of hanger or filet mignon topped with your choice of classic béarnaise sauce, brandy peppercorn sauce, maître d'hôtel butter, Bordeaux butter, crème fraiche or red wine reduction. And ordering wine is a breeze, thanks to the rolling wine cart which comes to your table.
