The 13 best French restaurants in Las Vegas

When Guy Savoy opened his namesake restaurant at Caesars Palace in 2006, he joked about being “imported” to America and laughed about how his Las Vegas restaurant had one thing none of his famed Parisian ones did: a view of the Eiffel Tower. Sure, it’s a twinkling replica, but nice in its own right. Restaurant Guy Savoy offers both a tasting menu and à la carte options. The “Colors of Caviar,” artichoke and black truffle soup and seared foie gras are legendary dishes not to be missed. The restaurant also has its own valet entrance, so you won’t have to slog through the casino to get there.

L’Atelier is French theater at its finest. The casual atmosphere relaxes diners and prepares them for a symphony of delicate, meticulously prepared small plates that are assembled right in front of guests as they sit at the counter and watch in awe. Tuck into the seasonal nine-course tasting menu that could include items like truffled langoustine ravioli or foie gras parfait and prepare to be wowed.

This Michelin-starred restaurant at MGM Grand carries on the legacy of late chef Joël Robuchon. Going all out here means an hours-long multi-course dinner. From the puff pastry starter and Ossetra caviar served atop king crab to delicate sea scallops and roasted duck, by the time the dessert cart rolls up to end your French feast, Robuchon will have you feeling like royalty.

Anything that you could possibly fantasize about is probably somewhere in this brasserie. Thanks to chef Michael Mina, you can expect contemporary takes on classic dishes (don’t skip the beef Wellington), ample vino and—of course—a cart of bubbly champagne. On weekend mornings, Bardot packs ’em in with its popular brunch, where you can order a variety of croissant Benedicts, brioche French toast with vanilla mascarpone and almond brittle, or beef short rib hash.

Executive chefs Yuri Szarzewski and Aymeric Delouis helm this standout French restaurant in the city’s Chinatown neighborhood. Partage serves modern French cuisine in a unique five-, seven- or nine-course format. The surprise tasting menus highlight seasonal ingredients and diners can add foie gras, caviar or wine pairings for an additional cost.

LPM’s combination of art, fresh flowers and shareable dishes makes for an inviting atmosphere. Located in the Cosmopolitan, LPM specializes in French Mediterranean cuisine. Seafood stars here; oysters and escargot are popular starters and entrees include chickpea ratatouille, salt baked sea bass, and orange-glazed duck with endive.

Inside this bistro and oyster bar, the much-heralded Thomas Keller serves authentic French country fare modeled after the cuisine served in the original bouchons of Lyon. Smoked salmon rillettes and country style pâté with watercress, cornichons and radishes are among the favorites on a menu that includes roast chicken, steak frites, croque madame, pot de crème and a lemon tart.

The dishes at this Vegas institution are as imaginative and creative as the space itself, which overlooks the Bellgaio fountain. Fun and colorful is an understatement here with inventive French fare served in tasting menu form with items that change seasonally but include dishes such as a lobster salad, black truffle risotto, braised rabbit and wagyu striploin.

It’s no surprise that Paris Las Vegas would install a fine French dining room in the base of its mock Eiffel Tower, which overlooks the Bellagio fountains across the street. What comes out of the kitchen is truly unique and scene stealing in its own right. From cold foie gras torchon with duck prosciutto and fig compote to a venison chop with huckleberry jus or herb-roasted rack of lamb, these dishes delight.

Alain Ducasse brings the flavors of southern France to the top of the Delano. The restaurant features expansive views of the Strip and wonderfully plated dishes like paccheri pasta with braised short ribs, Alaskan wild halibut and maple leaf duck breast. A tasting menu is also available and the adjacent Skyfall Lounge is worth the trip to the 64th floor even if you’re only coming in for cocktails.
