YE OLDE KING'S HEAD
Read moreThe most famous English pub of L.A. is located in Santa Monica. More tourism is difficult… but the quality of the kitchen fills everything, and the number of draught beers also: more than varieties. Fish chips are perfectly appropriate, since this pub is half way between the Third Promenade and the Santa Monica coast. If you are in Santa Monica on St. Patrick's Day, it is simply… the place to be. A very British place for those nostalgic for the old continent but also for the compulsive revellers!
CHADO TEA ROOM
Read moreIt is above all a shop where an impressive variety of teas is sold. However, it is the perfect place for a light lunch, soup, salad or sandwich. And in the afternoon it is possible to take tea accompanied by a assortment of fine pastries and small sandwiches. The tea party is difficult to do better.
LAGO by Julian Serrano
Read moreThis elegant Italian restaurant serves inventive, well-presented and delicious cuisine. Under the windows of the main hall of the Lago - or better yet, on its terrace - marvel at the spectacle of the Bellagio fountains and enjoy an unforgettable evening. However, this is not an address for the big budget: the pasta menu is quite affordable. There are classics such as lasagna, linguine with pesto, mushroom risotto, or more original creations like lobster ravioli.
NINE FINE IRISHMEN
Read moreThe Nine Fine Irishmen is one of the good restaurants in New York-New York, whose name is inspired by the story of nine Irish prisoners who lived extraordinary fates in the 19th century. Among the specialties (Irish, of course), try the Chicken Pot Pie or the Irish Bangers, famous and very consistent. The place also distinguishes itself by its vast choice of beers and whiskey. Pub atmosphere on the first floor, more muffled upstairs, with a soft and subdued light, and some places for a dinner for two.
DELLA'S KITCHEN
Read moreDella's Kitchen is located on the first floor of the Delano, next to beautiful columns clad in white drapery, in a stunningly understated, modern setting. Open since 2014, the restaurant welcomes you for breakfast and lunch. It offers a wide combination of dishes with ingredients of unparalleled freshness. Among the specialties, you will be able to taste many variations of omelets and eggs Benedict. This place also stands out for its commitment to sustainable desert cuisine.
Andiamo Italian Steakhouse
Read moreOpened by chef Joe Vicari, this combination of American and Italian cuisine proved its worth in the Detroit area before moving to the D Casino & Hotel in Las Vegas. It's the ideal place to feast on a fine piece of meat of undeniable quality, although you can also set your sights on a plate of fresh pasta, good fish or seafood. All this in a cosy setting with dark, woody tones.
PARK ON FREMONT
Read moreAfter passing through a room with a baroque décor bordering on the psychedelic, we arrive in a flowered courtyard similar to a small garden. Trees and plants stand next to paintings to create a sort of oasis far from the bustle of Fremont Street, which is only disturbed by the music - too loud - of the DJ. An address that we particularly recommend for brunch, when the Mimosas accompany the avocado toasts and other healthy and tasty plates. However, coffee lovers may be disappointed: the options are rather limited.
JUAN'S FLAMING FAJITAS & CANTINA
Read moreThis unpretentious Mexican canteen offers a quality cuisine at very reasonable prices, served in a large room with a colorful and kitschy decoration. Some dishes are flambéed in front of the customers in big pots. You can taste nachos, variations of fajitas, burritos and tacos. This restaurant also offers specialties that will take you to the heart of Mexico. It is also possible to take advantage of different lunch formulas.
KIMCHI KOREAN BBQ

A truly original culinary discovery that you will enjoy in the middle of the night.
ABURIYA RAKU
Read moreEquipped with only a few tables, this Japanese bistro serves a seemingly simple cuisine, but of great subtlety. No sushi here. The chef, concentrated, prepares behind the bar small plates of vegetables, fish skewers and grilled pieces of meat served as tapas. We advise you to come in large numbers to try as many dishes as possible. If you are interested, let yourself be tempted by the Omakase, a delicious tasting menu that will take you on a journey to Japan. Reservations are highly recommended.
THE STEAK HOUSE
Read moreOf all the steakhouses in Las Vegas, present in every hotel without exception, this one is our favorite because of the incredible quality of its meats, fish and seafood. On the menu: filet mignon, chicken breast, salmon fillet, boiled lobster tail, roasted beef rib, lamb chops, porterhouse - steak cut from the short loin - king crab legs... A few salads and appetizers are also offered to accompany everything. A very good address established in Circus Circus for about thirty years.
TOP OF THE WORLD
Read moreThe famous Le Strat restaurant is not a place where you go for a "grand dinner", but rather for a dinner on a high: here, the view and the experience justify the price. As part of the package, a free ride is included. That's right: the restaurant rotates 360°. Nevertheless, Top of the World imposes a rather strict dress code: clothing that might be associated with the beach or sport is forbidden, as are outfits that are too "revealing". In addition, each guest must spend a minimum of US$55 on food.
AMERICA
Read moreThis is one of New York-New York's hottest spots, serving burgers and nacho plates of generous proportions. In this very patriotic setting, don't forget to take a look at the large 27-metre by 6-metre relief mural depicting the map of the United States with the country's most emblematic landmarks. America also stands out for its dessert menu. Baked daily, the doughnuts, pastries and other desserts will take your taste buds on a journey to a world of delights.
DICK’S LAST RESORT
Read moreThis self-proclaimed "Shame of the Strip" restaurant has elevated the heavy joke to the level of the art of living. The menu features a "Big Ass Burrito" for a hangover or the famous Dick's Big Meat Challenge, which consists of two steaks, a sausage and lots of other dishes. In this establishment, the waiters make paper hats and distribute felt-tips to the customers so that they decorate them with patterns of their choice... One will come there for the offbeat atmosphere, more than for the food...

HAKKASAN RESTAURANT
Read moreA modern Chinese-inspired cuisine in an elaborately designed setting. You can eat good melting fish, just steamed, and wok specialties that mix lobster and minced meats without forgetting many appetizers (shrimps, pork, chicken, wagyu beef). The restaurant also offers a duck prepared according to the Hong Kong recipe. The chef Pinyo Saewu changes his menu very regularly. Note that the Hakkasan restaurant also houses, on other levels of the casino, the MGM Grand nightclub of the same name.
RAINFOREST CAFE
Read moreAround a few tables set up in the middle of lianas and palm trees, you can enjoy wraps, sandwiches, salads, soups, pasta (the Creole Mac'n'Cheese with shrimps and sausage!), hamburgers with tropical names without forgetting fish and seafood, while the waterfalls flow. The establishment also offers a brunch without forgetting the traditional happy hour. It is the ideal place for an exotic adventure with the family. Only the choice of desserts leaves a little to be desired, as the menu is not very extensive.
SINATRA
Read moreA mini-exhibition dedicated to the crooner has been set up in the entrance of the restaurant. It shows the Oscar he received as an actor, photos of him with Audrey Hepburn and the founder of the place, Steve Wynn. Framed is a touching letter from Samy Davis Jr. thanking Frank for his friendship. The Sinatra serves classic Italian cuisine at a rather upscale level. On the menu: antipasti, risotto, pasta, meats, all to the tune of Dancing in The Dark. The choice of antipasti is large and varied with an assortment of cheeses and salami for two.
WING LEI
Read moreThe first Chinese restaurant in North America to be awarded a star by the Michelin Guide, Wing Lei offers excellent cuisine, served in an elegant dining room amidst upside-down golden jars. You'll taste refined flavors from Canton, Shanghai and Sichuan, ingeniously revisited and combined by chef Ming Yu. The crispy Imperial Peking Duck, to be rolled in small pancakes and dipped in the house sauce, is a delight - and a very expensive one.
PHANTOM RANCH CANTEEN
Read moreA canteen for hikers and mule trekkers from the North and South Rims. There's no need to arrive for a meal without first making a reservation on the website. The canteen operates on a schedule for breakfast and dinner. Lunchboxes can also be ordered. Two options are available for dinner: steak dinner and stew dinner, both with beef. A vegetarian version is also available. An ideal place for those who love the chalet atmosphere.
GRAND CANYON LODGE
Read moreGrand Canyon Lodge offers several types of dining options (Dining Room, Deli in the Pines and Roughrider Saloon). The first one offers simple and good food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) in a pleasant setting (magnificent view on the North Rim), the second one offers a fast food without more which will be convenient to eat on the run. Finally, we will stop at the last one for a coffee, a breakfast or to quench our thirst with a cold beer in a saloon atmosphere after a hike, a slice of pizza in hand. Small terrace to enjoy the sun.
CROSS EYED COW PIZZA
Read moreLocated off Route 66 at the northern entrance to town, this is a place that can't be missed for its fun exterior design, with a multi-colored cow on the roof and a white and red checkered water tower.
On the menu: pizzas, salads and burgers in a very successful setting, quite in the tones of the preview given on the street. In addition to the quality of its dishes and an excellent welcome, the Cross Eyed regularly organizes live music evenings with local bands or karaoke evenings. Good meal and good mood guaranteed.
BRIGHT ANGEL RESTAURANT
Read moreThe Bright Angel Restaurant offers a classic, correct restaurant.
BUFFET AT BELLAGIO
Read moreOne of the best buffets in town, at a reasonable price considering the quality of the dishes offered. Fine pizzas, sushi, salads, grilled meats, steamed bites... All nationalities are represented with Japan, China, the United States and Italy in the spotlight. The brunch dishes are also worth the detour, especially the omelets that are prepared to order. The dessert station is one of the highlights of this place, with a wide assortment of cookies, pastries and ice cream.
CHIPOTLE – MEXICAN GRILL
Read moreAt Chipotle, we don't quibble over the quantities of rice, meat or hot sauce when preparing tacos or burritos, nor over guacamole and Mexican chips. Rations are prepared to order with the ingredients you choose. Although the atmosphere remains that of a fast-food restaurant, a special effort has been made to the design of the place and the background music played.
GRAND LUX CAFE
Read moreWalk on Michigan Avenue, this is the only way to locate this restaurant, perched above the shops. The entrance is done by Ontario Street. Take the escalator leading you to a superb dining room, with a Las Vegas style - at the edge of the kitsch. Under the dome, fleece benches await guests, guided by a white and white staff. In this more than rich decor, you can eat dishes of little sophisticated but carefully prepared dishes. Burgers, salads, big classics are on the menu. Don't be surprised by gargantuan portions, better be two per dish… After this feast, take a moment to leave your eyes drifting through the immense windows that illuminate the room.
Mauro Cafe
Read moreThis is probably one of the best addresses on Melrose, where both the menu and the atmosphere lend themselves equally well to brunch, coffee or lunch. Slightly off the street, access to the restaurant is via the adjacent parking lot. Once inside, the smiling, friendly welcome makes you want to settle in, while the décor and ambience invite you to make yourself comfortable, both on the large terrace and in the whitewashed wooden interior. From typical Italian dishes to freshly baked pastries, everything is good.
LE CIRQUE
Read moreWhile visiting the United States, Pope John Paul II asked for a table at the New York Circus for that evening. The charismatic founder Sirio Maccioni replied: " Okay, but on the day I die, I want a table in heaven . Le Cirque de Las Vegas does indeed cultivate a little air of paradise. One goes there for its fine cuisine, but also for its setting. The sommeliers Frédéric Montandon and Sanae Halprin will guide you with talent through the wine list, which includes more than 900 selections of wines. Proper attire is required!
PAPASPIROS
Read morePapaspiros is a meeting place, it is a whole atmosphere that welcomes us. On the terrace, the regulars, who with a small glass smoke their cigarette (which is unusual in the United States), welcome you. One can easily imagine the same scene at the edge of a Greek port... For lack of a postcard, the flavors are there: lemony cuisine, fresh salads, grilled kefta and pieces of lamb, between two anecdotes and jokes of the owner. It's also an opportunity to discover good Greek wines for cheap, the bottle being 30 US$.
POOR PHIL'S BAR AND GRILL
Read moreLocated below a hotel, this good neighborhood bar is a bit of a UFO. Inside, it's 100% pub, with hunters' artefacts and scarves and other fabrics bearing the effigy of various teams. You'll appreciate the airy terrace, the conviviality and the service. The menu is very confusing - too offbeat in its originality. Otherwise, almost everything is fried, even the sandwiches, and many dishes are seafood dishes: the influence of New Orleans cuisine.
TACOS '76
Read moreWith its disco-era logo and fake fast-food look, you could be fooled. But no, Tacos '76 offers very authentic Mexican cuisine, despite the absence of the colorful, flashy frills usually found in this type of restaurant. Tacos with golden tortillas, finely chopped onions and cilantro can be accompanied by a cold draught or a thirst-quenching agua de Jamaica. A terrace away from the main street is available, all to the sound of an eclectic playlist.
CEDAR PALACE
Read moreThis fairly new establishment offers pretty much everything you'd expect from a Lebanese restaurant, except that this restaurant is, as its name doesn't suggest, Syrian! Opened in 2018, this place with an oriental feel offers falafel, reasonably priced meat dishes or sandwiches, fresh salads or soups, with drinks at US$2. Portions are a little lighter at lunchtime, due to the reduced - not to say rushed - American lunchtime. A small shaded patio is also available in summer.
GORDO'S TINY TACO BAR
Read moreNorth of Maggie Daley Park, cut yourself off from the city while in the Loop. Below the buildings, sip your cold michelada while watching the dogs play in the adjoining Lakeshore East Park. The "Tiny Fat Taco Bar" offers all kinds of tasty Mexican specialties. Among other promotions, a taco night for US$3. Quesabirrias, burritos, succulent meats, the range of choices is wide. All week long, from 11am to 2:30pm, there is even a brunch. A charming address that stands out.
NEW WAVE COFFEE
Read moreA haven for hipsters, who have been flocking to the area in increasing numbers in recent years. They come here to drink coffee, chat or work while listening to good music. We love the retro diner atmosphere, with its skai stools, multicolored checkerboard tiles and mismatched furniture. The sandwiches are pretty good, and the cakes, from muffins to croissants and chocolate cakes, will leave you wanting more.
SAWADA COFFEE
Read moreHere, coffee is an art, and the baristas take it very seriously! Whether you prefer cappuccino, mocha, cortado or matcha latte, you won't be disappointed. The hot drinks, always embellished with a milk foam design, are not just aesthetically pleasing: they're delicious. Enthusiasts will be delighted. And the more adventurous will be tempted by the " boozy steamers ", made with sake, bourbon or, even more original, Bénédictine, a French digestif made from plants.
FOXTROT MARKET
Read moreIt's a very cool sign behind which lies a local start-up that's looking to reinvent the way Chicagoans do their shopping. Because in addition to being a cozy café where you can eat great salads while sipping a frothy cappuccino, Foxtrot is also a convenience store selling quality products. If you're in the mood for a little shopping, you'll find delicatessen products (charcuterie, cheese, salmon, etc.) and ready-to-eat meals.
HAVANA GRILL
Read moreOn this busy pedestrian street with its many restaurants, Havana Grill doesn't fall on deaf ears. Because before it tickles your taste buds, it's the Latino music that gets it noticed. Start by savouring the cocktails, while ordering something to nibble on: ceviche, for example, accompanied by banana chips. Then you'll be tempted by the meat, and what a meat it is! Tender, tasty and served with a few plantains (the famous platanos machos). You'll also find rum, pisco...
The Edmon
Read moreWe've fallen in love with this magnificent establishment adjoining the Hollywood Historic Hotel, in the Melrose Hill district. Superb wood and marble bar, red brick walls, hushed atmosphere... The decor is simply stunning. If you can, come between 4pm and 7pm: you'll be able to enjoyHappy Hour, both on a selection of drinks and plates to share. We particularly recommend the charcuterie and cheese board, the house burger and the Mac and Cheese. If you want to enjoy the view, take a seat at the counter.
Sunnin Lebanese Cafe
Read moreSouth of Wilshire Avenue, Westwood Boulevard is a long succession of oriental restaurants and stores. Let the aroma of falafels guide you to Sunnin Leban Cafe. Among the specialties, we particularly recommend the moujadarah - a lentil puree prepared with rice and caramelized onions - and the houmous kawarma - with beef fillet. While prices may seem rather affordable, fans of Lebanese gastronomy will quickly run up the bill, curious to try several preparations.
CAPO'S RESTAURANT AND SPEAKEASY
Read moreWelcome to this typical Mafia restaurant. A scene from the film Casino was even filmed here, and actor Joe Pesci has his plaque here! The atmosphere is very cosy, with alcoves where you can relax with friends. The waiters, with their slicked-back hairstyles and delightful manners, are just perfect. And the menu is just right, from the calamari with sponge cake to the house specialty, an exceptional osso bucco that melts on the tongue... What an experience!
PROPER EATS FOOD HALL
Read moreThe Aria casino has just opened a food hall, that famous restaurant concept which is causing a stir everywhere by bringing together independent brands offering very different cuisines in the same space. At the Proper Eats Food Hall, you'll find a New York sandwich stand (Egghead), Korean-style fried chicken (Seoul Bird), luxury shawarma (Soulbelly BBQ), vegetarian pizzas (Pizzacki), ramen or grilled pork (Laughing Buddha)... Not to mention some excellent beers and cocktails to match the different dishes. Enjoy!
¡VIVA!
Read moreCreated in collaboration with Esquire magazine's "Chef of the Year", ¡VIVA! is a restaurant that celebrates chef Ray Garcia's vision of Latin cuisine. A collection of cultural products such as handmade corn tortillas and other freshly prepared ceviches, guacamoles and salsas. The menu highlights the bright, bold flavors synonymous with Mexican cuisine, with an emphasis on regional dishes and seasonal ingredients designed as small plates, appetizers and entrees to share.
THE BEDFORD BY MARTHA STEWART
Read moreKnown for her shows on American television, Martha Stewart has set up shop in Paris in an upscale restaurant with decor inspired by the celebrity's farmhouse, featuring a subtle, neutral color palette and simple furnishings. In the kitchen, Martha Stewart and her team offer a menu of tasty dishes based on fresh local ingredients, combining the star's favorite recipes with French inspiration.
BOTTIGLIA CUCINA & ENOTECA
Read moreThis Italian - or more precisely, Tuscan - restaurant is just the thing for a special occasion. Comfortably seated in this half-baroque, half-design décor organized around an open kitchen, unless you prefer the private lounge or patio, you'll have to make some Cornelian choices in front of its beautiful menu. We particularly recommend the mushroom and truffle fettuccine, the lobster pasta and the excellent tiramisu... Bon appétit!
Brera Osteria
Read moreYou will be amazed! The Brera Osteria is a miniature replica of Saint Mark's Square in Venice. The key elements of the place are there: the lions in - fake - white marble, the Renaissance windows, the cantatrices, the Bridge of Sighs, the ceiling painted as a cloudy sky, and even the canal where the gondolas pass. On the food side, we like the fritto misto - fried squid, mussels and mushrooms - the tortelli - pasta stuffed with braised veal and mushrooms - and the panna cotta for dessert, revisited with pineapple. Delicious!
BG BISTRO
Read moreWelcome to the only Bulgarian restaurant in the American West. BG Bistro features a casual restaurant area and a trendy lounge bar. On the menu, dishes with multiple influences, with many salads - including Italian and Greek - delicious appetizers to share, such as grilled octopus, pizzas, or even grilled meats. It is also an opportunity to taste Bulgarian specialties such as Panagyurski eggs. All served in generous portions and at low prices.
CLEAVER
Read moreAway from the Strip, in East Vegas, you'll find this small and confidential address. Filet mignon, pork chops, chicken ballotins, sea bass, squid ink pasta served with bacon, fish roe and parmesan cheese... In a subdued atmosphere where the waiters are dressed as in the prohibition era, you can enjoy American-style grilled meats and seafood dishes. Nevertheless, the Cleaver also lends itself to excellent cocktails in the early evening, before leaving to conquer the city's casinos.
