The décor was designed with a French art-deco townhouse in mind, and in this quiet and intimate environment you are “inspired to speak thoughtfully, take things a bit slower and savor every moment with all your senses,” says Forbes Travel Guide.
The French cuisine at Robuchon is of the finest quality, but with a concept of simplicity at its core. Chef Joel Robuchon says, “To make a grand meal, you have to make it simple. To look simple is very complicated. You need the highest quality products, the best equipment and you have to keep your focus on the original flavor of the product”. When dining at Robuchon you are able to choose from a la carte selections, a prix fixe menu or a 16-course tasting menu (that’s right, we said 16 courses!) Bon appetite!

Cuisine: Steakhouse
James Beard Award-winning and Michelin-starred chef Jose Andres calls his amazing restaurant at Sahara Las Vegas a “meathouse” rather than a steakhouse. That seems like a good name for it, considering the vast and playful range of meats available at Bazaar Meat. Andres says his restaurant is “a celebration of the carnivorous in all its forms”. The wonderfully strange décor and design of the multiple dining areas are thanks to famous French designer Philippe Starck, and the kitchen is open, with large glass cases displaying cuts of meat so rare that they have certificates of authenticity.
When we say playful when referring to the cuisine at Bazaar Meat, it is almost an understatement. Caviar flights, whole suckling pigs, foie gras wrapped in cotton candy, and chicken croquetas served in a glass shoe are just a few examples of dishes you can order. It’s a shared plates dining experience, which makes this a great restaurant to visit with friends. And, perhaps because of the exotic and extraordinary cuisine and décor, the Las Vegas Review-Journal declared it “Best Date Night”.
