Gäbi Coffee and Bakery
This hidden gem in the Las Vegas neighborhood known as Chinatown has no sign outside. But once you find the antique wooden door, open it up to a casual café and bakery, with décor inspired by Korea in the 1920s. Gäbi Coffee and Bakery serves specialty coffee, along with delicious sandwiches and lovely desserts, such as Lychee Rose Cake and Coffee Tiramisu. It’s not just a café, but also one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas for those seeking a unique culinary experience.
The glass atrium standing in the middle of the café is where the magic happens – where the staff roasts coffee beans and desserts are baked.
You can find Gäbi Coffee and Bakery at 5808 Spring Mountain RD. STE 104, Las Vegas, NV 89146. Look for the secret door and don’t miss this sweet treat!
Mercato Della Pescheria
The Venetian also houses the famous St. Mark’s Square, which is home to Mercato Della Pescheria – an authentic Italian and seafood restaurant. Here you will find an open kitchen preparing fresh, all-natural ingredients and serving scrumptious seafood and meats, along with homemade pastas. Pair your meal with a perfect glass of wine from The Wine Cellar.
We recommend the traditional Italian favorite – Spaghetti and Meatballs. Delicious homemade spaghetti with classic pork and beef meatballs, braised in a roasted tomato sauce. It’s a flavor you won’t soon forget! And don’t pass on the Tiramisu. Prepared table side with ladyfingers, espresso, freshly whipped mascarpone, then showered with Belgian dark chocolate. Divine!
Bouchon Bakery
Las Vegas is the home to many celebrity chef-driven restaurants. One such location was started by Thomas Keller. The French inspired Bouchon Bakery opened in 2006, offering bakery delights such as croissants, muffins and coffee cakes, along with tarts, cookies and other delicious treats. Guests looking for a light meal can indulge in the fresh artisanal breads, sandwiches, soups, house made salads, and quiche.
We highly recommend Bouchon Bakery for a variety of tasty, freshly baked items. You’ll find the bakery at The Venetian on the Las Vegas Strip. It’s renowned as one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas for those seeking exquisite French-inspired baked goods and light meals.
Fries N’ Pies
Appropriately situated on Paradise Road just off the Las Vegas Strip, Fries N’ Pies stands out as one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas, offering a fresh perspective on both pizza and poutine. Fry selection for building your poutine includes French and sweet potato, as well as roasted cauliflower. Want your poutine with fries on the next level of delicious?

Thrill your taste buds with a Japanese-inspired burger in the Chinatown area of Las Vegas at one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas. Formerly only available on their food truck, Fükü Burger now has a permanent location at 3429 S. Jones Blvd. and the burgers are something out of this world! They were voted Best Burger in Las Vegas and live up to the title with appetizing creations of tastiness.
Ask for the namesake Fukuburger – also known as the “Lucky” burger. You’ll be delighted with an all-beef patty topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, finished with wasabi mayo and Fuku sauce. Complete your meal with the Jazz Fries; a yummy bed of crispy garlic salt fries with brown gravy and crack sauce. Trust us. It’s like a party in your mouth!

If you are a fan of breakfast, the Texas French Toast is the way to go. Thick cut Texas toast in a sweet egg batter, served with maple caramel sauce, walnuts and fresh whipped cream. Mouth-watering!
CUT
We can’t talk about food in Las Vegas without mentioning where to find the most delicious, juicy steak. CUT, by world-renowned chef Wolfgang Puck, is located at The Palazzo and stands as one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas. Offering only the finest selections of beef, the restaurant is loved by locals and tourists alike. If you’re steak connoisseur, your eyes will dazzle as you peruse the menu.
Start the meal off with the Kumamoto Oysters, served with a champagne mignonette that is unbelievable. Our entrée pick is the Tasting of New York Sirloin. With a 4-ounce cut of American Wagyu, a 4-ounce cut of dry aged USDA Prime sirloin, and the star of the show – a 2-ounce cut of Japanese Wagyu, it’s the perfect steak adventure. Add the Sautéed Baby Spinach and Cavatappi Pasta “Mac & Cheese.” You’ll be so glad you did!
Donut Bar
If you love donuts as much as we do, this is the place to be! The Donut Bar from Chef Santiago Campa specializes in sugary treats, of the gourmet donut variety, making it one of the best restaurants in Las Vegas for satisfying your sweet tooth. Flavors range from the famous “Homer’s Donut” to a French Toast donut to a Crème Brulee donut. Don’t want to go into pure sugar shock?
