The Top 10 Restaurants in Las Vegas, 2026

Joël Robuchon takes the top spot — and not by a small margin. Three Michelin stars, AAA Five Diamond, Forbes Five-Star, Wine Spectator Grand Award. The 18-course menu degustation ($495) is widely considered the best meal in North America, and the case is hard to argue against. De Lellis has held the kitchen at three-star form for over twenty years now, and the famous Robuchon pommes purée remains the single most discussed potato dish in fine dining. Salon Bordeaux private room for any conversation of consequence. The most uncompromising luxury experience in American dining.

Guy Savoy at #2 is a room that any serious diner could credibly argue belongs at #1. The 2026 La Liste global guide ranked it the highest-scoring Las Vegas restaurant. Chef Mathieu Chartron runs the Caesars outpost as a true sister to the three-star original in Paris, and the artichoke and black truffle soup — served with a brioche feuilletée — remains one of the great dishes of our time. The Krug Room (private, 25 seats) is the best private dining room on the Strip.

Picasso ranks #3 because the room itself is one of the great fine-dining ambiences in the world — actual Picasso paintings (the Bellagio collection) hang above your banquette, and the patio overlooks the fountains. Chef Julian Serrano's French-Mediterranean tasting menu ($175 for four courses, $195 for five) has held form for over twenty years. The wine cellar runs 1,800 selections. Book the patio for a fountains show across an aperitif; book the inside dining room when the heat matters less.

Carbone Riviera at #4 is the most talked-about new restaurant in Las Vegas in years. MFG took the seafood-forward sister concept to the original Carbone and built it around a fountain-view deck flanked by Riva yachts that is, full stop, the most photogenic restaurant space on the Strip. The food has caught up to the room — the spicy rigatoni vodka (yes, still served) shares the menu with serious crudo and a whole turbot for two ($210). Book the deck six weeks out.

Bazaar Meat ranks #5 because no other American steakhouse approaches it for sheer ambition. The single-bite ossetra cones are still the city's best opening course; the vaca vieja ribeye (deep mahogany, golden marbled fat from mature Spanish cows) is the order; the chicken-bechamel croquetas are an institution. The room is genuinely theatrical — the open kitchen, the open carving table, the open meat case — and after the move from SLS to the Venetian/Palazzo, the operation runs better than ever. The most fun fine-dining room on the Strip.

Estiatorio Milos at #6 makes the case for clean, ingredient-driven simplicity in a city that often forgets the option exists. The seafood display (Mediterranean species flown in twice daily) is the menu — pick the fish, choose the preparation (whole-grilled, baked in sea salt, crudo), pay accordingly. The lunch prix fixe ($65 for three courses) remains the Strip's single best fine-dining value. The Greek wine list is the deepest in America. Send a serious business guest here for a clean conversation.

Lotus of Siam ranks #7 by sheer cooking power. Saipin Chutima won the James Beard Best Chef Southwest award in 2011 and the kitchen has held form since. The Northern Thai menu (khao soi, nam prik ong, sai oua, jackfruit curry) is genuinely the best in America — sharper, brighter, more obviously regional than any other Thai kitchen at any price. The wine program (yes, wine — focused on Riesling and Gewurztraminer) is one of the most discussed in the country. Off-Strip, casual, and the most serious eating in Las Vegas at this price.

Carbone (the original Vegas outpost, distinct from Carbone Riviera) at #8 is the city's most consistent theatrical dining experience. The tableside Caesar, the David Bowie soundtrack, the captains in raspberry tuxedos — every detail of the production is calibrated and the kitchen runs at a level the casual observer often underestimates. The veal parmesan is the order; the spicy rigatoni vodka is the photograph. Book six weeks out; the back room is the move.

Costa di Mare ranks #9 for ambience as much as for food. The lagoon-side patio (with private lily-pad tables, candles, and a cascade behind the dining room) is the single most romantic dinner setting in Las Vegas — book it for a proposal, an anniversary, or any night that needs a story. The kitchen runs a serious coastal-Italian seafood programme; the whole fish in salt crust is the order. Wine list is one of the deepest Italian programs in America.

Sparrow + Wolf rounds out the top ten because every serious Las Vegas eater eventually points to it as the local pick. Brian Howard runs a modern American menu with deep Asian undercurrents — the wagyu dumplings with bone marrow, the rabbit tortellini, the dry-aged duck — and the kitchen is technically as serious as any Strip room at half the price. The whisky and amaro program is one of the best in the country. Sit at the chef's counter; book three weeks out for a weekend.
