Andre's Restaurant
Most of the glitzy Las Vegas hotel resorts feature French restaurants, but Andre Rochat's classic original, in a converted 1930s house several blocks from the bright downtown lights, feels more like the real thing. Extreme fine dining here includes fresh seafood, poultry and vegetarian dishes. Pick a delicious soup from the flavorsome selection or try the Filet Mignon. Andre's is known for its excellent stocks and sauces and fine pastry, which might help you in your decision-making. Reservations are essential. Dinner Monday to Saturday.
Address: 3770 Las Vegas Boulevard South

Pamplemousse
Just 500 yards from 'The Strip', Pamplemousse provides a quiet dining oasis reminiscent of a cosy French country inn, with soft orchestral music in the background to accompany the gourmet fare. There is no menu. Waiters knowledgably recite the specialties of the day, which usually include the renowned Hobo Steak, Norwegian salmon, roast duckling, veal medallions, filet mignon and spring lamb. The appetizers and desserts are just as mouth-watering including the famous trademark Basket of Crudités. Reservations are essential. Open daily for dinner. Dress smart casual (no jackets required, but appreciated).
Address: 400 East Sahara Avenue

Fish, chicken and some Italian dishes are on offer too, and a selection of interesting appetizers. Lunch and dinner Monday to Friday, dinner Saturdays and Sundays.

Address: 3900 Paradise Road

Mon Ami Gabi
Few restaurants can claim sidewalk space on the famous Las Vegas Strip, where diners can watch the passing parade. Mon Ami Gabi, emulating a Paris brasserie, does just that, with not only an outdoor section but a glass conservatory and several indoor dining rooms as well. The cuisine on offer is mainly classic French steak frites and fruits de mêr with flavorsome sauces. Lunch and dinner daily.
