Where to Eat at Bellagio Las Vegas – The Best Restaurants at Bellagio Las Vegas (2023)

The Bellagio has an incredible selection of restaurants. Many of these are fine-dining restaurants run by a variety of award-winning chefs and border the stunning Bellagio lagoon, offering some of the most wonderful dining in the entire city. With so many options, it can be difficult to know which are the best restaurants in Bellagio Las Vegas, and choosing where to eat in Bellagio Las Vegas can be a difficult decision.

Our Bellagio Las Vegas Where to Eat guide will show you the best restaurants in the hotel. From the highest rated Michelin star lakeside restaurant to the humblest breakfast and coffee shop.

The dining options are of high quality and even the budget options are quite expensive. So while we take a good look at the best the hotel has to offer, let's take a look at the less expensive options and search the immediate area to help you find some much cheaper reviews if you're looking for a less expensive option. Some of the best restaurants in the hotel are worth a visit, but not for every meal!

We start with the most expensive and bring you the cheapest options at the end. We don't actually rate restaurants, as individual desires and circumstances mean that different options are simply more appropriate than others. Instead, we've only provided an honest description of each output, so you can always decide if it's the right choice for you.

picasso

Picasso is one of the fewMichelin starred restaurantsin the city. With two stars since the inspectors last visit to Las Vegas (2009) and winner of almost all awards, Picasso is considered one of the best restaurants in the entire city.

Julian Serano is a Spanish chef trained in the classic French style who now lives and works in the United States. He owns and operates three restaurants in Las Vegas and is known for his contemporary French cuisine with Spanish and contemporary touches. This means that he offers recognizable dishes in an innovative and unique style. Expect quality ingredients cooked to perfection in a way you've never experienced before.

The Lagoon Terrace restaurant is one of the best in town, the artwork on the walls is REAL by Pablo Picasso (although many sold for $109 million in 2019, so the collection is now small!)

THE TASTING MENU is very reasonable for Vegas at around $142 with $93 wine pairings ($168 - Premium). Prie-Fixe is also very inexpensive at $132 with additional additions for upgrades. Yes, we just said $142 cheap, but for a 2 star restaurant in Las Vegas, that's practically FREE!

While the restaurant is still resting on its two-star laurels, we really doubt it will reach that mark if Michilins inspectors return. Food has come a long way since 2009 and Picasso really hasn't innovated much. While a restaurant doesn't need to do much if it gets the basics right, we think Picasso would lose at least one of its stars. It still earns the AAA 5-Diamond award (one of 4 restaurants in Las Vegas), so it hasn't gone down much, just don't count it by modern 2-star standards.

Specialties of the house -

Sautéed foie gras fillet "A"– It may be a bit controversial, but this good foie gras is irresistible.

Fried Maine Lobster– A deconstructed lobster served with Flying Fish Caviar!

U-10 day fried scallops- These are some of the largest scallops available, delivered from boat to restaurant in less than a day, making these giant scallops truly delicious!

The circus

Le Cirque only got one star in 2008/09 and that was hard for many to understand. This sophisticated French restaurant was the flagship of the legendary Duel of the New York Eatery. After the closure of the New York store, the Las Vegas edition is now the flagship restaurant, offering a truly special dining experience.

But with the 8-course tasting menu costing $388 + $168 for wine pairing, it really should be!

The restaurant's classic French style and phenomenal presentation make dining here a real pleasure. Every dish is perfectly presented and amazing. Restaurants like Le Cirque and Picasso are rare indeed, and finding two French restaurants of this caliber in the same location, practically next to each other, is a truly impressive dining option.

Specialties of the house -

Hawaiianisches Kampachi –Stunning presentation of Hawaiian Kampachi (Yellowtail) cures served with edible sides, pretty as a picture and delicious to boot.

Truffle Risotto –We LOVE truffles and the Truffled Rissoto doesn't try to ration quantities, the small portion of the Rissoto has almost more truffles than rice!

chocolate ball -Le Cirque's signature chocolate ball dessert is full of theatrics. A little pot these days, the chocolate broth melts when hot sauce is poured over its shell.

miguel mine

Michael's Las Vegas Restaurant is named after the chef and is the sister restaurant to the other eponymous restaurant in San Francisco. Which also has a Michelin star.

The restaurant favors quality fresh seafood and has a fantastic raw bar offering oysters, shrimp, sea urchins, clams and lobster. Along with a very special selection of caviar ($700+).

The main menu features incredible seasonal seafood dishes and excellent table service. One of the best seafood restaurants in town and well worth a visit. It's a little cheaper than some of the other high-end restaurants on offer.

The downside of this place is the lack of a fountain view. The dining room is on the ground floor near the conservatory with little view. However, this is more than made up for by the food.

Specialties of the house -

Grilled tuna tartare– Translucent and luminous like Turkish Delight!

michaels lobster pie– Lobster deconstructed in puff pastry

grilled portuguese octopus

PRIME-Steakhouse

We love a good steakhouse and Las Vegas is full of amazing options, and every hotel seems to have its own Casa de la Vaca. Bellagio's offering is PRIME Steakhouse. And although it's good, it doesn't really existat our best steakhouses in Las VegasList!

That's not because it's bad, it's because we just don't think it has any really unique selling points. It has great steaks and fantastic fresh seafood next to the fountains, and despite the odd reports of poor service, it really is an impeccable restaurant.

But so are many Las Vegas steakhouses, and we think the competition can offer something more unique and exciting. But if you're staying at the Bellagio and want a steak without leaving the hotel, Prime won't disappoint!

However, it's on the pricier end of Las Vegas Steak Jints and there's no real reason for it other than you're at the Bellagio!

Specialties of the house -

DRY BONE AGED IN COLETÓN18 ounces

PORTER HOUSE FOR36 ounces

BIG PLATE OF SEAFOOD– Maine lobster, jumbo shrimp, oysters, clams and mussels

Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant and Lounge.

From here we start going to the cheaper restaurants that are located along the Bellagio lagoon. They are listed as $$$, not $$$$, but still require a significant expense to dine there. We'll start with the Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant & Lounge, which offers high-quality sushi and Japanese cuisine.

The creator is Michelin-starred chef Akira Back, former chef of sushi chain Kenichi. His own restaurant, Dosa, in Seoul, South Korea, has a Michelin star. tran under the legendaryMasaharu Morimoto(Iron Chef and former Nobu Chef). Yellowtail offers upscale sushi in a fresh, contemporary style.

The menu looks very familiar and has a 'Nobu' feel but with some separate and contemporary ideas. In terms of price, it's possible to dine here for under $100 per person, including drinks, if you order carefully and focus on the cheapest ingredients, it's also possible to splurge on Toro, lobster and Kobe beef. The OMAKASE menu consists of seven dishes and costs $149 per person with a side of sake for $60.

Specialties of the house -

Sushi-Pizza –Their star dish but we found it a bit disappointing. Thin and crispy base sashimi

mile high roller– Crab tempura, avocado, asparagus topped with mixed sashimi,
Ponzu was going to be Picante

rock shrimp- Nothing like Nobus Spicy Rock Shimp... seriously!

line

Wolfgang Puck is now a celebrity chef and owns a variety of chain restaurants around the world, all proudly carrying the Wolfgang Puck name. But it all started in a small Los Angeles restaurant called Spago. This is where he made his name and earned his first two Michelin stars (now revoked) and those are Wolfgang's REAL restaurants while the others are just financial companies.

Spago was one of the first big-name restaurants to open a Las Vegas location, and it launched the Las Vegas dining scene in a big way. Now, every famous chef worth his salt has a second location in Sin City, which is why Las Vegas is so exciting, you really can dine at the best restaurants in the world and taste the best chefs, all in the same city.

Until 2017, Spago was in the Forum Shops, but now it stands proudly on the shores of the Bellagio lagoon. With ultra-sophisticated Italian dishes mixed with fresh California produce, he offers a menu sure to cater for all tastes. You can even have a hamburger here (brunch)

BREAKFAST- We love Spago Brunch, with bottomless mimosas, fantastic brunch cocktails and a more sober menu, it's a great place to recharge your batteries right next to the Fountains!

LAGO– by Julian Serrano

Julián Serrano's Picasso is one of the top restaurants in the Bellagio neighborhood and is widely considered one of the best in the city. But it's incredibly expensive, and that's where Lake comes into play. This is a more affordable restaurant run by the highly decorated Spanish chef.

The concept here is small plates, similar to tapas but Italian style. This works brilliantly in the lakeside Italian setting, offering a varied dining experience where you can share a selection of smaller plates or enjoy several smaller dishes.

The dining room and lakeside terrace are among the best in the hotel and the views are incredibly breathtaking. This was truly one of the most beautiful settings we've ever experienced and the food is truly amazing.

The downside is that this budget option is still outside what most people consider budget, but it's a great stop for a light lunch by the lagoon.

The Mayfair Supper Club

The Mayfair Supper Club is actually a rather strange concept. It is based on the old cabaret nightclubs of New York, London and Las Vegas. It's a really interesting food concept and has all the glitz, glamor and entertainment of yesteryear.

Much more than great food awaits you here, with live entertainment, crowds, sophisticated cocktails and a party that lasts late into the night. It's not the most gastronomic of the available restaurants, but it offers much more than food!

harvest

Harvest is a fairly recent addition to the Bellagio lineup. Its aim is to offer a more sustainable dining experience, using large amounts of ethically and locally sourced ingredients. While we find it highly admirable, when we're in the middle of a dessert, we can't help but wonder where they get their locally sourced ingredients from. But we suspect they just mean as local as possible!

The end result is a restaurant that offers menus that are much healthier and more homey than other high-end restaurants. Fried chicken, wild salmon and harvest flatbread, it's all very different and after a few days and nights of the Vegas high life it can be really nice to get some healthier food and maybe even some VEG.

It's a concept that we know many will like and some won't. But it's good to know that there are some healthier options if cravings get the better of me.

Jasmine

Jasmine is the Bellagio's upscale Chinese restaurant. Basically, when it comes to local Chinese food, Jasmine couldn't be further away! While many of the menu items look familiar, they are not.

Sophisticated ingredients, precise cooking and impressive presentation make it feel more like a luxurious imperial feast than a local Chinese restaurant. It's not the same as Wing Lei in the Wynn, but it's not sloppy either.

A truly excellent restaurant that can be enjoyed at very reasonable prices compared to the more expensive restaurants in Bellagio, while retaining the view of the lake!

Cheap food not Bellagio

This is where it gets tricky, the Bellagio has really limited options for cheaper food. The following restaurants are listed as $ price ranges, but some of them are quite expensive options. Getting food at the Bellagio is an expensive affair. However, we do have some tips for cheap restaurants nearby.

Bellagio-Buffet

While the Bellagio sees the buffet as a cheaper option at $42-$65 per person, we struggle to really see this as a budget option, it's a good value for the sheer amount of amazing food, but it's not cheap. We think that if you eat enough you might not need to eat again all day, so it's economical in that sense, but it's hard to accept a meal that costs more than $50 per person as budget.

This buffet is included in MyVegas rewards and BOGOF is great value for money, but at full price, while definitely worth it, it's not a cheap option.

The lineup is pretty amazing though, with endless options to choose from. Hot and cold seafood including crab legs, roasted meats like prime rib, lamb and turkey. Breakfast and brunch items and an impressive selection of desserts. It's one of the best buffets on the Strip and a must for anyone staying at the Bellagio.

massa

Pasta is an easy and very tasty option for a quick meal that costs nothing. You're still looking at $20-30 for an entree, but it's still one of the cheaper options here.

The food is very good with a variety of noodle based dishes such as beef PHO, noodle soups and fried rice dishes. Really vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients.

Cafe Sadelles

Sadelle's is a classic American-style menu reinvented in Bellagio style. One of the hotel's best options for breakfast and lunch and offers great views of the Bellagio Conservatory.

Pool-Café

The Pool Cafe is really just an option for those who use the pool deck and don't want to leave. That sounds pretty specific, but on busy days, that equates to thousands of people.

The menu is pretty good for an MGM pool bar, offering a little more than the usual burgers, chicken, and nachos, although those are here too. Drink prices are incredible, and even some drinks cost a $50 bill!

The best thing about the Pool Cafe is the fact that you don't have to leave your sunbed and the excellent pool hosts are happy to bring everything you need right to your sunbed.

Bellagio Pastry

Bellagio Patisserie is a great place for coffee and a simple breakfast like a cake or sandwich. The product is not cheap, but it is fresh and much better than most bakeries in the city. Seating is minimal, but takeout is available.

juicer

It's a juice bar, not much to say, but a nice fresh smoothie or juice blend could be just what you need to re-energize after a hard night on the street.

starbucks

Again, it's a Starbucks. Probably the cheapest hotel option and often our first choice. It's cheap and fast so we can get in and out of town.

Dinner near the Bellagio

The good news is that you are in the heart of Las Vegas, with a plethora of cheaper restaurants just around the corner!

Cheesecake Factory – Forum Shops

Our goal is good American food at reasonable prices. The Cheesecake Factory is hard to beat. There are also several cheaper options in the area.Forum Shops e Caesars Palace.

Ocean One Bar und Grill – Miricle Mile Shops

One of our favorite stops on the Strip. 3 for $10 cocktails and lots of options for really cheap bar snacks, you can get a great meal and a good night in the same place.Miricle Mile StoresIt's usually a great place to grab a cheap meal and it's right across from the Bellagio.

Taco Bell – Planeta Holywood

Planeta Hollywoodthere are good restaurants and many are very cheap. The highlight for us is Taco Bell... yes, we know, but this is the company's flagship store and offers certain things you don't find at other Taco Bells, like alcohol!

Tiendas Grand Bizzare - Bally's

At Bally's, Grand Bizzare stores have a variety of cheap and cheerful street food options including hamburgers, hot dogs, etc.

Linq Walk – Die Linq

Finally, Linq Promenade offers a variety of reasonably priced restaurants. And the Irish Pub, the Mexican restaurant and, of course, the In-N-Out Burger.
