The food and service was excellent. Not overly expensive. It is located off the casino floor near the Eiffel Tower. You will need to make a reservation if you want to dine here.

Best View
This French brasserie in the Paris Hotel has one of the most amazing views in all of Vegas. Sit on the outdoor patio, and enjoy a perfect view of the Bellagio hotel’s iconic dancing water fountain. Enjoy a glass of wine from the rolling cart servers and see and taste exactly what you want.

Some places are immune to pull. While trying to score a table for seven on the outdoor sidewalk patio, my friend at Harrah’s (owner of Paris, where the Las Vegas version of Mon Ami Gabi is housed) discovered that their independent ownership meant that they handed out no favors. No reservations on the patio, period. Oh well; she said, it fits with the Parisian experience they try to create, which fits all the way down to the snooty wait staff. With no cuts in line, we were told to prepare for a 90-minute wait; in the end, it was only 45. Not too bad.

The restaurant is in the very front of Paris, with a fair-sized, slightly elevated patio along the sidewalk. By the time we were seated near 8 pm, the 115° heat of the day had cooled enough for outside seating to be comfortable (desert aridity has its advantages). Located across the street from Bellagio, that hotel’s famous fountains erupted every 15 minutes after 8 pm, giving those of us on the patio or inside the front windows a terrific addition to a great meal.

The wait staff were efficient and courteous; not chatty, but not snooty. Just as well—I still have emotional scars from encounters with true Parisian waiters. Dinner began with baguettes, each delivered in a paper sleeve. A fan of great bread, I could have eaten just the baguettes (well, after slathering them with butter). I ordered roast chicken with lemon and pommes frites, which was delicious: succulent, juicy, and very flavorful. By the time the entrees were finished, we weren’t done catching up with each other’s lives. So my friend led my daughters into quickly ordering four desserts to pass around, including a very traditional and delicious chocolate mousse.

Despite my desire not to be impressed, I ended up really enjoying this restaurant. The food was terrific and the setting was great. Given the location, I thought the prices weren’t too bad—the roast chicken entrees were $18-$19; most beef items were in the low $20’s. If faux Parisien appeals to you while in Vegas, you’ll have a nice evening. If you’re counting on sitting outside or near the windows, you may have a wait. But this place is deceptively large, so getting seated elsewhere shouldn’t take too long.

Advice
They take reservations for indoor seating, but not for the patio. If that’s what you’d like (and it’s a great spot), be sure to leave your name with the host, whose station is just outside the entrance, inside Paris Las Vegas.

This is a FABULOUS restaurant! The beautiful atmosphere makes you forget that you are not in a Parisian Steakhouse. We had late-night dining reservations made a few hours earlier that evening to secure a coveted spot on the patio along the Strip - the BEST dining location in all of Vegas.

While enjoying specialty cocktails and extensive wine selections, you can watch the Vegas nightlife stroll by. In the evenings, the Bellagio dancing waters entertain you with different songs every half-hour. It is so spectacular that fellow diners applaud some performances.

By far, this is a dining experience that cannot be missed, and it is better than any show in Vegas. The food is excellent, with very large portions. The steak with a blue cheese sauce was fabulous and accompanied by fries that overflowed the plate. Everyone in our party of eight enjoyed their entrées. My only regret is that the meals were too filling and we had no room for dessert. From my experience, service in Vegas is slow and unimpressive, but at this restaurant, slow service is accepted because you want to enjoy the ambience and don't mind the extra time here. I'll return every time I visit Vegas.

We decided to go here because it is right across the street from the Bellagio Fountains. As usual in Vegas, we had a 30-minute wait. Unfortunately, it was so windy that the fountains weren't running. The main restaurant is dark, but we were able to sit in the bar/patio area, which is all windows. I recommend this over the dark main room. The waiter was the usual stuck-up French guy. The food was really good though, especially the fresh bread they start you out with. Ours was warm when it came out. Try the shredded carrot spread for the bread (I know it sounds weird, but it is really good).
