Bazaar Meat by Jose Andres

Price Range: $$$$
Cuisine: Steakhouse

James Beard Award-winning and Michelin-starred chef Jose Andres calls his amazing restaurant at Sahara Las Vegas a “meathouse” rather than a steakhouse. That seems like a good name for it, considering the vast and playful range of meats available at Bazaar Meat. Andres says his restaurant is “a celebration of the carnivorous in all its forms”. The wonderfully strange décor and design of the multiple dining areas are thanks to famous French designer Philippe Starck, and the kitchen is open, with large glass cases displaying cuts of meat so rare that they have certificates of authenticity.

When we say playful when referring to the cuisine at Bazaar Meat, it is almost an understatement. Caviar flights, whole suckling pigs, foie gras wrapped in cotton candy, and chicken croquetas served in a glass shoe are just a few examples of dishes you can order. It’s a shared plates dining experience, which makes this a great restaurant to visit with friends. And, perhaps because of the exotic and extraordinary cuisine and décor, the Las Vegas Review-Journal declared it “Best Date Night”.

Specialty Dishes

• Vittore 1950 Carpaccio: Tenderloin of beef, black pepper, Parmesan cheese, capers, croutons, Sherry dressing
• Caviar Flights: with chives, crème fraîche, egg, shallot, pomme soufflé
• Suckling pig (in quarters or whole)
