This fabulous French bistro is located in the Paris Hotel, just under the Eiffel Tower. Two good reasons to visit Mon Ami Gabi: the food is mmmmmm-worthy, and they have a patio that faces Las Vegas Blvd., giving you a great view of the Bellagio fountain shows and a prime opportunity to people watch. (At night it takes patience to get a table on the patio, but watching the sun set and seeing the Bellagio fountains go off every 15 minutes to a different soundtrack is worth the wait.)
The menu has a good variety of hot and cold hors d’ouevres, including an absolutely wonderful chicken liver pate that left me wanting more for days afterward. Salads and soups incorporate fresh seasonal ingredients, along with house standards, such as the onion soup au gratin.
The house specialty is Steak Frites for a reasonable price ($21.95) with your choice of preparation: Roquefort, Bordelaise, Au Poivre, or Classique. The potatoes that come with the meal are far from McDonald’s French fries, and I dare you to finish the mountain that threatens to topple the plate. In addition they offer filet mignon and hangar steak, various chicken, fish, and lamb preparations.
Dessert choices are simple and classic and include the traditional cheese plate. Portions are more than generous with the chocolate mousse or crepes enough to feed two people easily.
Mon Ami Gabi also has a huge selection of wines by the glass, and the waiters are not skimpy on the serving size. Enjoy one glass with your appetizer and try another with your meal. Very French.
