MON AMI GABI Lunch
With a ground level view of the best tourist parade this town has to offer, Mon Ami Gabi also brings forth superior bistro fare practically 24/7.
With dishes like house-smoked salmon.
And trout Grenobloise (with lemon, capers and parsley).
And Otter Creek (WA) oysters that tasted like big, creamy kumamotos — some of the best bivalves we’ve had lately.
And addictive profiteroles.
And a wine list that won’t leave you gasping for air.
Restaurant reviews, quips, picks and pans-with some seriously salivating history-from the man who eats his way through Sin City every day.

Yes indeed ELV, Mon Ami Gabi has got it goin’ on. From simple Steak Frites to Trout Almandine and a wine list that highlights the best of france without gouging your wallet, MAG rocks. Keep your celebrity chefs, Ill take lunch/dinner there anytime.

agreed again!
I have had many a lunch’s at Mon Ami Gabi, and the food is usually great. but i hated when they changed the seafood crepe. used to have a nice filling of bechamel and seafood, now its a few seared scallops and shrimp, but not much inside. but you cant beat it for the price/location. the one inconsistent thing there in my experiences is the service, hit or miss

YUMMY! And yes, Mon Ami Gabi is a local treasure. I just don’t get why so many locals avoid The Strip like the plague, and end up missing such amazing places serving up jaw-dropping views and delicious food. Since I’ve taken my dad with me here for dinner once, hopefully I can convince him to try brunch with me here when he comes back with me after Thanksgiving.

Going to be back in Las Vegas in a few weeks. Staying at Paris cuz Harrah’s thought I deserved a free room there for a few nights. If the weather is nice enough, an outdoor lunch at Mon Ami Gabi sounds tempting. Had a rally nice breakfast there in July.

I’ve only eaten here once and was less than blown away by anything I ate, the service, etc. Maybe it’s because the place was busy and I couldn’t get a good seat outside with a view. I do remember the french onion soup being ok – but everything else I ate was very forgetful. I seem to be very much in the minority here so it’s probably time for a second look. Though…with Marche Bacchus only 10 minutes from my house…it’s hard to imagine going to the Strip to eat French bistro food.
