For an inspired and original take on classic dishes, the Black Sheep offers American comfort food with Vietnamese influences. And it is beautifully crafted with locally sourced ingredients. Serving up imaginative flavour combinations such as fried beef crisps, bao sliders, and lemongrass duck confit, as well as the usual ribeye steaks and slow-braised ribs, in a contemporary setting with a welcoming ambience, the restaurant is well worth the 20-minute drive from the Strip. While it might not be a celebrity chef restaurant, this is one to visit when you need something a little different without straying too far from the strip.
Esther’s Kitchen

Arguably one of the finest Italian restaurants in town. Esther’s Kitchen is the result of chef James Tree’s long and illustrious career in food. Named after his Great Aunt Esther, the restaurant serves up homemade pasta, vegetable dishes, and pizzas from its setting among the thrift shops and galleries of the Las Vegas Arts District. Try the spaghetti Pomodoro or the rigatoni carbonara with peas and Grana Padana.
Bobby’s Burger Palace
Even when surrounded by some of the finest restaurants on the planet, there are times when only a burger will do. When that time comes, head to Bobby’s Burger Palace. One of the best places to eat in Las Vegas. Inspired by Chef Bobby Flay’s love for the grill and his travels through the States, Bobby’s Burger Palace is the quintessential American experience and is an absolute must if you are visiting Vegas. The legendary signature burgers are served up with topped fries and beautifully thick milkshakes in a warm and welcoming setting. What more could you want from a burger joint?

If it’s fresh farm-grown ingredients and home comforts you’re looking for, then it doesn’t get better than Honey Salt. One of the best off-strip restaurants in town. Honey Salt focuses on serving up local, seasonal ingredients in a warm, contemporary setting. Run by restauranteur Elizabeth Blau and Chef Kim Canteenwall. Honey Salt is a truly unique experience that aims to bring the community together through their love of food. Try out soul food classics such as Gramma Rosie’s Meatballs, Biloxi Buttermilk Chicken Sandwich, or Elizabeth’s Ceasar Salad for a comforting taste of home-inspired meals.

Food trucks are usually synonymous with unhealthy fast food, but All American Dave’s Food Truck is a different ball game. Focusing on a healthy lifestyle, the truck serves up delicious healthy food with a macronutrient balance like blackened salmon, vegan Caesar salad, and four choices of protein shakes. Every meal is designed by a fitness coach and dietary expert and contains the right amount of healthy fats, protein, and carbohydrates. And they are packed with fresh vegetables. The truck is so popular that it is always far busier than other burger stands at big events such as the World Series of Poker.
Vegenation

Though it might feel as though there are enormous steaks at every turn in Vegas, there are a few places serving up plates of vegetarian deliciousness. Take Vegenation, for example, a community-based restaurant offering delicious 100% plant-based meals. All designed to create a more positive impact on the planet. Cooking with seasonal, locally grown ingredients that support community projects and gardens. The restaurant also features popup yoga classes, art galleries, and fundraisers to create positive change. The weekend brunch menus are particularly appetizing, with tasty morsels such as buffalo cauliflower wings, vegan burritos, and stuffed French toast to enjoy all day long.
There are plenty of places to choose from when you’re hungry to eat in Las Vegas. Your only problem is going to be choosing which one to visit first!
