| - Je t'aime Mon Ami Gabi! I don't know what it is about this restaurant that makes me feel like I'm on vacation no matter what! No matter if I'm home in Chicago or visiting Vegas. For me, Mon Ami Gabi is a vacation franchise that's always a must on my list!
After getting three hours of sleep from being out all night and living up Vegas, my guest and I could not wait to throw on some fresh clothes, and head out the door looking like a pair of cute scumbags (scumbags bc we were too hungry to shower lol)! By 10am on a Saturday, the restaurant was packed! Only patio seating was available so we quickly got seated next to all of the lovely red umbrellas. As I sat down, I couldn't believe my eyes! This was my first introduction to the fountains at the Bellagio. I've eaten at authentic cafés in the real Paris, France, and though the food at Mon Ami Gabi isn't authentic French food, the ambience and view in Vegas tops any street cafe experience I've ever had in France! The Bellagio fountains are truly that spectacular.
To start we had
BAKED GOAT CHEESE
Tomato sauce, warm herb garlic bread
Entres were
WARM CHICKEN & BRI SANDWICH
Caramelized onions, green apple
CUBANO
Mojo-marinated roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, dijon mustard.
I found myself putting the baked goat cheese on every bite of my Cubano to intensify with a rich and creamy flavor! I took a bite of the chicken sandwich and thought it was just, ok. Def go for the Cubano! They also make a delicious black licorice flavored absinthe and champaign garnished with a black berry for about $15 a flute.
By the end of the meal, I was melting. Felt like nearly 100 degrees outside. It was time to part ways and take shelter from the sun! The tab for two can range from $50-$60.
Mon Ami Gabi is a Vegas Go-ers must! Don't miss out on this french motif gem!
