Accessible Classic French: Mon Ami Gabi

During a rare weekend sans comped meals, we revisited an old favorite of ours, Mon Ami Gabi at the Paris hotel. I've loved this place for a long time for its satisfying food and reasonable prices.

Most people clamor for an outside seat right above the busy Las Vegas Boulevard sidewalk. I prefer the glass-enclosed patio for filtered sunlight and a little less din.

Weekend brunch is my favorite meal here because you may order from the breakfast, brunch, and/or lunch menu.

Mon Ami Gabi is tasty French for the everyman. I'm confident that even the pickiest people would enjoy themselves here.

  4. One of my favorites as well! I do like sitting outside when it's hot because they have the misters running. Otherwise I prefer the inside.

    I don't understand the bowl of coffee at French bistros. I came across that at Balthazar in SoHo. So awkward.

    Beautiful photos!

  6. I always eat here too! Your corned beef looks a lot better than mine did last time ... the eggs were in their own bowl of water when I had them. Weird.
