Mediterranean/Moroccan in the SLS hotel and I am totally hooked. The last time I had genuine Moroccan I was in Jerusalem, and while it's not EXACTLY like the natives make it (owing more to adjustments for American tastes than to any deficiency on the chef's part), it is still absolutely exquisite. The octopus is the best I've ever had, and the lamb tagine was just beautiful. Make sure you try the sticky toffee cake and the frozen Greek yogurt desserts (if they're still on the menu) - they are must-haves, light and not at all over-sweet.

Literally my favorite restaurant in Vegas. No matter how short of a trip I'm taking through the city, I always try to make at least one visit here (sometimes multiple visits!). If you're there on a weekend, make sure you drop by for their weekend brunch - definitely worth a visit. Make sure you call ahead for a reservation. Lunches are usually okay for walk-ins, but brunches and dinners definitely see a lot more traffic. http://www.evvia.net/home/
They are almost always full during peak lunch/dinner hours. Several strategies for getting in (because it's totally worth it):

Their brunches and dinners are equally great. Reservations recommended though they have enough space that sometimes turnover will be quick enough for you to walk-in even with large parties. Be adventurous in your ordering. I am very sad that I lost the picture of their omelette special with its squash blossoms and humongous cast-iron skillet flower-like presentation. That one is worth getting every single time. |

I love to eat, and with the metabolism that I have, I eat often. Here's some of my favorite places.
(Sorry, you won't find any detailed descriptions of the scrumptiousness of the food, I'd rather be eating than writing about it. The fact that I even went through the effort of posting it to this site is basically a ringing endorsement that you should visit.) Archives
