Restaurant Guy Savoy in Las Vegas is one of six restaurants for Chef Savoy, but it is the only one here in the states.    Since opening in May 2006, he has earned the 5 diamond  award, Wine Spectators magazines wine award, and 2 michelin stars.

This will be my third time dinning here, but a first on a regular night.  My other two times were at the Bon Appetit Vegas Uncorked event.  Which is an amazing time and is an event that cannot be missed.  I called the GM and also Guy’s son Franck in advance, and asked if he could put together a tasting menu showing his fathers classic French cuisine.  I had only one request, which was the ‘Pintade en Vessie de Porc’ or guinea hen cooked in pig bladder.   This has been a dish I’ve been dying to try ever since I heard about it.  Franck said no problem and we’ll see you soon.

Dining Room

I’m not a fan of the decor of Guy Savoy.  It’s really sterile and stuffy.  I can never seem to get comfortable in such a huge space that always feels empty.
