Picasso at Bellagio

Dec 12, 2014,16:58 PM
 

The next night we dined at Picasso.  This is a two Michelin star restaurant also located at the Bellagio. I've only dined here once before many years ago when they first opened.  Not sure why we haven't been back since, but I'm glad we did because we had a great meal here.




The restaurant features paintings from Pablo Picasso throughout the restaurant. 








Amuse bouche of almond soup and fried basque cheese with iberico ham.




Tasting menu was excellent.  We started with the Alaskan king crab salad with a apple champagne vinaigrette




One of the best dishes of the evening, poach oysters with Osetra caviar and vermouth sauce.




Pan seared U10 day boat scallop




Sautéed foie gras 'steak' with a poached crab apple and roasted almond sauce.



Another foie gras dish, Foie gras au Torchon with wild huckleberry sauce


Roasted loin of Colorado lamb with tempura zucchini flower




Roasted pigeon with wild rice risotto.




Desserts IMO were a little weak.  Presentation was nice though.

Cirtrus bombe of tangerine and blood orange glacees




And chocolate torte with cream cheese mouse and strawberry jellie




We really enjoyed our meal here at Picasso and would definitely come back just for the oysters and roasted pigeon.  

Happy Holidays!

The chocolate ball was visually stunning and fun to watch it melt. No wines for us this time, we had to stay up and concentrate on the casino floor afterwards LOL. Regards, ED-209

Both are recommended

Thanks for reading the post. Both are highly recommended and hope you get to visit Vegas soon. Do you have any favorite restaurants in Vegas? We're always looking to try new places, anything including hole-in-the-wall eateries too. Regards, ED-209

Oh dear....we are so scary-alike...

Every city I go, I always find their nice restaurants...last time in Vegas, had steak in Carnevino's steakhouse, aged 9 months, then next day at Cut for their Wagyu steak with bone marrows... Awe...you make me want to go Vegas again. Live happy, eat while... 

Very nice
