Which Casinos Have The Best Food - 1

For many years now, dedicated gamblers and casually punters alike have known that the casino experience is about much more than just having a place to play your favourite table games or slots. From Las Vegas megaliths to quaint European establishments, the list of the world’s casinos is as long as it is varied.

Whilst the world’s finest casinos may look and feel very different from each other, one thing that unites them all is the importance that they place on providing great food. Certainly, the finest casinos of all will ensure that their food and drink offerings are as good if not better than their table games and slots. Whether satisfyingly salty finger food that goes perfectly with a cold beer or sophisticated hors d’oeuvres, the world’s finest casinos tend to offer some truly excellent refreshments, too.

In this article, we will take a look at exactly which casinos have the best food and why this can be said. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at our selection…

The Bellagio Casino, Las Vegas Renowned across the globe for its affinity with luxury, the Bellagio is a household name at this point. Whilst famed for hosting weddings and sporting events, this huge casino is also home to some of the world’s very best casino food. Perhaps the crown jewel of the Bellagio’s gastronomic offerings, the Picasso restaurant is filled with original paintings by the Spanish master and boasts stunning cuisine informed by both his Iberian roots and his adopted home of France. From delicately finished seafood to robustly seared meats, the food at this restaurant is, much like the artist himself, a perfect balance of rough and refined.

Nearby, the Michael Mina seafood restaurant serves up delicacies fresh from the ocean including oysters, lobster and the house favourite of fresh scallops.

Monte Carlo Resort, Monaco The first thing to know about the Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse restaurant, the crown jewel of the sprawling Monte Carlo Resort complex, is that the wine cellar here boasts more than 400,000 bottles to choose from. This fact, perhaps more than any other, best illustrates the sheer scale of the quality and variety on offer here. Headed by legendary celebrity chef Alain Ducasse, this restaurant serves local and seasonal cuisine with a heavy affinity for the Mediterranean. Seafood and fresh vegetables are given the haute cuisine treatment here to stunning results, whilst the fact that five casinos sit just a stone’s throw away make the experience that little bit more delicious.

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Not only is this stunning hotel and casino home to restaurants from household names like Daniel Bouloud and Mario Batali, yet this luxurious Singapore complex has the trump card of hosting a 10-course taster menu from cult chef Tetsuya Wakuda. For gamblers who also love to eat, this might just be the ultimate experience that combines these two most fulfilling pursuits.

So, now that you know which casinos serve the finest food on earth, you can get a 200% casino bonus and get started playing online today!

Add in the garam masala powder. Usually for Prawn Biryani, whole spices are added.

Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer for about 10 minutes on a medium flame till the tomatoes are cooked and mushy. Note: Instead of garam masala, you can also use biryani masala powder for making this prawn biryani.
