Tucked behind the Bellagio’s stunning Conservatory, Michael Mina feels like a nice little secret. The restaurant is the perfect storm of design and cuisine, from its chic décor with floor-to-ceiling blond wood shelves to its innovative menu and equally sleek wine collection. Michael Mina, one of the few restaurants on the Strip that does a vegetarian tasting menu, is well-known for its tasting trios, which feature a singular product presented three different ways, ideal for those who want to expand their palates. Ingredients such as boneless Colorado rack of lamb, American Kobe rib-eye and Nantucket Bay scallops get Mina’s signature trio treatment. Seafood also factors in heavily on this menu, done primarily in the style of contemporary California cuisine. If you have a soft spot for foie gras, order a dish of whole foie gras which is carved tableside and proves as savory for the eyes as the taste buds.
