Restaurateur, Sirio Maccioni has created something truly magical. With an elegant and not overdone circus theme, Le Cirque is one of the Bellagio’s most prized possessions. The hotel takes pride in its dedication to art, romance, and attention to intricate details and Le Cirque is no exception to this rule. The five-diamond award winning restaurant serves up French Cuisine with a modern twist. Located lakeside with views of the Bellagio’s dancing fountains, Le Cirque is adorned with a colorful silk ceiling that resembles a circus tent. You may also notice the restaurants collection of eye-catching artwork. For such a well-known restaurant, you might expect a grand dining room with room for many. However, Le Cirque is small, intimate, and reservations are highly suggested.

You may want to try the brazed rabbit in Riesling with spaetzle with an order of fava beans and wild rice on the side. Another favorite is the roasted chicken in black truffle skin with roasted potatoes. For an appetizer, take a trip to France with burgundy snails served in a garlic herb butter or enjoy a foie gras sautee. Guests may also indulge in a more Americanized starter of scallops and Langoustine.  What would a French restaurant be without good duck? At Le Cirque you will never have to find out because their duck is cooked to perfection with a crisp skin and tender meat cooked with a sweet stuffing that is an interesting and taste-bud tingling surprise once you bite into it. Also try the milk-fed veal rib chop with parsley mousseline. For the seafood lover, try the lobster salad “Le Cirque” with black truffle dressing. Don’t forget about the wine! Le Cirque offers over 900 wines from all over the globe with a highlight on specific vineyards in France. Whatever your selection, after one bite, you will soon see that this restaurant isn’t clowning around.
