RESTAURANT GUY SAVOY – THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE IN REFINED FINE DINING
Restaurant Guy Savoy is the only place in America to experience the elegant cuisine of Guy Savoy, one of France's most revered and award-winning chefs. He's received three Michelin stars, an entry in the Larousse encyclopedia, the Legion d'Honneur from the French Minister of Agriculture and was voted France's Chef of the Year by his peers.
Monsieur Savoy has brought this legacy to Caesars Palace and created one of the city's most unique and unforgettable dining experiences. It's been listed as one of the country's hottest restaurants by Bon Appetit, given a 3 ∏ (out of 4) star rating by Los Angeles Times food critic S. Irene Virbilla, called "the best restaurant in Las Vegas and one of the finest anywhere" by Newsweek and was a finalist for the James Beard Foundation's Best New Restaurant of the Year award.
