10 of the most Instagram-worthy dishes in Las Vegas — PHOTOS
More and more restaurants are beginning to recognize the need to serve magazine photoshoot-ready dishes everyday, for every customer — for Instagram, of course.
Because so many diners take to social media to document every meal they eat these days, some restaurants are going the extra mile to make sure their dishes end up on Instagram, Snapchat or Facebook.
So, of course, here are 10 Instagram-worthy dishes in Las Vegas:
Golden Opulence Sundae at Serendipity 3
Any sundae at Serendipity 3 is sure to spruce up your Instagram page, but at $1,000, Serendipity’s Golden Opulence Sundae really takes the cake.
When you read the list of ingredients for the over-the-top sundae — edible gold, anyone? — it’s no surprise why it holds the Guinness World Record for the world’s most expensive dessert.
Fried Chicken Poutine at Bruxie
It’s a new spot and located in T-Mobile Arena’s The Park, but Bruxie is already making a big impression on the Las Vegas food scene — and rightfully so. With dishes like Fried Chicken Poutine, we understand why.
Carib at Sweets Raku
Sweets Raku is similar to Serendipity in the sense that you’ll be hard-pressed to find a treat here that doesn’t photograph well. It was extremely hard to pick just one dish, but we ultimately opted for the Carib after one of our staff members described it as “everything you could ever want in a dessert.”
It features coconut pana cotta, melon sorbet, fruit and a cinnamon pie stick.
Wagyu at Nobu Las Vegas
With your meat being cooked by a chef right at your table, this dish also comes with a show. As you can probably imagine, pretty much all dishes at Nobu are served impressively, so you’ll likely be snapping photos of your friends’ food, too.
Lobster Fried Rice at Rice Republic
As you can tell, it’s one of the few places that doesn’t go easy on the lobster. The entire top of the dome-shaped entree is completely topped with pieces of buttery lobster.
Giant Fortune Cookie at Tao Bistro
There are many reasons why Tao Bistro ranked number two in Time Magazine’s list of Instagram’s most geo-tagged restaurants last year — the Giant Fortune Cookie dish just happens to be one of those reasons. In addition to looking pretty, this hand-crafted dish is filled with white and chocolate mousse and situated next to fresh fruit.
Chocolate Terrarium at Rose. Rabbit. Lie.
Along with caviar tacos, Rose. Rabbit. Lie. is also home to a completely edible Chocolate Terrarium dish. It’s truly one of the most unique food dishes you’ll ever come across.
Seafood Tower at Mastro’s Ocean Club
Don’t use up all your phone’s battery taking pictures of Mastro’s incredible restaurant design, because you’ll really want to get a picture of the main attraction — the Seafood Tower.
Herringbone Sundae at Herringbone Las Vegas
In addition to your appetizer and entree being completely Instagram-worthy, top off your meal with the fun Herringbone Sundae. Served in a mason jar, the sundae features both Oreo and coffee-flavored gelato, honeycomb, torched marshmallow, chantilly cream and salted caramel sauce.
Salmon Sashimi at Yellowtail Japanese Restaurant & Bar
Served on ice with lights underneath, you won’t need to turn your flash on for this one.
