One of the newest places in Las Vegas is really a lot of places in one. The Plaza at Monte Carlo, an open-air promenade fronting the Strip, pulls together several of the freshest eateries around, from the rowdiness of Double Barrel Roadhouse to the devilish flair of Diablo’s Cantina. Each of those two bookends the plaza, and several other places offer a variety of delectable comestibles.
Diablo’s Cantina has actually been alfresco since it opened in 2007. Inside, the décor channels an old-time Mexican cantina while keeping the bright energy of a modern restaurant. Upstairs, a terrace overlooks the Plaza and the Strip. The modern menu was designed by The Light Group’s lauded executive chef, Brian Massie.
On the other side of the Plaza is newly opened Double Barrel Roadhouse, which features a mix of Southern-inspired dishes and fun cocktails. There’s also a great patio upstairs here to take advantage of people-watching. Yusho, with a menu crafted by chef Matthias Merges, blends Japanese street food with more upscale dishes to create a delicious and colorful dining experience.
800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria features personal customizable pizzas, while BLVD Creamery offers sweet treats and milkshakes from fresh ice cream. Locals favorite coffee shop Sambalatte’s drinks and snacks vary from traditional to innovative, perfect to relax with outside and listen to the live entertainment.
