Andre’s Restaurant & Lounge at Monte Carlo recently reopened with a new look, new offerings and a new chef de cuisine.  Considered the first Las Vegas celebrity chef, Andre Rochat has enhanced his AAA Four Diamond restaurant by combining its original old-world charm with a modern twist to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Chef Rochat said, “I am very excited about the transformation Andre’s Restaurant & Lounge has made at Monte Carlo.  There have been many culinary changes in Las Vegas, and while the clientele is always looking for a new and exciting experience, our guests also are looking for great food, superior service and a good value.  We deliver it all!”

The new layout of Andre’s, designed by Urbane Design Associates, is evident upon arrival.  Floor-to-ceiling clear glass entrance doors allow a glimpse into the visually open and expanded wine bar.  Accented with gold and blue mosaic tiles, silk-wrapped lighting, metal barstools with blue cowhide and four large glass bottle sculptures by local artist Tony Milici, the bar provides a beautiful backdrop to enjoy a menu of small plates, artisanal cheeses and charcuterie before proceeding to the dining room. 

The menu features traditional French cuisine overseen nightly by Chef Rochat, who gives his personal stamp of approval to each plate before it leaves the kitchen.  Guests can indulge in Andre’s signature menu items, including Rack of Colorado Lamb with eggplant parmesan and gratin dauphinois; Filet of Beef au Poivre Vert with green peppercorn cream sauce and jumbo asparagus hollandaise and Live Maine Lobster Thermidor.  Also, visit the upstairs private dining rooms as well as the intimate Cigar Lounge.

Andre’s Restaurant & Lounge at Monte Carlo is open daily from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.  Reservations are recommended but not required. Call Andre’s at (702) 798-7151 for more information.
