We haven’t updated our ongoing list of best new restaurants in a while, so consider this a culinary report card for 2026 so far 👍

🍸 Braseria by EDO

We had been anticipating the opening of Braseria for a while now — the latest example of how the EDO empire continues to expand without spreading itself too thin. The towering chandeliers and busy open kitchen set the tone for a meal based on sharable plates, full of French inspiration with Spanish and Italian touches. Corporate executive chef Tayden Poha-Ellamar gets to stretch his creativity with a sweet-and-savory foie gras tart and cappelletti swimming in a sauce similar to French onion soup, while tweaking staples that fans of the EDO brand have come to love: croquetas, patatas bravas, and those irresistible gin-and-tonics.

🥩 Diamond Spur Provisions & Meats

Diamond Spur is a Southwest Valley butcher shop and food counter affiliated with an Arizona ranch that raises grass-fed cattle with none of the bad stuff. By minimizing the middleman, prices are just as appetizing as the food, from a loaded $7 cheeseburger to an $18 steak with fries cooked in beef tallow. The only problem — demand has been strong from the start, so supply tends to run low, while lines run long.

🍣 Doanburi

With Doanburi, Chef Jae Doan gives Spring Valley a Japanese restaurant that’s full of creativity while matching the seafood quality of the Strip’s best restaurants —- and even some omakase spots in Chinatown. The shiromi carpaccio (white fish seared gently in hot oil with a yuzu vinaigrette) is full of flavor and the uni toast on sourdough brioche is beautifully briny with a wasabi crème fraîche and shrimp eggs. Even a relatively simple sushi roll mixes Chilean salmon and Hokkaido scallops with a wasabi habanero salsa.

🍗 Maroon

Chef Kwame Onwuachi has managed to give Las Vegas something completely new — no rare feat — with Maroon at the Sahara. Named after the indigenous Jamaicans that created jerk-style cooking, the restaurant is billed as a Caribbean steakhouse, but the culture is especially strong in the sweet and buttery cocoa bread, a refreshing green mango salad with okra, and mashed potatoes buried in chunks of crawfish. The signature jerk chicken has its own station in the middle of the dining room — and the same seasonings are used on the steaks, grilled over pimento wood. Throw in a wine list showcasing women and minority producers, the atmosphere of an underground club, and a ‘90s R&B playlist, and you’ve got one of the most unique and ambitious restaurants in Vegas.

🍝 Sartiano’s

A companion piece to the ultra-exclusive Zero Bond social club, Sartiano’s welcomes the general public for an upscale take on an Italian steakhouse with unusually friendly service and outdoor views of the Wynn golf course. You’re already in “worth the splurge” territory, so go ahead and start with the caviar-stuffed cannoli, continue with a spicy lobster bucatini, and feast on the Bistecca Fiorentina, a 40 oz. Porterhouse carved tableside under the guidance of James Beard favorite Alfred Portale.

🇹🇭 328 Thai

The people behind Weera Thai have something new. Located west of the Strip on Sahara (a few doors down from the Golden Steer), 328 Thai offers a cozy, but elevated setting to try all sorts of new flavors. Sure, you can get a Pad Thai, but don’t fear the heat of the spicy tom zaab sea bass soup or tiger prawns fried to a nice crisp in a tamarind glaze. The restaurant also offers two tasting menus to take out the guesswork and leave your experience in the chef’s hands.
