3 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Las Vegas — January 24

Partage. | Janna Karel Your handy guide on where to eat It’s the most pressing question of the weekend: “Where should I eat?” Here, Eater editors issue tried-and-true recommendations for places to check out this weekend. For the coffee fiend with a vintage aesthetic: Winnie & Ethel’s Downtown Diner Janna Karel Winnie & Ethel’s Downtown Diner. With a well-designed commitment to a 1940s style and a menu of comfort food classics, it can be hard to remember that Winnie and Ethel’s Downtown Diner is a relatively new restaurant rather than one that has existed in the Huntridge Shopping Center for decades. The diner opened in 2023 — the result of the grand prize of the Las Vegas Coffee Shop Giveaway — for which owners Aaron Lee and Mallory Gott won the restaurant they envisioned. Today, the lace-curtained and wallpapered restaurant pours mismatched mugs of drip coffee and flips stacks of malted pancakes throughout the week. Morning visits call for diner breakfasts of eggs, bacon, sausage, and ham with hash browns and biscuits — plus a side of malted pancakes with strawberries for anyone with a sweet tooth. And afternoons shift into comfort foods done right. Think French dips on soft rolls with super tender pot roast and just a touch of horseradish. Or herby and lemony chicken salad scooped into sandwiches. The diner recently extended its weekend hours so, if breakfast isn’t a fit, a grilled cheese with a root beer float may satisfy, instead. 1130 East Charleston Boulevard Suite 140 For the TikToker who doesn’t mind standing in line: With Love, Always Janna Karel With Love, Always. Taking the lessons they learned from their super successful Sorry Not Sorry Creamery and from their own six-digit-follower Instagram accounts, the team behind With Love, Always had a keen idea for the kind of smash burger restaurant they wanted to open. The burgers inspire cravings from their flashy videos alone — and the welcome surprise is that the burgers are just as good in person. Burgers at this Centennial Hills fast-casual restaurant start with Black Angus patties seared on a hot griddle until they develop a lacy crust. They come loaded on a potato roll with toppings like American cheese and super thinly sliced onions. The S.O.B. burger is a standout on the small menu — onion-smashed patties topped with American cheese and pickles, best ordered with add-ons of fresh jalapeños and bacon. And for dessert, order a swirl of frozen custard dipped in bright red cherry shell. Keep in mind that — just like Sorry Not Sorry — With Love, Always maintains a line out the door. So you’re best visiting either before or after the dinner rush. 6441 North Durango Drive Suite 140 For those who want a modern tasting menu: Partage Janna Karel Partage. Partage in Chinatown shakes up its tasting menu every month — a feat given that the nine courses on the tasting menu are each inventive, whimsical in preparation, and effective in imbuing French classics with a modern edge. One dish that regulars insist remains on the tasting menu year-round is the oxtail croque monsieur, with tender, savory oxtail layered over strips of buttered toast. A stunning arrangement of bluefin tuna, broccoli puree, and arancini is a joy to parse and combine. And perhaps the most playful dish in January comes served on dishware custom-designed by executive chef Yuri Szarzewski. An eggshell is filled with creamy egg parfait and mushroom soup with a noodle for sipping; a cheekily oversized version of it houses a poached egg with shaved black truffles. Tasting menus are available with five courses ($110) or seven courses ($148), one of which is a dessert. But those who want the full effect will opt for the signature course ($180) — and maybe even a wine pairing. 3839 Spring Mountain Road
