ARIA Restaurants: The 2026 Curated Guide
The updated 2026 ARIA restaurants guide with Carbone, Din Tai Fung, Bardot, CATCH, Jean Georges Steakhouse, and the strongest picks for groups and date nights.
ARIA restaurant queries are decision-stage searches because people usually already know they want a central Strip luxury hotel and are choosing how upscale or social the dining part of the trip should get.
Why This Page Matters
Curated for the actual booking decision
ARIA has one of the most commercially useful restaurant mixes on the Strip in 2026: famous reservation magnets, a top-tier steakhouse, a crowd-pleasing lunch-and-group answer, and enough recognizable names that the property still feels relevant to both luxury and social-trip planners.

How to book this property smarter
Carbone is still the trip-defining flex. Build around it if you can get it.
Din Tai Fung is the best lower-friction win because it satisfies more groups than almost anything else in the building.
Jean Georges Steakhouse and Bardot are the best fallback luxury answers when Carbone availability disappears.
