Las Vegas, also known as “Sin City,” is the entertainment capital of the world and gambling paradise in the United States.

Tip 1: Shang Artisan Noodles

Here you will not only encounter greats such as René Frank and the guys from Nobelhart & Schmutzig, but also handmade noodles served in delicious broths. The menu lives up to its promise - a culinary experience not to be missed.

Tip 2: Noodlehead

Continue on to Noodlehead, a street food-style restaurant that offers modern interpretations of classic noodle dishes from all over Asia. Whether ramen, pho or udon - everyone will find something to their taste here. The creative yet authentic cuisine makes Noodlehead a highlight on my list.

Tip 3: Shanghai Taste

Our last lunch spot is Shanghai Taste, famous for its first-class "Xiao Long Bao", the famous dim sums. These delicate dumplings are a real treat and an absolute must when you are in Las Vegas. The combination of first-class ingredients and masterful preparation makes every bite an experience.

Food trends are breaking boundaries

From naturalness, urban farming and zero waste

Food trends in gastronomy and nutrition are shifting strongly towards sustainability, naturalness and innovation. Consumers want less and less GMOs and are reluctant to eat cultured meat. It is important for restaurateurs to be aware of these trends and implement them in a well-considered manner. After all, the most important requirement for the food service industry in 2025 is to set a clear focus and simplify offerings and processes as much as possible – also using automation and AI. Food trends are part of this change: it is important to make targeted use of them.
