However, many people also like to partake in the land based gambling offered in some of the world’s best casinos. In order to keep customers happy and in their complex, casinos also offer other establishments for the convenience of their patrons. For instance, most casinos have one or more restaurants that they offer. Some of these have terrific food, so good that some people will come there just for the food!

In the tropical Bahamas, travelers can find the Atlantis Casino. Here the historic Café Martinique serves up some find updated versions of classic dishes. For instance, classic lobster thermidor and coq au vin have been revamped and are found on the menu. The restaurant has had a long reputation of fine dining and has even appeared in a film. The James Bond film, Thunderball, filmed in the 1960’s was featured as a cameo. Since then the Café Martinique has of course been updated adding a birdcage elevator as well as a grand staircase. The windows feature elegantly etched glass which further adds to the restaurant’s charm.

Another tropical venue, this time Puerto Rico also features an excellent casino restaurant. The Condado Plaza Hotel and Casino is the site of Pikayo. The restaurant was moved by Chef Wilo Benet to its current location from a museum. The move was a good one as patrons find the cuisine appetizing. Here, Benet uses Puerto Rican ingredients to create dishes with influences from other cultures such as Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Spanish, French, Italian and Arab. A second restaurant is also found here known as Varita. Also the brainchild of Benet, it includes a wood burning pizza oven as well as an immense rotisserie which cooks various meats including suckling pigs.

Of course many of these sites are in exotic locations that many of us can not easily get to, however it doesn’t stop us from enjoying a nice home made meal and a game or two on riverbelle.
