Crossroads Kitchen Experience

Crossroads Kitchen Experience

Just experienced the ultimate plant-based luxury at Crossroads Kitchen Las Vegas, and WOW, what a night! We went all in with the 7-course tasting menu ($175 pp), and every bite was a showstopper. From the perfectly paired glass of champagne to the truffle shaving during the fifth course (yes, the chef came out to do it himself!), it was indulgence with purpose.



The flavors? Bold. The textures? Unbelievable. And the staff? It was so courteous, kind, and excited to guide us through each course, it felt like being part of a secret club for vegan food lovers.

Oh, and we left with a signed Crossroads cookbook to keep the magic going at home. ✨
