Restaurants near Alpine Meadows

“Love this place! Always great food & service!!”

“Book a reservation at Sylva. I cannot recommend this place enough, it is a fantastic staff, amazing menu and beautiful place. Every dish was beautifully executed and delivered more than it promised. The palette on their chef and the flavors their menus bring cannot be missed. I will be back here every time I’m in Tahoe from now on. Trust the chefs at Sylva and the staff will take care of the rest. They do get crowded so please make that reservation ahead of time. My favorite place in Tahoe City, hands down.”

“Phenomenal food, service, ambience and atmosphere. The menu changes and my favorite is the Tasting Menu. It is divine and I always feel like royalty when I go. 🍽️🧑🏽‍🍳👑🌊🌲”

“Great spot for a casual beer just outside of town! Greg, the owner, did a great job of making this place feel like an extension of your own living room but with better beer! Fun place to get a group together and the live music is always enjoyable!”

“One of the best restaurants I’ve ever experienced! The staff were amazing too!! Definitely tell all my friends that travel to Tahoe that this is a must try!!”

“We came for dinner on a Friday night on a holiday weekend and were sat with no wait! We had the best waitress, Kira. Loved the butternut squash ravioli and had one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while! Wish we could have seen the view in the daylight!”

“Best affordable option in Truckee!”

“totally rad food and drinks. highly recommend! patio is epic”

“O.K., Coming to West Shore for last 20+ years. GF has been coming to West Shore since family cabin built in McKinney Creek in 1960. This place started off a little rocky a few years back but had definitely improved like a fine wine. I am a Carb boy and LOVE any variation of their Pizza's. GF non-Carb girl but still devours their pizza. Only suggestion (which is partially our fault) is to order extra Dates on their Date Pizza. Also, the Pickle salad could use some work (however, they refunded for that). Best deal on the West Shore and Tahoe City when it comes to price and quality. We usually go to Reno for dinner because of their quality choices, but the Dog and Bear holds up against the best that Reno has to offer. Service is 5 Star!!! FYI, I am a dog lover...Especially partial to Labs.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staff was friendly and able to pivot quickly when a small meetup changed to a larger gathering.”

“This is the best place for breakfasts, sandwiches, pastries and other treats in all Lake Tahoe -- and the folks inside are the best!”

“My husband and I went here for lunch and had the poke bowl, which was delicious. Would highly recommend! You order at the bar and pick your table. We ate there for lunch on a Tuesday, so I can’t speak to that always being the process. Food came out quickly and presented well!”

“Excellent hospitality and good wines”

“we were traveling and stopped and gave it a try. the gal was running the floor buy herself. 8/14/25 1pm. She was phenomenal and so was the pizza!”

“This restaurant is fantastic! Lukas was one of the best servers I have come across. They have unique and flavorful twists on traditional Scandinavian dishes. And the manager Jeff sources local foods. The ahi appetizer in cones was a recommendation from Jeff and did not disappoint. Our Schnitzel was fabulous and so was the elk pot pie. It was quiet at the time we happened to be there so we got to chat a bit. We learned that the owner’s daughter is the pastry chef so we had to try the cheesecake. Also delicious. It was just a great dining experience.”

“Epic place to check out !”

“I had a chance to try this place and was impressed. the owner is very nice and took some time to explain how his billing works. I had a large bowl which was outstanding. The ingredients were fresh and the bowl tasted great. I plan to go back next time I'm in town.”

“We love Bluefish! They have the BEST poke bowls in town!”

“Tucked in the back of health food store. Fantastic salad(magic), Thai coconut noodles and homemade chocolate chip cookie. Would stop here again, everything was so fresh and flavorful!”

“Olivia could not have been more professional and personable in all regards. Perfect presentation, everything clean and orderly. We loved our dessert there, will be back, and will refer. Thank you for making our day, Olivia. :)”

“Beautiful lakeside location with a nice big dog friendly patio, good draft beers brewed on-site and good pizza. The deep-dish pizza tasted better than it looked. We almost sent it back because the top and crust were pretty blackened, but I hate sending food back, so we persevered and it was better than expected. Not great, but not bad. It was $38 for a borderline burnt/mediocre medium pizza with 6 slices. My boyfriend and I each had 2 slices and 2 beers and were full. The pizza made for good leftovers as well. I enjoyed the two different draft beers I had; the amber type lager (can't recall the name) and a seasonal beer. The service in the bar area high tops was ok. Water is self-serve. They are on par with other local breweries and were very nice but nothing outstanding. Overall, a cool new-ish spot for a beer and an excellent view.”

“Great pizza and fun beer selections. Service was good, waitstaff very friendly.”

“I love this place. Very good choice and the best pizza in Tahoe City. Friendly folks. Reasonable prices. You will enjoy their product!”

“A bike event on Sunday turned into a cold, rainy, windy, miserable day. We went to The Dam Cafe for hot chocolate and got so much love! The owner not only welcomed the wet, muddy riders in, she put out space heaters and wrapped us in blankets! Amazing! I was so cold and was warmed both physically and emotionally by the kindness. The food and drink where delicious. Can’t say enough good things. A little cottage of heaven in Tahoe City!”

“Excellent coffee, very good service, prompt. Pretty good selection of fresh baked goods, a great buzz in the place, with people meeting and chatting. Great art on the walls, and clearly has free Wi-Fi. Definitely would come back.”
