Restaurants near Norden

“A little hole in the wall with good food. Though we visited in summer, you can imagine the throngs of skiers that are taking a break from the nearby skiing (lifts are right outside.)”

“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!”

“Best ice cream we've ever had!!!(and we've had A LOT!)”

“Best rib eye steak sandwich”

“wonderful food and atmosphere. small town comfortable food. Definitely recommend. staff was amazing and polite.”

“This is quite possibly the best sourdough I have ever had, (that isn't going to break the bank). The bagels are my favorite... but I also enjoy the English muffins too. It's always a perk/reassuring when you know how clean the kitchen is... Jordan, who knew you would be a professional at this. I 100% support this side hustle. I mean it's more of an addiction for you 😂🫶🏻 but I support it.”

“Food and service is really great here. Highly recommend!!”

“Fun place Good bar food Staff attentive”

“We ordered the Rocker Burger with a side of salad and it was so good! Our burger was delicious, but what really made our experience special was the amazing service from our server, Azure. She was so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. She made sure everything was perfect and made us feel very comfortable. Thank you, Azure, for such wonderful service!”

“There’s No Better place to eat Mexican here in Truckee with Great food, family atmosphere and excellent drinks. Can’t say enough about this place 👍👍”

“We will absolutely come back here but the Australian prawn special was challenging for my wife. We didn't expect it to be presented like a creole dish (i.e. heads and tails attached) similar to something you might see with crawfish in NOLA. Pasta was nice and light and the service was excellent.”

“My family’s favorite place to go out for dinner in Truckee. Our go-to dishes are the butter masala paneer with naan and the goat curry, but we always love trying new dishes too. Service is slower, but intentional, so be prepared to slow down and savor dinner and conversation with your family or friends, day to day life is too rushed. The guys always make sure you leave full and satisfied.”

“Absolutely, hands down the best cinnamon roll I've ever had !! Super friendly, happy people wait on you and it's reasonable priced too! Our new go-to in Truckee !! They have lots of Gluten free pastries as well!”

“Quick, friendly service! The chili hit the spot.”

“Yummy!! Love this place! Delicious Carmel oat white chicol bars!”

“One of my last nights in the area and I wanted a quick and easy dinner, and it was amazing! This guy knows his soup! So flavorful and the rolls are amazing! I will be getting this all the time next time i’m back! Perfect amount of variety for all cravings! Might have to pick some up again before I leave town!”

“Hints of tobacco , vanilla”

“We recently eat at the cafe on a Wednesday evening, we couldn’t believe how good the food, and service was!

The new chef has brought some amazing tasty dishes; we had fish tacos, and the Ahi bowl. Both used fresh healthy ingredients, and were delicious. The tacos were just right level of spicy! Ali who was serving couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful, even when we arrived 30mins before closing.”

“The staff here goes above and beyond. Super friendly, fun and attentive. Our food hasn’t come yet but the drinks and atmosphere is fantastic!!”

“The pizza is delicious but they are not prepared for multiple customers. We were told our pizza would be ready for pick up in 20 minutes. When we arrived, we waited an additional 75 minutes for our order. We had to ask for updates since that information wasn't forthcoming while we waited.”

“At Squaw Valley. Very atmospheric, good food and good service. The fish and chips was huge and really good. I had the shepherds pie and it was tasty, but the lamb was really strong. All considered, we loved our lunch there.”

“I don't normally write reviews, but I had to this time. The Truckee food scene is modest at best. Most restaurants range from bad to mediocre, with a few notable exceptions, such as The Drunken Monkey and Moody's. Last year I would have included the Dining Room at Village Lodge in the "perfectly fine" category.But my wife and I went to dinner there last night (Jan 2024), and it was immediately clear that something had changed. The service was attentive and the menu was inspired. Andrew did a great job as our waiter. Before even ordering, I said to my wife that they must have a new chef, and indeed they do! It's made all the difference.I ordered the duck, my wife had the halibut, and we shared the steak tartare. It was all delicious. We paired it with a French Sancerre for an impeccable meal. Truly fine dining at a reasonable (by Tahoe standards) price.I should note that we were skiing earlier that day, and prior to dinner had a wonderful time getting to know some of the staff at the bar. We spent the night upstairs at the lodge (cute room), and the next morning had an equally good breakfast and equally good service from Bella. Also, they've put in a coffee bar right by the fireplace between the bar and the dining area. It's a nice place to warm up after a few runs.Highly recommended and worth the short drive up from Truckee.”

“Beautiful views and great coffee!”

“I had the Cobb salad with chicken and it was really nice and fresh! Took it to go and asked for extra lettuce and the ingredients separated out so I could build it myself, and I essentially got 2 salads worth!”

“Fresh Tex- Mex. Chips salsa a guacamole a must!”

“Great environment with wonderful vibes of hot buttered rum and snowy nights with a cozy feel.”
