Restaurants in Tahoe City

“Katie recommended the mushrooms and snap pea/asparagus salad. We also got the burger and the pork belly Mac and cheese. Every dish was unique and flavorful and we can’t wait to be back. Beyond that, Katie provided amazing service and was so personable and kind! She is a gem and deserves a raise!”

“Located on the main drag through town with some outdoor and indoor seating. These were some of the largest portion tacos I’ve ever had. I had a chicken and a carne asada and my wife had the carnitas and a pork taco. We traded tastings and could not decide which was best. All were great. And the servers helped point us to other great places they liked to eat locally.”

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

“Excellent hospitality and good wines”

“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!”

“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.”

“If you are looking for the locals spot, this is the place. Great food at a reasonable price. Not much more that a hungry human could ask for.”

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

“The place is exceptional. Sophia helped us and she was extremely sweet and helpful.

The wings were pretty good. The fried rice was pretty amazing. The cheesecake is nothing short of art.”

“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 ice cream and service! We will certainly be back. Our 5 year old says “You’re the best ice cream cooker!” Thank you for the delicious experience!”

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

“Best food we have had in Tahoe. Period !!!! Try the onion rings Fat cat style. !!!”

“Couldn’t be happier with Tahoe National Brewing Company and its team, especially Daphne and Jessie. Our family of 18 had arranged ahead of time to have dinner here for my dad’s 80th birthday, but we were also hoping to surprise my dad with line dancing lessons after dinner as he’s always wanted to try it but hadn’t had the chance. Although TNBC has public line dancing events every 2nd and 4th Sunday evenings, we were only in town in between those times. They graciously worked with us to have their dance instructor Kendall available for us! She was super for our group and it was a dream come true for my dad. Very memorable. Thanks TNBC! Thanks Kendall!”

“We’re visiting from the Uk and can’t recommend Za’s enough. Amazing food, amazing view, amazing service, amazing food, amazing staff and amazing value. I can’t recommend this place enough, we loved it and the only negative is that we live a million miles away! Thank you for with a lovely experience xx”
