19 Best Vegan Restaurants in Tahoe City

“Love love loved this place. It's a cute little restaurant inside a grocery store. They have outdoor seating but we were in in a snow storm, so had to manage with the limited space indoors. But the food and the people were so good. My husband took the leaf eater and I took the teriyaki udon noodle soup. Both were Yum. We even took a pesto baguette to-go. Everything about this place is to fall in love with. ?

Vegetarian options: There are quite few options for vegetarians in sandwiches and noodle soups.. Plus many salad options.“

“Always a favorite. From the moment you come in to meet Christina or Brook you know your evening is going to be fantastic. Janice Aron Britteny Carsten and Stephanie always do a great job I'm making you feel like you're the only one in there even though it's always very busy because the food is so good. Lynn is new, but she was not an exception to the great experience we have gotten used to. The views are also amazing.“

“This was the most delicious and beautiful vegetarian restaurant meal we have ever had!! Compliments to the entire staff. We will definitely be back!!“

“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!!“

“Nice location. Much be good, a lot of people“

“The food was delicious! The coffee was amazing. And the service was excellent!!“

“Our first time there. Great little place, due to Covid, we ordered at the window. We hope to dine in when this is over. The sticky pecan bun was to die for. Can’t wait to taste the 5 cupcakes and 9 cookies tonight. Great coffee and Mocha too. We will definately be back“

“Excellent service here, everyone here was super friendly and directed me to a table with an outlet so I could charge my things. They also let me sign one of the flags they had hanging on the ceiling which was a cool experience.

I ate the salmon bagel there, the bagel itself was quite delicious. My only critique was that I felt there could have been more salmon on the bagel and less tomato. Would recommend.“

“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.“

“Best Cheese Burger I have ever had!“

“Southern fried chicken sandwich was great. Anja made our experience over-the-top. We learned of a pet loss as soon as we ordered. Her kindness and compassion are appreciated and will always be in our hearts. She is a beautiful soul ❤️“

“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!“

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

“Awesome experience; great food.“

“Enjoyed a leisurely lunch here during the recent snowstorm - we'd had plans to hit the mountains but with everything closed due to the high winds and absolutely dumping snow we opted for a day in town.
Ended up here for a nice lunch with tasty food and some good cocktails.

The special was a pastrami chili that my partner enjoyed but said the cotija cheese was a bit salty for their taste- but it didn't stop them from devouring the whole bowl!
The Naan flying bird was fantastic - very flavorful with juicy chicken, bright tang of the pickled red onions and the salty flavor of the feta - i opted for no aioli on mine and it was still delectable.
The service was a bit slow so if you're in a hurry I wouldn't recommend but if you're alright with Tahoe Time you should be just fine enjoying a meal and drink here.

They also have some board games to play - a couple nearby had a spirited game of battleship going and it seems they encourage a good hang here.“

“Our party of eight was starving. After a bit of scrolling, we saw that Tahoe City Sushi was highly rated, so we made our way over. The waiter's name was Michael. He was incredibly pleasant and accommodating, and his recommendations were spot on. Our food was incredible. As I was enjoying my meal, the front door burst open. A murderous cyborg from the future stomped inside and said "MUST-bzzzz-DESTROY GOOD-bzzz-SUSHI!" We were terrified. I barely had time to put my sake cup down before Michael jumped over the counter with a giant ray gun and said "Not on my watch, pal!" He threw two spicy tuna rolls at the nightmare monstrosity, which stuck to his ocular sensors. The thing clawed at the sticky rice, but wasn't able to unblind itself before Michael fired is ray gun once. Twice. Three times. Sparks flew as the sushi hating cyborg recoiled, letting out a metallic whine as it struck the floor, where it smoldered and twitched until it finally powered down. We all applauded as Michael, entirely unphased by the battle, put his ray gun down and said "Who wants more Sapporo?" Also, the poke bowls were fantastic. Five stars.“

“This is the first place we go to every time we are in town. We usually get food to go, but the restaurant is a nice place to be. The food here is always good. I'm happy to find pad woonsen, which is hard to find many places. Staff is friendly. If ordering to go though, order before 6pm, otherwise they will get very busy.“

“Staff was amazing! Server was attentive and fun. Food was fantastic. Great atmosphere.“

“We had the most incredible experience at Sunnyside Restaurant Lodge for our wedding! Our guests who stayed in the rooms couldn’t stop raving about the exceptional quality of service and the delicious breakfast. Allie, our coordinator, was an absolute gem—super personable and fantastic at making game-time decisions, especially during our unforgettable blizzard wedding in May!

Chef Christian truly outdid himself with an entirely gluten-free menu that everyone could enjoy. The food was a hit with all our guests, and we loved that it catered to different dietary needs without compromising on flavor. If you're looking for a beautiful venue with a dedicated team and amazing food, look no further than Sunnyside! Highly recommend!“
