50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Genoa

“Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff. Mac and Cheese and pork sandwich were delish, French onion could have used a little more salt during making (not the same as adding salt at the table). Even saw some deer rummaging in the front.“

“The pizza was great… the service awesome! Basecamp is always a go-to when in Lake Tahoe!“

“Martin's Empanash is the jewel of South Lake Tahoe!! His empanadas are superb, soups delicious and sauces outstanding. He is also a friendly and gracious host! Highly recommend an empanada and soup for a heavenly meal! Thank you to all at EmpaNash!!“

“good and fresh very busy as usual but worth the wait“

“Delicious bagels and coffee. Line was long but didn’t take long to move and worth the small wait“

“The Red Hut Café is a true local favorite in South Lake Tahoe, and it’s easy to see why. From the moment you walk in, you get that classic, comfortable diner atmosphere that feels both welcoming and familiar. It’s the kind of place where locals gather regularly and visitors quickly feel like regulars.

Breakfast is clearly the highlight. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and everything arrives hot and well prepared. Whether you’re ordering pancakes, eggs, hash browns, or one of their hearty breakfast plates, the consistency is impressive. It’s straightforward comfort food done right, without unnecessary flair but with plenty of flavor. If you’re spending time in Tahoe and want a reliable, satisfying breakfast before heading out for the day, this is a strong choice.

Their ice cream also deserves special mention. After a long day on the lake or the slopes, it’s hard to beat stopping in for a scoop (or two). The quality and flavor selection make it a standout treat in the area.

Overall, The Red Hut Café combines great food, solid portions, and a welcoming vibe. For breakfast and ice cream, it’s tough to top within a hundred miles.“

“I ate there and the burger and onion rings I had were awesome!“

“Always fresh delicious food. I have auto immune and can’t have gluten and they are more than accommodating“

“6 of us had a superb meal. The server was attentive, but forgot to mention the rolls had powdered garlic after I had told him I had a intolerance of Powdered and dried garlic.. I ordered the Lobster ravioli, which was an appetizer, for my dinner and a dinner sized portion was served. It was delicious and I devoured the whole dinner. Will come again when we are in the are.“

“Country fried steak and eggs“

“Every time we’re in Lake Tahoe we don’t leave without enjoying their Sushi 🍣“

“Friendly and courteous staff. Great food.“

“I’m so excited that JJ’s is open again! I have missed their chili rellenos and chicken tacos. The best, most authentic Mexican food I’ve ever had. It’s nice to enjoy a meal in a family atmosphere. I highly recommend them for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. ❤️“

“Dislike people who just want something to complain about. The waitress was literally superwoman on Christmas eve, all by herself, handling different positions, she was doing the best she could and still kept her cool. Literally, there was only two other workers at the restaurant that day (the chefs), the waitress had said to me. Its obviously christmas eve. I'm not going to name the reviewer here, but they seem to have no heart, no compassion, no shame, and just rude to post a review like that...Just give them a break, it's not all about u. Great job to everyone there! Best food ever! Thanks for everything! Will be back!“

“Perfect dinner! The flavors and menu selections, drinks too, were great!“

“My friend has been telling me about this place for years and today I finally got to visit! 100% worth the wait (and the trip across the Atlantic). Visiting from England and I will never look at a sandwich (or a salad) the same way again. Amazing, best lunch I’ve probably ever had.“

“Cute little stop for a quick bite and coffee!!!
The drinks had the just perfect amount of sweetness, and I loved that they had plenty of sugar free options (unlike others places that just have vanilla). The service is an extra bonus! Thank you 😊 will be back when I'm in the area next time...
P.S. The bunny decorations were so beautiful! 🐥🐇“

“Great vegan and other dishes.“

“Great folks to work with. Thank you. We appreciate your support.“

“Food is very good. Service was great - Nicole D is charming and efficient! We will be back (again)!“

“Wonderful food, great service! Creative menu options and nice comfortable ambiance“

“We loved our cookie sandwiches! Delicious and was fun to create.“

“Great music fun bonfires and lights . I enjoyed the strawberry milkshake beer .“

“The place is very nice, small, but with a great vibe. We ordered the duck as a starter and it was lovely. For the mains, we had the coffee ribeye and the lamb. To be honest, they were just okay. I'm a big fan of lamb, and this one didn't feel cooked at its best (fat was chewy). The coffee ribeye was fine, but I was expecting something more unique in terms of flavor.“

“Have dined here a number of times, every entree has been delicious! Will be back again.“

“love this place, service is awesome drinks are great. love Reno and Lucky Beaver“

“Had a great experience. Nick the bartender was great. Friendly, polite and attentive. Would definitely return.“

“We had the buffet. For a Chinese Buffet, it was pretty good. There wasn't anything fancy there and I think there were probably better menu items, but you can fill up for a reasonable price. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The place could use some minor maintenance, but was clean. Also, there were boxes of supplies visible while dining. It lessened the ambiance. I'd go again and would recommend it to others.“

“We had the Chateaubriand for two and it did not disappoint. Perfectly cooked. We added Bleu cheese and mushrooms and it was perfection. The broccolini, asparagus, mashed potatoes were also cooked to perfection. Saul was our server and he was the best. We were treated like family. Would definitely go here again“

“As someone who very much enjoys Mexican food and has eaten at many restaurants, I have to say, this may be the best I’ve ever had. 100% would recommend. I had the street taco combination plate with shredded beef, but based on my experience, I would bet their entire menu is stellar.“

“Will start off by saying the food was great! However the hostess was another story. Recwntly had dinner on 8/11/24. The hostess would not let us sit at the table to start ordering drinks because we were missing 2 out of the 8 people in our group. needless to say we already had 6 ready to be seated. once we were seated the table next to us had the umbrella slanted. this caused the table to fly over from a gust of wind shattering a plate and cutting my leg. the stay was kind enough to provided a wipe and some bandaid. We continued our night until the hostess decided to empty water cups from other guest into the flower bed behind us. Which then caused the dirt to splash up on one of our guest white shirts and be covered in mud. A smug sorry was replied out. As stated before the food was terrific and the wait staff was great but the hostess needs to be replaced.“

“💜💜💜 great place to eat!!!!“

“About a year later, I decided to come back since it’s close to my rental, and I’m glad I did. This time, I had a much better experience overall. The food was noticeably better, well prepared, and enjoyable. The service was also improved, more attentive, and made the visit pleasant. It was a big difference compared to my previous visit, and I’d definitely consider coming back again.“

“Delicious fresh, made from scratch pizza and pasta. 🍕“

“From my personal experience, this is the best place to have breakfast in Lake Tahoe. We tried the French toast and scrambled eggs 🍳 and everything was absolutely delicious. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, Highly recommended!“

“One of the most friendly restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Made sure we were taken care of the entire way. I even think my daughter had a little crush on our server Danny 😂 ohh and the pizza was great too!“

“The food was amazing! Beer was cold. The service was top notch. Hope to visit again this week before leaving for home.“

“Erin did a fantastic job on our wedding cake and cupcakes! We wanted a little something different (a very deep burgundy vintage heart cake) and she blew it out of the water! I have always felt like cake just tastes like, well, cake haha. But the cake Erin made was genuinely SO GOOD. We received so many compliments on our cake. The cupcakes she made were gluten free and those got tons of compliments too! Would highly recommend Tahoe Love Bakery!“

“Had the carne asada. It came with sides and tortillas. Chips and salsa are complementary. Had the horchata but it overly sweet and grainy but still refreshing. Everything else was good but not stand out or exceptional. Expect to spend around 15 per person. Overall quality is great for the price.“

“It's been a minute since we last ate here (preoccupied with soccer-themed vacations).

We ordered Root Beer, Breath of the Wild, Blue Horizon, Baby Spinach, Crispy Tamarind Chipotle Duck Tacos, Gnocchi Bolognese, Charbroiled Filet Mignon, and Chocolate Trio.

It's good to be back.“

“My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful five-day stay and will absolutely be back to take in those breathtaking lake views and snow-capped mountains!“

“We love this place! Have breakfast every time we are here! Fast and friendly service in a nice little quiet atmosphere.“

“One of the most friendly restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Made sure we were taken care of the entire way. I even think my daughter had a little crush on our server Danny 😂 ohh and the pizza was great too!“

“Always satisfied when my Family comes here!“

“Not bad at all
Food good
Of course
Only thing I did not like was tapping card at register
I did a to go order
Paid at register and sat at bar
Most places when you tap your card
You can see the device as you tap it
You know see the amount you are tapping for
At this place it's not really in view as you tap it to pay
Which is not a good thing“

“We come here once or twice a week that’s how much we like this place.“

“There were four of us that had lunch at Peg's in Carson City, on April 11. The food was expensive and not what it use to be like before Covid. We had a very rude waitress and the food was a very poor quality and not as it was ordered. Carson is really growing, but you need to keep your quality up or you will not get return customers. It will be a long time, if ever, that we visit again.“

“They play one heck of a game of backgammon!“

“Beautiful, warmer than usual winter day in South Lake Tahoe. Stopped into Insomnia Cookies for a warm delicious chocolate chip cookie. After ordering 6 deluxe cookies (Oatmeal Walnut Chocolate Chip- chefs kiss 😘), decided to indulge into trying their ice cream. As our wonderful hostess, Karen, offered samples of flavors, she introduced this signature flavor chocolate chip dream. This sample was not only delicious it had my brain in overdrive! Not because of its fabulous texture and taste, but this chocolate based ice cream is PURPLE!
So, if you are visiting the Amazing area of South Lake Tahoe village and craving cookies and ice cream (salted caramel-runner up), check out Insomnia Cookies and say hello to Karen.“

“Ordered a bunch of cookies, brownies, tarts and a cake for a party! I started by emailing and asking questions as it was only a few days until our party. Their response was so quick, they were so helpful and kind. The goodies were delivered when they said they would be and were perfect! Everything was delicious! Thank you for your help, your excellent communication and delicious work! I highly recommend Tahoe Cakes by Grace!“
