In Northstar Village (5 min)

Manzanita at The Ritz-Carlton ($$$)

Mountain-inspired cuisine with a stone fireplace and impeccable service. Their breakfast is excellent — we especially love the huckleberry pancakes. Dinner features seasonal California cuisine with a Tahoe twist. Reservations recommended.

Rubicon Pizza Company ($$)

The go-to for families. Hand-tossed gourmet pizza with creative toppings, plus pasta and salads. The energy is fun and casual, and kids love it. No reservations needed, but expect a wait on ski weekends.

Backyard Bar & BBQ ($$)

Ski-in/ski-out at the Ritz-Carlton — literally pull off the mountain and grab smoked brisket, ribs, and a craft beer on the deck. The vibes are incredible on a sunny ski day.

Downtown Truckee (10 min)

Moody's Bistro Bar & Beats ($$$)

Farm-to-table on historic Commercial Row. Great cocktails, live music, and a menu that changes with the seasons. It's our top pick for a date night or group dinner.

Squeeze In ($)

The legendary breakfast spot. Over 60 omelette varieties and a line out the door every weekend. Pro tip: go on a weekday at 8 AM to skip the wait. Their "Racy Tracy" omelette is famous for a reason.

Bar of America ($$)

Three decades of Truckee history. Campfire-inspired American food, great beer selection, and a patio that's perfect for people-watching on Commercial Row.

Worth the Drive

Christy Hill Lakeside Bistro, Tahoe City (20 min, $$$)

If you want the single best dining view in the Tahoe area, this is it. Panoramic Lake Tahoe views with French-Mediterranean cuisine. Perfect for a special occasion. Book a lakeside table at sunset.
