TOP 10 BEST RESTAURANTS IN SOUTH LAKE TAHOE
Hello everyone and welcome back to The Luxury! Lake Tahoe is a place of sublime beauty that
inspires awe in even the most jaded of travelers. But if you have delicious food to eat it adds
more to your experience in Lake Tahoe! We have summed up some top restaurants that you
will surely love! If you do let us know in the comments down below!
Number 10 Cafe Fiore
This is the perfect romantic spot for a special dinner. Decorated with white linens and glittering
candles, this cozy Italian restaurant is furnished with only seven tables for an intimate atmosphere.
During the summer, you can enjoy your meal outside beneath the towering pines. For a
hearty meal, try the Cappellini Bocconcini made with meatballs, fresh tomato and basil.
Bistecca alla Veneziana is medallions of filet mignon, a green peppercorn cream sauce. For
dessert, try the homemade white chocolate ice cream. The Cafe Fiore has been featured
in As featured in- The San Francisco Chronicle, The Sacramento Bee and Best Places To Kiss
In Northern California book and has been awarded the "Wine Spectator Award of Excellence" since
1992
Number 9 Taqueria Jalisco
Inspired by family origins rooted in Jalisco, Mexico, the owner and staff of Taqueria Jalisco
strives to bring the most authentic Mexican cuisine.
It’s easy to put aside the fact that this cash-only taqueria is located in a strip mall
once you get a taste of the authentic and affordable Mexican food, as well as the friendly
service. The three taco combo with beans and rice is especially satisfying after working
up an appetite during a long day on the mountain. During COVID, you’ll just have to get it
to go.
Number 8 Freshies Restaurant & Bar
When you want a healthy option for a late lunch or early dinner, Freshies Restaurant
& Bar is the place to go. Great for Vegans and Vegetarians.
The locals love this restaurant that specializes in innovative vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free
food, as well as a great selection of craft beer (including Pliny the Elder). The servings
are huge, the service is super friendly, and even better: from Memorial Day to Labor Day,
there’s a second-story deck with lake views. Right now, Freshies is only offering takeout,
which includes the entire menu, as well as wine, beer, and cocktails.

Number 7 Boathouse on the Pier
The best restaurant and bar to watch the sunset! The key to maximizing your enjoyment at The
Boathouse on the Pier in the summer is to get there for the afternoon happy hour (daily,
from 3 to 6 p.m.). Then you can sip discounted drinks on a picnic table on the longest pier
in Tahoe while watching people boat, kayak, and paddle board around the lake. If you go
for dinner, be sure to arrive well before the sun goes down and grab a seat on the top
deck for maximum romance (or by a window during cold weather). Like almost every restaurant
with a view in Tahoe, the prices aren’t cheap, but the fish tacos are reasonable,
though it’s worth it to shell out a little more for the Cajun shrimp boil pasta, “a
Tahoe twist on the Southern classic”.
Number 6 Base Camp Pizza Co.
No one can have enough pizza right? Located at the base of Heavenly Ski Resort,
this family-friendly spot with indoor and outdoor dining serves up tasty pies and craft
beer to hungry tourists and locals, but … mostly tourists. Expect long waits during the high
season (summer and winter). If you have visited the place do let us know in the comments down
below about your experience!
Number 5 South of North Brewing Co.
South of North Brewing Co. serves craft beers containing water from Lake Tahoe. The brewery
serves unique beer flavors such as their Horchata Stout. South of North Brewing Co. strives
to cater to various beer consumers with diverse palates.
This spot is as much about the amenities as the beer. During the day, play cornhole or
ping pong in the beer garden. At night, gather around one of the outdoor fire pits to listen
to live music or find a spot inside of the barn to play a board game. All while drinking
beer (order a flight to find one you like best) and snacking on pizza and sandwiches.
Number 4 Riva Grill On the Lake
The two-story interior of this sister restaurant to Gar Woods in North Lake is a great option
for chilly days and nights, but if the temps permit (or indoor seating isn’t allowed),
ask the host to walk you right by all of that to a seat on the outdoor (heated in the winter)
patio. There, you’ll be able to watch boats pulling in and out of the mirena while you
eat a Dungeness Crab sandwich and sip on boozy cocktails.
Number 3 Ciera Steak and Chophouse
This chop and steakhouse inside of the Montbleu Resort and Casino is the only choice in South
Lake when you want to splurge on steak, seafood, and wine. Ordering from the a la carte menu
will run you a couple hundred bucks for two, but if you’re on a “budget,” there is
also a $50 and $60 three-course prix fixe with options that include some of the restaurant’s
most popular dishes.
Number 2 Edgewood Restaurant
Edgewood Restaurant is South Lake Tahoe’s greatest hidden gem. With stunning floor-to-ceiling
windows and an elegant lodge aesthetic, diners enjoy striking views of mountains, pines,
and the glistening sapphire lake while celebrating golden anniversaries and creating diamond
memories. Fresh cuisine, prepared daily by a masterful
culinary team, is matched with a carefully selected and diverse wine list, creating a
dining experience that’s nothing short of noteworthy. Be sure to reserve a table just
before dark to secure a front row seat to the best show Tahoe has to offer—the vibrant
Sierra sunset.
Number 1 The Coachman
Even if you’re not staying at this super chic hotel, you can still enjoy the friendly
and welcoming vibe thanks to a lobby bar that serves coffee, beer, and wine. Take your drink
outside where you can sit around the fire pits and play cornhole or snuggle up under
blankets and gaze at the stars. Do try it out, your taste buds will surely
thank you!
