Food Scene

Delicious breakfast joint. Arrive early or be prepared to wait. If you do wait, it is close to lake so you can cross the street and take the kids over there to play for a litte. They have very good benedicts and a berry compote for waffles/pancakes that is worth the extra $2! This is my favorite restaurant in Tahoe.

This is located right at the entrance of the Truckee River from the Lake. It has great outdoor seating in the summer right next to the river and cozy cabin feel inside for winter. Great burgers and beers. If you get a burger you can easily split… they are reasonably priced and huge!

This is a nice little cafe in town. Their service is a little on the slower side but it is still worth it. If you stumble upon it, the food is good and they have a good Fat Cat Burger and bacon mac.

They just opened a great new location on the water/marina. Good food and service. It is a Alabama-based BBQ joint and it is well worth it! Awesome ambiance too.

This is an old restaurant that overlooks all of Truckee. It is great at sunset and has a great vibe to it. It is more in the fine dining category and not the most fun spot for kids, but if you sit on the deck it is a great view. Overall A+ experience.

This is a nice little coffee/pastry spot. They have a nice patio with outdoor seating and some good pastries. I always enjoy spending a morning there. Kids can run around and it is safe.

They make a great simple pepperoni pizza. They have other great stuff too but they’ve really got the pepperoni down! This is an easy option and usually not too long of wait or crowd in the summer months. Winter I would recommend getting in early and being prepared to wait on busy ski weekends. You can also pick up to-go!

This is a great grill/fine dining restaurant in downtown Truckee. You can call for reservations and I would recommend it as they book up pretty quickly. Great full bar and farm to table entrees.

Essentials

The Safeway in Truckee is ~8 miles from our house and a great spot to go on your way into town. It is the largest grocery store and it is a better Safeway than the one in Tahoe City.

This is the grocery store I recommend in Tahoe City (~5 miles) versus the Safeway in Tahoe City. It is a full grocery store and right at the entrance to the city.

Oil, spice, and vinegar shop in downtown Truckee. Great options for gifts and to take a bottle or two of infused oil and vinegar home. I recommend the Serrano Honey Vinegar and the Basil Olive Oil. Very helpful employees as well!

Tahoe home store (downtown Truckee location). Awesome rustic cabin boutique with great home goods and gifts. They have a bigger location up on Brockway but their downtown location is great for window shopping.
