Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is a wonderful destination all year round, with attractive reasons to visit in any season. Winter sports fans will of course want to visit when the snow lays thick and soft, between the months of November and April. If you prefer a family break in glorious sunshine, then summer is your best bet, when you can get out on the water, explore the mountains, and even relax on the beach by the lake. For the best of both worlds, visiting during the shoulder seasons of spring and fall is the way to go, with lower crowds, lower prices, and beautiful spring blooms or fall leaves turning the landscape all colors of the rainbow.

As well as being an outdoor lover's paradise, Lake Tahoe is also a bit of a culinary haven, with local and international restaurants serving up tasty fare that is sure to hit the spot after a busy day exploring the wilderness. For craft beer, unfussy food, and a fun family atmosphere, Flatstick Pub in South lake Tahoe is very highly reccommended. They are famous for their cheesy dishes, including melts, sandwiches, and pizzas, all of which use locally soucred ingredients.

For some fun fusion dining, Getaway Cafe specializes in delicious Mexican and American food. You can find irresistible food served up throughout the day, from huevos rancheros and coconut-crusted French toast at breakfast to fantastic burgers, sandwiches, salads, and more for lunch and beyond.

If you are a fan of a great breakfast, then Squeeze In in Truckee is a must-visit, offering dishes to start your day off right, including breakfast burritos, eggs benedict, and the proclaimed 'best omelets on the planet'. For something a little more international, book yourself a table at Pianeta Ristorante for fantastic Italian food, or find all-American fare at California Burger Co.
