Morning has broken, and before you gear up for today’s activities it’s time for a hearty breakfast. Which Tahoe restaurant has the best breakfast? A subjective question, that is, but for folks who’ve found their favorite spot, they’re likely to take the question mark out. It’s THIS place with the four-egg omelets and huge pancakes. Or THIS place with the healthy smoothies and handcrafted granola. Or THIS one that serves a Lake Tahoe breakfast all day. Rest assured, your taste buds can be satisfied in a variety of places. You can grab a quick bite and tasty cup of coffee in lots of spots, savor some root vegetable hash in another, indulge in a loaded bagel, sit down to thyme-enhanced hash browns or maybe try something new to you such as pumpkin French toast. If you’re one of those people who like breakfast for dinner, there are lots of places serving breakfast in South Lake Tahoe that can satisfy your midnight bacon cravings, and even better is that some of these breakfast spots serve 24/7. We’re not sure if breakfast really is the most important meal of the day, but we do know that breakfast in Lake Tahoe is worth waking up – or staying up! – for!
