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!

22 Bistro is one of the first restaurant/bar options that you encounter when walking off the slopes and coming into the Village at Palisades Tahoe. One fun aspect of 22 (as it is affectionately known by locals) is that it caters to both higher-end tastes with a fine-dining menu while at the same time offering an array of quick-food options and après-ski drinks. Their outdoor seating is excellent for people watching, and it makes an easy-to-find meeting point. 22 offers summer and winter menus; one item that is included on both, and highly recommended, is the 22 Bistro Burger. Another benefit of 22 is their catering department that can accommodate large and small parties as well as weddings. The restaurant closes during the slow season of late October to mid-November.
