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!

The house restaurant for breakfast and lunch at Harrah’s is the American River Cafe, but it is unlike any other mainstream casino diner you’ve ever seen.

Lake Tahoe Restaurant
Many of Tahoe’s restaurants have views of the lake, but only a handful can honestly be called lakefront. The Artemis Lakefront Cafe is one of these select eateries, located in the Ski Run Marina adjacent to the docks and with lake views from both the dining room and the outdoor dining patio. Serving Greek and Mediterranean dishes, this is a 2014 spin-off site from the...read more

Shops at Heavenly Village
Lake Tahoe Restaurant
Azul Latin Kitchen is in the Heavenly Village and features a type of food that they are calling California-style Mexican, for a lighter spin on Latin cuisine.

The goodness starts with wintertime ski-in/ski-out access, an on-site meat smoker, homemade barbecue sauces and a great selection of craft brews and specialty cocktails. Along with the barbecue...read more
Bally's Lake Tahoe Casino Resort
Lake Tahoe Restaurant
The name is a bit misleading at Bally's Cafe. This is not the in-house diner for the resort but instead serves more as a coffee shop for quick drinks, pastries and pre-made sandwiches to go. The cafe is open all day, every day, but if you're looking to grab a morning coffee to go, you'll want to stop by early to beat the rush. It...read more
Lake Tahoe Restaurant
With its spot on the main corner of downtown Truckee, Bar of America’s location alone draws people through its doors. After 40 years in business, however, there is more to the place locals call “B of A” than where it stands (and, yes, B of A was once a Bank of America). Sure, the historic red brick building and large windows are authentically inviting, but...read more
