Palisades Tahoe Restaurants

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. 

If you want a little Irish influence with your Olympic Valley ski experience, then The Auld Dubliner is a pub to visit. Decorated with authentic Irish accents, The Auld Dubliner not only creates an atmosphere that inspires that Irish pub feel, but also offers drinks and tasty food to accompany the vibe. The draft Guinness is served in true-to-Ireland 20-ounce Imperial glasses and goes excellently with the shepherd's pie and hot wings. They have a full bar that serves spirits and cocktails true to the Irish way as well. On busy weekends and holidays, The Auld Dubliner is known to have live music that gets people on the dance floor as well as the longest-running weekly karaoke event in Lake Tahoe. They also offer breakfast on Sunday mornings. The establishment closes its doors during the slow time of late October into early November. 

If you are yearning to satisfy your sweet tooth while indulging the eyes in colorful visual fun, then step into the world of sweetness in the form of Euro Sweets. Decorated in candy-inspired colors that bring out the kid in anyone, the shop is a fun and entertaining establishment beyond selling sweets. You can find everything sugary at Euro Sweets: from hard candy to chewy, from gelato to frozen yogurt, from specialty candies (like sweets that resemble the ski area) to chocolates not found anywhere in the world. Euro Sweets stays open until 9 p.m. helping to indulge even those after-dinner cravings. The shop does shut its doors during the slow season of October. If you are enjoying the Euro feel, Euro Sweets has two sister establishments (Euro Snack and Euro Crepe) in the form of kiosks next to the Funitel and at the base of the chairlift Far East. Respectively, they offer waffles, hot dogs wrapped in a French baguette and crepes. These two are open as weather permits.
