i good friend of mine (brian reccow) owns Sol y Lago in Tahoe city. "Sierra Latino Cuisine"

ok food, ok wine list & a great view. if you go, tell him i said hi & i'll probably be up there next weekend!

Food in Tahoe is horrible for the most part. There's a reasonably good bbq place in south lake near the state line called womacks. Other than that, stick to skiing.

We were in South Tahoe last week and were very pleased with our meals at Evan's and Cafe Fiore. Both were small intimate places with good service and delicious meals.

On the downside, we had a very bad dinner at Orchid's Thai food. Each of the curries tasted as though it came from the same curry packet and the rice came out as one big, mushy glob. Terrible.

artisanbaker, have you gone on your trip yet, if so how was it? We were in Tahoe this past May and enjoyed great meals at Evan's, Cafe Fiore and 19 Kitchen at the top of Harvey's. The breakfast buffet at Harrah's was also very good with stunning views of the lake.

we brought some good wine/food and just did the family r&r thing. the family whom I work for own a cabin up there so it's a nice getaway. can't recommend the pastry shop in old truckee and the wine shop on the lake was closed sundays.

most of the good stories that i tell about the trip involve my initiation to snow chain installation.
