South Lake Tahoe Dining

dining

Being able to drive from one end of South Lake Tahoe to the other within 15 minutes, it’s amazing the diverse selection of cuisine we have from so many different cultures.   Ranging from “hole-in-the-wall” places to five-star dining, eclectic menus to simple ones, you will surely enjoy your dining experience while staying in Tahoe.  Some of the types of cuisine the South Shore has to offer are: Chinese, Mexican, Greek/Mediterranean, Japanese, Thai, California Cuisine, steakhouses, Indian, Italian and much more.

Many people who come to South Lake Tahoe tend to cling to the downtown casino area, not knowing there is so much more to the South Shore dining experience than the casino restaurants (which are also very good, don’t get me wrong).  If you have come to the South Shore without a vehicle, taxis are in abundance here and no restaurant will be more than a short cab ride away.

As I could write all day about my favorite picks (I am very passionate about food), here is a link to the Tahoe Daily Tribune’s 2010 Best of Tahoe winners which were voted for by the locals — you will need to scroll down almost to the bottom.  I hope during your next trip to Tahoe you will get a chance to take advantage of our wonderful selection!

Riva Grill in South Lake Tahoe

Riva Grill in South Lake Tahoe

The Riva Grill is located on the lake in the Ski Run Marina in South Lake Tahoe.  With a contemporary, nautical decor, it offers a perfect environment for enjoying a relaxing dinner, grabbing some lunch in the Bar & Grill or having one of their infamous Wet Woody drinks while enjoying a beautiful view of the lake!  Their outdoor deck has stunning views of the lake and surrounding mountains, and heat lamps to keep you warm while you dine during the cool Lake Tahoe evenings.  During warmer days in the summer months, their tall glass windows that look out towards the water all slide open to give you an outdoor feeling while still be indoors.  Their menus consist of delicious,  California cuisine, and they have a very respectful wine list and full bar.

If you are staying in a South Lake Tahoe vacation rental this Easter weekend and are looking to get your guests out for a nice Easter brunch, the Riva Grill is doing their annual Easter Sunday Brunch on the Lake — and it is phenomenal!  It begins at 10:00am on Easter Sunday, April 4th, and goes until 3:00pm.  From traditional Eggs Benedict to Ceviche Shooters with Tortilla Chips, you will be sure to please even the most picky eater.  The Riva Grill is a contemporary, nautical-themed restaurant located on the Ski Run Marina in South Lake Tahoe.  It has beautiful views of the lake from its large windows (that actually slide open during the summer months for a fresh breeze off the lake).  Also during the warmer months, they have a large outdoor dining deck with heat lamps for the cool summer evenings.  They also offer lunch and dinner daily, and have one of the most well-known cocktails on the lake, the Wet Woody, a blended drink… a real must try!
