With summer in full swing, we all have the urge to get outside and enjoy all there is to do under our clear skies and within the fresh, clean, Sierra air.
Fortunately for everyone who visits or lives in Truckee-Tahoe there is a delightful selection of casual to award-winning restaurants offering outdoor dining (with appropriate social distancing) for all of us to enjoy.
As we all carefully choose to experience our hometown again, we are taking this time to share an excellent publication by the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association that highlights the new standards for visiting and living within Truckee-Tahoe.
Please take the time to read the “Know Before you Go” Readiness Information Guide to Lake Tahoe.
As we all work together to share the spectacular scenery and outdoor adventures that come with living and working within the High Sierra, we thank you for working with us to make Truckee-Tahoe a safe haven for all to enjoy. Cheers!

Top Spots To Dine Outside In Truckee-Tahoe
To get you out and about to safely support our local establishments, our Team at Elder Group Tahoe’s Truckee office is dedicating newsletter to “Al Fresco Dining” in Truckee-Tahoe! Please contact each establishment to reconfirm their operational hours, and thank you for following their recommended safety requirements to keep you, your family, and our residents healthy all summer long…
Offering ‘modern American dining” on the edge of Lake Tahoe, Christy Hill is one of our ‘go-to’ options for an extra special night on the town. There are tables outside, yet they are limited so be sure to plan ahead. The view is as spectacular as the menu that overflows with some of the freshest and finest seasonal inspirations. We also appreciate their offerings that include ‘small plates’ as well as ‘large plates’ from which to choose. Their Pan Roasted Dayboat Scallops or Moroccan Spiced Lamb Loin are two of our favorites. And be sure to save room for their classic English Sticky Toffee Cake presented with Salted Maple Ice Cream, Bourbon Soaked Dates, and Candied Pecans.
One of the most popular spots on the Lake to dine outside is Gar Woods Grill & Pier. Be it a special occasion or just a spot to place to enjoy jaw-dropping views of the Lake, this is one of our family’s favorite restaurants year-round. During the summer months, we love to come by boat and spoil ourselves with their valet boat service that picks us up and takes us right to their expensive Pier and outdoor deck. Upon arrival, we often order one of their famous signature cocktails – and recommend the Wet Woody – which is their claim to fame. For dinner, the choices please every palate with options that span from fresh Hawaiian seafood, bacon-wrapped filets, to Kung Pao Tofu – all are colorfully presented and always delicious.
Awarded “Best Food,” “Best Value,” and “Best Restaurant” in Truckee, The Lodge Restaurant and Pub in Tahoe Donner is a winner year-round. During the cool summer months, it is also a top spot to dine “al fresco’ under the stars on their upstairs deck and outdoor Pavilion. We just love their new summer menu items. Each dish is as tasty as the next, and all reflect their reputation for offering exquisite bistro-style dished with Pacific Rim and French influences. We also appreciate their offerings that are organic and locally sourced.
Trendy, and in the heart of downtown Truckee, the Bar of America is another local favorite for all the right reasons. It has been a Truckee nightlife mainstay for over 40 years, and with their expanded outdoor seating, it is a must-do this summer. The casual, fun atmosphere of the bar and restaurant has long provided a perfect alternative and complement to the fine dining experiences throughout the region. We will suggest you start with their popular Ahi Poke Nachos and continue to enjoy your night on the town by ordering their Seafood Tagliarini, Prime Rib, or Firecracker BBQ Burger.
Backyard Bar & BBQ @ The Ritz Carlton
With their own signature “brew, blues, and BBQ” menu, the Backyard Bar & BBQ is another casual option with a crazy delicious BBQ menu. Just one whiff of their on-site smoker and you will be ready to enjoy their St. Louis delicacies while dining mountainside at Northstar. Their brisket is one of the best in the region, and their pulled pork or smoked ribs are excellent choices as well. Love pizza? It is all wood-fired and fresh from the oven. Be sure to order one of their ‘saloon-inspired” cocktails or a local craft beer to balance one of the best of the BBQ options Truckee/Tahoe.
With mountain cuisine that promises to fill you up after a day on the links or lakes, Moody’s is the perfect choice to end a perfect day outside in Truckee/Tahoe. Love ahi poke? Brick-oven fired pizza, experiencing the latest recipe for wild game, or seeking a locally crafted specialty cocktail? Make your reservation today for our favorite spot to dine outside in the crisp High-Sierra air, under the stars, on their well-lit patio.
