Top Spots to Dine at Lake Tahoe / Incline Village

La Fondue

120 Country Club Drive #66, Incline Village

If you seek a spot where your kids can play with their food, and you can dine with your pup, too, THIS is the place. Offering a menu that overflows with Austrian-style faire, La Fondue is a local establishment that is a favorite for those who seek not only fondue, yet other delicacies for all to enjoy.

Fumo Eatery and Bar

120 Country Club Drive, # 61 Incline Village

Known for their gourmet offerings and craft cocktails, Fumo is the place to go to enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner or our favorite, a beverage and bites. Whether Black Truffle Pasta or an Elk Rack sounds good to you, you will not be disappointed with anything on the menu.

Austin's

120 Country Club Drive, #24, Incline Village

Austin's is one of longest, most established family restaurants in Incline Village, serving locals and tourists alike for over two decades. During the summer and warmer fall days, you can eat out on their patio. They have a full menu that will fit any desires for breakfast, lunch and dinner and are locally famous for their Fried Chicken and enormously-delicious salads.

Osteria Sierra - Hyatt Regency

111 Country Club Drive, Incline Village

Here's one of the best options for an outside patio with beautiful views of the Sierra. Overlooking the resort-style pool and patio, we suggest their Sunday Brunch options and Italian faire at night. Be sure to order dessert; their pastries are some of the bests in town!

Tunnel Creek Cafe

1115 Tunnel Creek Road (just off Tahoe Boulevard in Incline Village)

A hub for some of the best mountain biking at the Lake, this casual establishment is our top choice for a bite after a refreshing hike to Monkey Rock. It's also your base camp for a stroll along the famous East Shore Lake Tahoe Trail. Pick up an espresso and pack a Panini picnic - everything is fresh and tasty for breakfast, lunch or brunch. And, there's live music on the weekends in the summer.

Big Water Grille

341 Ski Way, Incline Village

As the old saying goes; Go Big or go home. This is one of the Lake's finest restaurants with expansive views of the Lake Tahoe and the Sierra from every vantage point. We love the deck (which you can rent for a special occasion or small wedding - FYI). The food is always fabulous as is the service and their superior wine list.

Crosby's Pub

868 Tahoe Boulevard, Incline Village

Known for its great plates and great home-town all-American menu, Crosby's has been an institution in town for generations, and with good reason. We choose to sit outside in the back where its casual seating is set next to a babbling creek in its natural setting.

Alibi Ale Works - Incline Public House

931 Tahoe Boulevard, Incline Village

THE local spot to grab a brew and a burger, the team at Alibi know how to do it right. Offering over 18-frequently rotating Alibi beer on draft (cider, wine & nitros, too), it's a great place to bring your pup (outside) and enjoy their 'Hoppy Hour" specials while dining on the deck.

The Grille at the Chateau

955 Fairway Drive, Incline Village

Wrapping up our top spots to dine outside in North Lake Tahoe, Incline Village, is another local's favorite spot to recommend to visitors from near and far. The views from their deck sprawl from the 9th green, across and to Lake Tahoe and far south and west to spectacular Sierra sights.

Bon Appetit!
