❄️ How to Dine at North Lake Tahoe?

Before coming to the U.S., I always skied in Japan and was totally spoiled🤣 I can’t stand finishing a day on the slopes without an onsen & delicious food! But my friends love skiing, so I often tag along reluctantly. I noticed most recommended restaurants are in the south, so here’s one for the north! I’ve hit plenty of disappointments and it took me a while to figure things out. 📍 La Fondue I’ve gotta crown myself a genius for finding this Swiss fondue spot🫕 Wanted to try the neighboring Le Bistro, but it was closed that day. We went for the Deluxe Dinner for Two ($98.79). Besides two complimentary glasses of champagne, it includes three courses of fondue! Starter 🧀 cheese fondue, main course with a choice of broth (cook) or oil (fry), and dessert 🍫 chocolate fondue. We picked broth for the main—after cooking the veggies, the soup turned super flavorful! The spread was seriously generous, including 🐔🐷🐂🐟🦐 and even 🥓 bacon-wrapped dates. The added portobello mushroom shrimp paste was also delicious! Minor downside: ❗️the meat quality was just average❗️, but at this price, no complaints~ vibe was absolutely 💯. 📍 Osteria Sierra (Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe) Highly recommend this hotel! Dinner here totally blew me away (or maybe my expectations for Tahoe were just too low😅). Nothing was half-hearted—even the veggies were diced and seasoned! Except for the slightly sweet tiramisu, everything was on point 💕. Breakfast is a buffet on weekends and à la carte on weekdays, both excellent. Booking with Amex includes breakfast—big thumbs up 👍. Amenities include a heated pool (so essential in winter!) and free s’mores by the fire🔥. 📍 Bourbon Pub (Northstar Village) Was surprised to find this is a Chef Michael Mina restaurant! Though almost every dish was on the salty side, options are limited in the Village. The lamb chops were decent, and the freshly baked 🥨 pretzel bread was incredibly fragrant! 📍 Inclined Burger (Northstar Village) If you like thin, crispy fries, you HAVE to order the Garlic Fries and ask for extra crispy!!! Every time before hopping off the gondola, I order online and pick them up hot and fresh. Can’t stop munching on these garlic fries— Just burned off those calories and already gaining them back 😆 📍 Christy Hill Ate here last year—don’t remember much, so it was probably just okay. Only recall the beautiful view! Good for dates #FoodReview #Fondue #LakeTahoe #BayAreaFood #BayArea #BayAreaLife #Tahoe #SkiTheBay
