Tahoe Lake Dining | Himmel Haus German Pork Knuckle

First, the address: 3819 Saddle Rd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 I had no idea until I arrived! When we drove to the foot of the mountain, I realized this restaurant is right at the edge of the Heavenly parking lot. I’d been here so many times for skiing and never noticed it! This summer, while planning a trip to Tahoe, I came across this place called Himmel Haus on Xiaohongshu and was instantly drawn in by their massive pork knuckle! 😎 It took just over four hours to drive here from the South Bay, and we made sure to have dinner here on our first night!😊 We ordered almost all the signature dishes. Highly recommend the pork knuckle!! The sausage platter (every single one was delicious!) and the schnitzel were also great, though the fried items felt a bit standard in comparison. We also got a warm spinach salad that I didn’t manage to photograph, but it was fantastic—I loved the thick-cut bacon and the pickled sour eggs. The sauerkraut served with the sausages was top-notch! The pretzel was freshly baked, but I was honestly too full to try it. The Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese were also satisfying. The beer was excellent too—I’m a big fan of dark beer!😁 Even two hours after finishing the meal and an hour of walking around the lake, I’m still completely stuffed lol 😂. Highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Tahoe—whether you’re here with family, friends, or planning a ski trip this winter! The space is spacious, both indoors and outdoors. Summer in Tahoe is so comfortable—I really don’t want to go back to the Bay Area! #TahoeEats #BayAreaWeekends #LakeTahoe #Tahoe #BayAreaLife #BayAreaGetaways #Travel 🌲
