Restaurants near Donner Lake

I highly recommend the Dining Room at The Village Lodge at Sugarbowl. It was wonderful experience all around. The chef was able to accommodate our various dietary restrictions, including gluten free and dairy free plus our food allergies. It is so nice to be able to dine out on Michelin Star quality food right here in the Truckee area.

The mushroom ‘scallops’ was one of the best dishes I have had in a long time. I haven’t been back to the lodge in over a year but they have a new, more Interesting menu and I plan to be back to try all of the other menu items soon. The problem is that I will want the delicious mushroom dish again. If you haven’t been there in a while, it is definitely worth the trip to give it another try.

Overall great dining experience. Chill servers, food was great.

Upscale pub grub. Excellent food and service. Reservations helpful. Worth the 15 minute drive from Northstar. A little overpriced, but so is everything in this ski town.

Stella was outstanding- as soon as we walked in we were pleasantly greeted by Gimela. The open kitchen concept was modern and fresh. Gimela continued on as our server and did so with great ease and knowledge. She assisted with a wine selection. The special appetizer of pork belly was memorable with so much flavor and a lovely presentation. For the our table of 4 we ordered the following: skillet cornbread- moist and well sweetened; brussel sprouts cooked and favored perfectly; squash soup perfect mix of cream and spices , the best we have ever had; short rib ragout which was creamy rich and the campenelle pasta held the flavors just right and also the cod which was so flavorful. Every dish was presented beautifully. If you are a foodie go here and enjoy!
