Guidebook for Truckee
Food Scene
Great rustic restaurant owned by a couple of our friends. High quality food, all organic produce, grass fed meat, biodynamic wine options, and THE BEST cocktails in town! Great for groups as the menu has family style options. On the pricier side, but definitely worth it.

Our favorite restaurant for a date night! Quaint little Italian restaurant right downtown. The ambiance feels like you are dining in a wine cellar. Great food and the best wine selection in Truckee. They also have a good happy hour week days.

Great little country style BREAKFAST spot down at Donner Lake. A local favorite, especially if you want to avoid downtown brunch crowds (expect a wait!). Grab some libations at the STICKS MARKET right next door. Great beer and wine selection.

Best BREAKFAST in downtown Truckee. On weekends, however, expect a wait as it's a popular spot. While waiting you can play on the life size chess board down the way. Fun way to pass the time. Marty's also has a sister location right at the bottom of our street on Donner Pass Road. Marty's Provisions has delicious seasonal foods that you can pick up and cook at home.

Drinks & Nightlife
Our go to spot for music and dancing. For such a small mountain community we get some awesome bands that come through and play at the CBC. Cool venue full of giant crystals and a lodge like feel. A local favorite. Definitely make sure to check out their calendar while in town if you are into the music scene.

All your grocery needs. This Safeway also has the biggest wine selection out of all the Safeways in North America. Apparently, both locals and tourists love their wine :)
