| The Stone House Cafe - Converted outdoor home made entirely of stone. An award winning chef / owner that has become a Reno
favorite with other restaurants such as Adele's and Peg's. Seating is approximately 65% outdoor with patio heaters in a relaxing atmosphere. The
restaurant is located an easy drive from both the Atlantis and
Peppermill hotels in Reno. Highly recommended by our editors for food in a unique local atmosphere. |
1907 South Arlington @ Plumb Lane: Reno - 775.284.3895 |
Pinnochio's 551 East Moana @ Kietzke 775-826-5151 |
A true Reno institution - family run - hearty Italian meals - strong drinks - great, friendly service. A highly recommended local's favorite
that is rapidly taking over its Moana strip mall location... |

Creative American cuisine - great quality, atmosphere, and service. Highly recommended by our editors. |
| Silver Peak Brewery & Restaurant |
Awesome micro-brewery with rooftop patio, casual bar, and excellent food. |
Great Basin Brewery 833 Victorian Avenue Sparks - 775-355-7711 |
One of the best reasons to visit Sparks is this rocking brewery with great quality food and nightly live music. Located an easy walk from John
Asguaga's Nugget Casino in Sparks / the Sparks movie Cineplex... Local brewers including the infamous "Icky"! * Recommended |
Deux Gros Nez - 786-9400 249 California Avenue |
Vegetarian sandwiches in the "legal district" of California street near the downtown Reno hotels. Featured entrees include the Mean
Bean Deal - brown rice, beans, vegetables, cheeses,salsa, & tortillas. Another great dish is the Sleeping Bag - polenta with spinach wrapped
vegetables topped with a marinara sauce. Highly recommended for alternative vegetarian cuisine. |
| Rapscallion Seafood |
Reno's number one seafood restaurant with mysterious elegance... |
EJ's Jazz Cafe 324-9900 17 South Virginia Street
 |
One of Reno's most unique dining experiences with spicy Cajun food on the Truckee River within a short walk or taxi from the downtown Reno
hotel-casinos. Live music nightly and outdoor dining in the summer. Recommended although service can be spotty... |
Louis Basque Corner 323-7203 301 East Fourth Street |
Reno's most popular Basque restaurant, located under one mile east of the downtown Reno hotels. |
Santa Fe "Hotel" Restaurant 323-1891 235 Lake Street near Harrah's Hotel |
Nestled below the girth of Harrah's - the Santa Fe restaurant is a Reno Basque institution. Family style food with a unique style from the old
country. Don't miss the dried cheese for dessert! This building is very historic and unique for Reno. |

1950's diner at the Grand Sierra Resort . |
