Olympic Valley, Truckee & Tahoe City Guidebook
Food and Fun
Iconic location on the Truckee River. This place is not only a fun atmosphere but the food is really good! Make reservations in advance, especially during busy seasons. During the rafting season, the rafting companies let out at the “The Ranch”. Fun place to gather after a day on the river!

Food scene
Good deli and cafe. They have a casual deck overlooking the river. It is nothing fancy but if you're looking for a quick lunch, picnic items or breakfast this is convenient, tasty and very close to the house. You could walk on the bike trail (1 mile).

Special restaurant that is always consistent. Make reservations IN ADVANCE, especially during summer months. Request the deck. Inside is small but every table has a view. They also have the “Sand Bar” below the restaurant during the summer season. Casual vibe, live music, limited menu but sitting on the lake is beautiful. They don’t take reservations at the Sand Bar.
