PlumpJack Cafe

PlumpJack Cafe Review

The best restaurant in the entire Tahoe Basin is the epitome of discreet chic and a must-visit for serious foodies. The menu changes seasonally, but look for roasted quail in an orange sauce, crispy sweetbreads, and butter-poached lobster tail. Rather than complicated, heavy sauces, the chef uses simple reductions to complement a dish. The result: clean, dynamic, bright flavors. The wine list is exceptional for its variety and reasonable prices. A less expensive but equally adventurous menu, including lunch, is served at the bar.
