We will be in South Lake Tahoe for Christmas and are hoping there is a charming old wood or stone restaurant that also has good food. Hopefully it would be open on Christmas day, but we would go another time if not. Ideas?

topping for suze...........

South Lake Tahoe....

I know what you mean looking for that old Tahoe look.

I don't know about south lake Tahoe maybe the Beacon Bar and Grill at Camp Richardson would do it for you:

Maybe Nepheles:

Others that I can think of are on the west and north:

West shore cafe, sunnyside resort,
christy hill, Lone Eagle Grille at the Hyatt in Incline Village.

I was thinking of Soule Domaine or Lone Eagle Grille, but they are both 25 min. away on the north shore, at Incline Village, or Crystal Bay.

Still worth a drive for special atmosphere.

Soule Domaine sounds exactly like what you are looking for, but it is on the North Shore.

Cafe Fiore is very charming, it is an Italian restaurant with fantastic food and ambiance. Evan's Gourmet Cafe is also very, very good with lots of charm, no wood stove here, tho. ***kim***

Evans isn't open on Christmas.

OOps hit the reply button too soon. Cafe Fiore is open on Christmas Eve and Christams Day. You'd want to make reservations early as there are only 7 tables indoors.

This is an utterly romantic restaurant.

Suzie, you make me sorry we didn't take that trip to Tahoe while we were in the "area" lol...You would be the first person I would ask for advice though...if I ever get to take that trip

Oh yeah, Scarlett, I would love to have helped you out with a visit to Tahoe.

And the list of places I could ask you about is as long as my arm!!!

There are people who live in places and then there are people who LIVE in places! Fortunately for us here at Foders we've got you who really LIVES!!
