A casual, plank-floored, all-natural deli serving breakfast and lunch, Mountain High may well be the only place in Tahoe to find coconut chia seed pudding and similar delicacies. More familiar fare—biscuits and gravy (sausage or veggie) for breakfast, house-smoked tri-tip sandwiches (also tofu barbecue) for lunch—is also on the menu.
The multilevel outdoor deck of this order-at-the-counter restaurant cradled in a hillside below the Ponderosa Ranch from TV's Bonanza entices weary East Shore hikers and bikers with filling fare fit for a ranch hand. Along with breakfast standards, there's a "power bowl" of eggs, avocado, cheese, and black beans—salads, sandwiches (including a tasty turkey club), and burgers appear for lunch.
