Great place to eat fine cheese and charcuterie. Other salad and main dishes serve fresh ingredients that are tasty and reasonably priced. Make sure to call ahead for reservations as it’s a popular place. Highly recommended! Healthy options, stylish interior, creative cuisine, great food.

Dining in Carson Valley

Where you dine can define an entire trip: That place with the unforgettable burger. That scrumptious sandwich. The perfect cup of coffee. The steak that spoils all other steaks for the rest of time. It becomes the taste of your journey. In recent years, Carson Valley has seen an explosion of locally owned and operated establishments elevating the community’s culinary culture by simply turning back to the valley’s roots. When it comes time to eat during your stay, you won’t have to look far to find restaurateurs proudly at the top of their craft working with fresh ingredients grown close to home and housed in buildings with many years of stories to tell. What will your journey taste like?

''Visitors and locals alike who want to dive into Nevada's history on a full belly should consider beginning where it all started: Carson Valley. It's the oldest region in the state, which includes the first town ever established here in 1851. Holding true to its wild, western roots, the area has evolved into a prime hub for epicurean adventures. And with its proximity to Tahoe, it's the perfect place to get your calories back.'' Jane K. Callahan for EdibleRenoTahoe.com

At 1862 David Walley’s Restaurant and Saloon’s enjoy casual fine American dining that entertains your palette.

The Pink House offers a fine selection of artisan products, and features a seasonal lunch and dinner menu. @miavossonthego - A trip to #CarsonValley #Nevada needs to go on your list. For realsies, #WildMustangs, #basque dining, beautiful views, relaxing spas, a world-class #HeritageDistillery, #pastamaking, rich in history, Nevada’s oldest #ThirstParlor – there’s a lot to do and see. Bently Heritage Estate Distillery creates ultrapremium spirits from grains that have been grown on the Bently Ranch here in Minden.

Overland Restaurant & Pub is located in an old Basque hotel. The menu has a distinct smokehouse inspiration to it.

Minden Meat and Deli specializes in craft beer, tri-tip sandwiches, and made to order sandwiches.

A wonderful thing happens when the food and the actual food makers live near each other. The chefs, the beef, the pork, the berries... they're all neighbors. Even the distance between barley and barrel is closer than most folks' morning commute. This kind of proximity transforms a typical meat-'n-taters meal into a spirited outing of eating, imbibing and laughs. Looking for a different kind of foodie fling? Make plans to visit Carson Valley's legendary chefs, distillers, growers and resident critters this weekend.
