The Biggest Little Food City in the World
Reno has transformed from a casino buffet town into a legitimate food destination, powered by the Basque culinary traditions that make it unique in America. The city's proximity to Lake Tahoe and California farm country provides exceptional ingredients for a growing independent restaurant scene.
Best times to dine: Happy hour runs 4-6pm. Ski season brings crowds from Tahoe for dinner. Summer events fill downtown.
Reno's most distinctive culinary feature is its Basque dining heritage - family-style Basque restaurants serve multi-course meals that are found almost nowhere else in the US. Beyond Basque food, the Midtown district has become a dining hotspot with creative restaurants and craft cocktail bars, while the casino restaurants continue to offer solid value.
