There is no shortage of things to keep you moving in Reno, so it's important to have the proper fuel in your belly. If you're craving something sweet, swing by LiLi's and try their famous Luau Waffles, which are topped with macadamia nuts, sliced bananas, mangoes and a perfectly sweet mango-apricot sauce sprinkled with toasted coconut. If a hearty, savory breakfast is more your speed, Peg's Glorified Ham 'n Eggs serves up a huevos ranchero that will keep you full well into the day.
Savory Escapes
Experiment with the many amazing dining options that Reno has to offer. As said by Tammilee Tillison, “This city has turned into a foodie city offering unique dishes that are sure to tempt your taste buds.”
The Biggest Little City is filled with culinary experiences waiting to be discovered. Ever wanted to try bacon mac-n-cheese on a pizza? Stop by Great Basin Brewery and Restaurant to try the Mac Attack Pizza and pair it with a cold, locally-brewed beer. Campo is a local favorite that showcases local ingredients from farms and ranches across the region, creating an Italian experience that supports local business. The menu will surely have you drooling over their unique dishes that change daily, giving you a wide variety of choices. For a fancier option, try La Strada at the Eldorado where you can get incredibly delicious Italian food with a romantic, dim light atmosphere perfect for date night.
