Part of Tahoe's history, this long-lived European restaurant still pleases patrons with robust German, French, and Swiss dishes. Options like roastbraten, Swiss bratwurst with red cabbage, and "hunter style" chicken breast have a decidedly Old World flair that permeates the entire menu. Fish, game, pork, and poultry arrive in a variety of tried-and-true preparations and speciality dishes like Chateaubriand and the Long Island Duckling Feast for two are wonderful for those special occasions. Dinner comes with soup and salad and hot French rolls. Appetizers like the Escargot "Bourguignon", Smoked Salmon and Bismark Herring Garnie all cost $11 and begin the meal with a bang.
The wine list is full of wines from France and Germany like Spätlese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Reisling, Pinot Noir and some excellent Merlot from Sonoma and Napa Valley.
