At Restaurants in Reno
If you plan to only eat out in Reno for only one meal (not a move we recommend BTW – there are simply too many good places), make sure it’s breakfast. Many locals and visitors to the city claim that you’ll find some of the world’s best breakfasts in Reno, and you better believe that the restaurants here don’t play around when it comes to the most important meal of the day. Classic diners color the dining scene, and while they have every meal of the day covered, they won’t let you down with big breakfasts of eggs, meats and griddled delights. Other breakfast places in Reno are known as morning hangouts, serving up anything from sit-down platters of toast and bacon to craft coffee shops with elegant European pastries. Try a few different spots to decide where you think serves the best breakfast in Reno.
