Moody’s Bistro & Bar is a high end Mountain comfort food restaurant in downtown Truckee. Local, organic, seasonal focus or as they tell it – Moody’s food philosophy is “fresh, local, seasonal and simple”. Chef de Cuisine is Guy Frenette. The Restaurant opened in 2006. Moody’s has live music on some nights, so call ahead. Our last visit was during a trip to the mountains in 2023. Other places nearby to try : Great Gold Truckee Cottonwood, Truckee Decor, Vibe – Moody’s is housed in an old Truckee Hotel building with Mountain decor, lots of dark wood, bar in front with booths and attached lounge area, main dining room, old pictures, pots hanging by the kitchen. Most folks coming up to ski/board, and some locals, mostly in their 30’s to 50’s. Pretty packed. They recently adjusted the room to make it more casual. Moody’s Restaurant Menu (Click to zoom into any picture) You can each cheaply at Moody’s with a burger or pizza, or you can live it up. We believe the time to save money is at home! Prices in 2023 are up $42-55 for mains. Expensive. Menu change all the time. Starters, House made Charcuterie and Offal, Soups, […]

They serve breakfast the hotel guests, lunch and dinner to all. A more informal bar right outside the cafe, also serves food. We were in the area and decided to drop in for a quick bite to eat. Cuisine – American Chef – Ben “Wyatt” Dufresne Location – Squaw Valley ski resort Opened – 1997 Decor, Vibe – PlumpJack Cafe is a small restaurant with upscale decor and lots of windows looking out at the snow-covered surroundings. The restaurant and bar were packed with hungry skiers and snowboarders. Lots of affluent families were dining here. Menu PlumpJack Cafe menu changes seasonally, based on regional influences, indigenous flavors and locally-farmed ingredients. Signature Dishes – Seafood cones Website Menu Full PlumpJack Cafe image set Picks: Excellent homemade hot bread. Hot rum punch ($10) sounded like a perfect drink on a cold winters night.
