Moody's Bistro and Lounge


An excellent place to dine out in Truckee is Moody's Bistro and Lounge, which prides itself on using local produce. Located in this historic Truckee Hotel, which dates from the early years of the 19th century, Moody's offers both fine food and entertainment, with a particular emphasis on a true American music form: jazz. Musical acts that tour the country and receive critical acclaim sometimes frequent Moody's to provide a lovely musical ambiance in the heart of Truckee.

The motto of the restaurant is "Fresh. Seasonal. Simple. Local." This approach to food is reflected in everything from the menu to the preparation of food here. The executive chef, Mark Estee, works with not just local farmers but also with ranchers and fishermen in the area to make sure that meals are made up of foods as fresh and local as possible.

Specialties of the house include roasted organic beets served with cheese crumbles and olive oil, Ahi tuna served four ways, and steak fries served with barnaise peppercorn sauce as well as the 'big ass pork platter', which is prepared differently on different days of the week.
