Reno Recommendations Requested

Dave Feldman | Feb 29, 201610:09 PM 4
Southwest Indian Breakfast Reno Trip Planning

In a couple of weeks, thousands of bridge players will descend upon downtown Reno (Silver Legacy/Circus Circus) for the national bridge tournament. Unfortunately, I won't be able to come. But some friends have asked me to ask for help. Players will have to eat early dinners for the most part (or very late ones). Some specific questions. We'd be interested in any price level and all cuisines. A few specific questions:

1. Any favorites downtown, especially ones walking distance from the hotels.

2. Any places with good breakfasts downtown (need not be fancy)

3. Any Indian recommendations, especially southern Indian anywhere in the Reno area?

4. What are some places that are quintessentially Reno?

Any help much appreciated.

    My favorite restaurant in the hotel zone is Heritage, by star chef Mark Estee in the Whitney Peak Hotel. Other places I like are Campo, also by Estee, Brasserie St. James, Crawfish Asian, Centro, and La Vecchia.

      Hi,

      The casinos have happy hours - I like the one at
      http://www.silverlegacyreno.com/dinin...
      didn't care for
      https://www.circusreno.com/restaurant...

      as does Silver Peak (and a nice patio for warmer weather)

      I believe some casino steak houses have early bird specials.

      1 more Mexican rec is right across the street, near the McDonald's on Virginia. It's simple, "divey" decor but good food:

      Know of no S. Indian places - most popular is India Kabab
      http://www.indiakababcurry.com/
      which is a moderate walk down S. Virginia

      and haven't tried this Asian place - right behind the bridge tourney locale:
      http://goldenflowerreno.com/menu/

      El Adobe, near the ballpark, is a bit of a walk - decent Mexican

      Noble Pie Parlor - nice pizza. On a bit of a gritty street (for some) -not sure every tourist would feel comfortable walking there. Hard to predict everyone's comfort level!

      P.S. Peg's is very popular for breakfast/lunch
      http://www.yelp.com/biz/pegs-glorifie...

      and the casinos have decently priced breakfast buffets - my family likes all El Dorado buffets
