The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe's signature restaurant, Manzanita is newly decorated and offers expansive views of the mountain face. Executive Chef Chris Bean and Chef de Cuisine Edgar Palau present seasonal menus featuring regionally sourced produce, meats, and seafood. You will find hints of Chef Edgar’s heritage in various sauces and moles. A must-try is the Double Cut Heritage Pork Chop with “chichilo” black mole, peach purée and rainbow chard, or the Alaskan Halibut with pipian mole, summer squash and pickled onion.New this winter, the restaurant invites guests to warm up during lunchtime with The Noodle Bar, a handcrafted ramen experience offered now through March. The limited-time concept features broths made fresh daily from organic whole chickens and aromatics, paired with fresh noodles delivered from Tin Wah Noodle Co., a beloved San Francisco institution and one of the city’s oldest noodle makers.
