The Best Restaurants and Bars in Reno, Nevada | Eater Vegas

"This charming restaurant offers compelling French cuisine, but could get by on atmosphere alone. Beaujolais Bistro occupies part of a vintage brick building in a tree-lined corner of the Powning District near the Truckee River. When the weather’s right, it’s not uncommon to bring tables out to the front yard for what feels like a dinner party under the stars. On the other hand, large groups may prefer the privacy of a table in the moody, ambient wine cellar. Chef and owner Bill Gilbert taps into his French-Canadian heritage for inspired versions of familiar favorites like escargot and French onion soup, but also plays around with intriguing specials like the occasional Cassoulet or braised lamb with Moroccan spices. The wine selection is one of the best in Reno, with a dedicated list of Burgundy varieties at various price points — although a few Napa Valley bottles are on standby." - Rob Kachelriess
