Either come when you are really hungry or plan to make 3 consecutive trips, because you must try the Huevos Rancheros, the Bananas Foster Waffles and the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. No, seriously. You have to.
Midtown EatsYelp: 4 stars – 274 reviews To say that Midtown Eats has the best sweet potato fries in the universe might be pushing it.

Oh, and the bar is better stocked than most liquor stores, so order yourself a cocktail while you’re there.

Sushi MinatoYelp: 4.5 stars – 88 reviews The quail egg shooters and salmon at Sushi Minato are some of the best items on the menu. Which is saying something, since the menu is filled with the best that Japanese cuisine has to offer. The spicy tuna and minato rolls are easy favorites.

Add some hot sake to the meal and finish up with a refreshing scoop of green tea ice cream, and Minato will quickly become your favorite sushi bar.
The Daily BagelYelp: 4.5 stars – 113 reviews Once I visited a country where they didn’t have bagels. It was a very hard time in my life. Thankfully, my memories of those dark days are easily erased when I go to The Daily Bagel. A cup of locally roasted gourmet coffee and a toasted cheddar jalapeño bagel with turkey and bacon will guarantee the best day you’ve had in a while.
4th St. BistroYelp: 4.5 stars – 126 reviews The 4th St. Bistro doesn’t need to be open for breakfast or lunch–it does just fine with dinner. They use top-shelf organic ingredients to create culinary masterpieces like their Braised Pork Belly appetizer, Kale Caesar Salad, and Durham Ranch Bison Short Ribs. And the fall season Pumpkin Crème Brûlée will instantly become your reason for living. Did I mention all their grass-fed meat comes from friendly local farmers? So the only thing you have to feel guilty about is the calories.
The Stone House CafeYelp: 3.5 stars – 232 reviews It’s not just the outdoor dining that’s magical at The Stone House Cafe. Their menu is packed with just about anything you might be craving.

Thai LotusYelp: 4.5 stars – 142 reviews Don’t let the modest appearance fool you; this hole-in-the-wall treasure is well worth a visit. Order the Thai Street Noodles and you’ll get a hefty helping of tender beef, crunchy bean sprouts, crispy tofu and jalapeños that will make your mouth sing.

101 Taiwanese CuisineYelp: 4 stars – 204 reviews If you’ve never had Taiwanese food before, then you are seriously missing out. It’s one of the lesser-known Asian cuisines, but for no other reason than blissful American ignorance. This place has all the basics you need to educate yourself. The typical beef noodle soup, stinky tofu, green onion pancakes, and red bean slush are as authentic as they are delicious. In order to fully embrace the experience, order a milk tea with bobas.
The Gas Lamp Restaurant & BarYelp: 4 stars – 157 reviews The Gas Lamp Restaurant & Bar is one of the better restaurants in Reno that’s not associated with a Casino. The steaks are thick and juicy, the ice cream is homemade, and spicy garlic fries will tantalize your taste buds. If you make it in for Happy Hour you’ll be treated to half-price cocktails and appetizers. Seafood lovers should definitely order the smoked salmon carpaccio and the steamed clams.
