The Firesign Cafe is another tradition when we visit Tahoe. We always go there on Sunday morning before we leave town. It is a cozy cabin, with a fireplace and a large deck (open when its warm enough). The menu is huge and it is always a hard decision. The Firesign always has daily specials, a special baked good of the day, and the best hollandaise this side of the United States.
The Firesign crepes are a family favorite--$6.75 for a full order or $5.25 for a half, they are two eggs scrambled with sautéed mushrooms, green onions, and jack cheese, wrapped in two crepes and topped with Hollandaise sauce. Served with home-fried potatoes. Or try the blueberry waffles topped with blue-raspberry sauce for $4.75. Lunch is also great. Try the tostada for $6.75; it comes with fried corn tortillas, topped with homemade pinto or black beans, ranchero sauce, shredded lettuce, jack cheese, tomatoes, olives, avocado, and sour cream. Served with a basket of chips and salsa. Add grilled chicken for $1.50.
Any way you order it, you will not be sorry. The food is so good, and the price is always right on!
