Restaurants in Big Bear Lake

  1. Grizzly Manor Cafe

    You'll feel like you're part of a backwoods sitcom at this buzzy locals' hangout, about a quarter mile east of the village, where the breakfasts are bear-sized, the staff irreverent, the walls covered with whacky stickers and the prices small.

  2. Old Country Inn

    This place puts the accent on hearty American and German fare, although there's plenty of seafood to accommodate noncarnivores. You'll be dining under the mournful eyes of mounted stags and elk. Good breakfasts, too.

  3. Sonora Cantina

    Next door to Old Country Inn, this restaurant brings the cheerful aesthetics of Mexico to the mountains and serves gussied-up staples (burritos and tacos) plus great fajitas and tequila lime chicken.

    The village's best eatery puts clever, globally inspired spins on pasta and grilled foods in a setting that combines antler chandeliers with hip black tablecloths without looking ridiculous.
