Yosemite National Park Restaurants

  1. Ahwahnee Dining Room

    The formal ambience (mind your manners) may not be for everybody, but few would not be awed by the sumptuous decor, soaring beamed ceiling and palatial chandeliers. The menu is constantly in flux, but most dishes have perfect pitch and are beautifully presented. There's a dress code at dinner, but otherwise shorts and sneakers are OK. Sunday brunch is amazing.

  3. Curry Village Dining Pavilion

    The all-you-can-eat breakfast and dinner buffets are great for families, gluttons and the undecided, although the cafeteria-style setting has all the charm of a train-station waiting room.

  4. Curry Village Pizza Patio

    Enjoy views of Half Dome (OK, through the foliage) and tasty pizza at this buzzing eatery that turns into a chatty après-hike hangout in the late afternoon. Try one of its bird bath-sized margaritas - if you dare.

  9. Mountain Room

    The chefs at the lodge's casual-elegant dining room produce some of the best meals in the park, but your sesame-encrusted ahi (tuna) or filet mignon will likely be competing for your attention with the stunning views of Yosemite Falls. Reservations recommended.

  11. Wawona Hotel Dining Room

    This venerable dining room is a great spot for a repast. Breakfast might be French toast, lunch a fresh sandwich or salad, but it's dinnertime when the chef's talents truly shine. The flatiron steak is a signature dish. On summer Saturdays, the delicious lawn barbecue is the place to be. For snacks, head to the golf shop.
