Himmel Haus

Himmel Haus is a German restaurant and bierhaus in South Lake Tahoe that reinterprets Bavarian traditions through a contemporary California sensibility. The drinks list spans German and Belgian styles – from Weihenstephan and Paulaner to Delirium Tremens, Trappist ales and lambics – with biers poured in their respective glassware and a beer flight for tasting. The menu is concise and direct, with Haus-made pretzels served with a three-cheese mustard fondue and bacon-onion jam, twice-fried Belgian frites with curry ketchup, haus-made spätzle and a cheese spätzle with smoked gouda and pretzel crumbs. Sausage plates, currywurst with Haus salad and classics such as schnitzel, sauerbraten and schweinshaxe reflect an approach that honors German technique while adapting flavors and ingredients to its setting.
