Best Dining Bets

Ahwahnee Dining Room in Yosemite Valley: No surprise here -- it's a knockout feast. Every course is almost worth its weight in gold, which is about what it'll cost you, too.

Mountain Room Restaurant in Yosemite Valley: Some people like the Mountain Room even better than the top-rated Ahwahnee. Not only is the food here top-notch, but you also can't beat the views of Yosemite Falls.

Wawona Hotel Dining Room in Yosemite: Located outside the valley, this spacious restaurant is a favorite of locals for miles around. The excellent chef concocts delectable meals, and the views through the expanse of windows provide food for the soul.
