Bontaful Gardens Cafe - Blairsden

We had two great salads, salmon tacos, and fried potatoes. All were delicious. We actually arrived just at closing time but they were very generous and stayed to feed us. The food is original and mostly organic. Make sure to check times before going.

After the fabulous Wright This Way Elite Event, we checked out of our amazing villa and headed back into Graeagle to scope out the breakfast options. Our trusty Yelp app told us that Bontaful Gardens had good reviews, was close, and served breakfast. SOLD. There's picnic tables in the lawn leading to the restaurant (that looks like maybe it was converted from a house), a few tables on the patio, and of course, seating inside. We chose to sit outside so we could chat with a couple of other Yelpers (Sarah R and Drew R) who were already on the patio we arrived. **** Mary's were in order (especially after the night before) these were solid, although I typically like mine spicier. The menu includes some different variations on Eggs Benedict I chose the carne asada benedict (english muffin topped with carne asada, eggs, and cilantro hollandaise served with potatoes). The meat was really tender and I loved the creative take. Although, I think it was a bit of a stretch to deem the sauce as hollandaise The BF ordered a basic breakfast bacon, eggs, toast, and potatoes. It sounds like a lot, but it was a pretty small serving and nothing special. The hot sauce that they have on hand is made locally. It's not too hot, but has really great flavor. We've already been searching around Reno for it to add to our ridiculous collection of hot sauces. Prices are kind of high, but they can probably get away with it since it's such a small town and there aren't a lot of options. Overall, a solid choice for breakfast/brunch.

Bontaful Gardens made our weekend! We came up for a yoga retreat and ate almost every meal at this sweet establishment. The food was healthy and delicious. The Caesar salad is simple but very tasty, dare I say compelling? I have eaten too many in my lifetime, but I had one at every meal. The Carne Asada Eggs Benedict with Cilantro Hollandaise and roasted green peppers was wonderfully unique. The skirt steak salad was so fresh and tasty but it was also beautiful. This is a cafe that feels like you are eating at the home of one who loves you. The owner, Janet is a delight! This place is simple, but it will not disappoint!

I stopped here for breakfast on my way home last week after camping several nights in the Lakes Basin area and was extremely happy with my find. As others have said, the owner Janet is very welcoming, friendly and accommodating (I got there late and though they were serving lunch Janet made me breakfast I had the very delicious veggie hash. The coffee was even good (not easy to come by). Based on my experience as well as the comments others have made I look forward to trying other things on her menu in the hopefully not too distant future. This is a great little restaurant in a really beautiful part of the state so be sure to check this place out if you're in the area.

I am giving Bontaful Gardens 5 stars because it is far better than any other restaurant I have dined at in the area. After a disappointing experience at Graeagle restaurant the day before, I was simply looking for a place that served high-quality ingredients and well-seasoned food for breakfast. Bontaful Gardens exceeded my expectations. My girlfriend enjoyed the waffles, and I had the Mountain Breakfast, both of which were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The potatoes were delicious, the coffee was flavorful, and the service was excellent. I left feeling very satisfied and will definitely return!
