    Eating in the valley

    Mission Valley eating is roadside diners, lakeside taprooms, coffee roasters on Main Street, and the handful of restaurants worth driving thirty minutes for. There’s no fine-dining scene here; the good places lean small, family-run, and seasonal.

    Hours vary wildly by season. Most lake-economy places open May through October. Call ahead in shoulder season.
