Louis' Basque Corner is easily one of the best Basque restaurants in the US, and for great reason--it was founded by immigrants from the Basque Country, and I was taken right back to San Sebastian when I enjoyed the food here. Basque food is all about marrying simplicity in cooking/preparation with a high quality of ingredients, and the crew at Louis' gets this well. It's not everywhere you can get fries smothered in sweetbreads with red wine, but even their regular fries are perfectly executed. This is the dining gem of downtown Reno, and long may it shine!

Great dining experience. I hope you bring an appetite cause they give you so many courses. And the drink was also super good. Plenty of hospitality from the staff and the atmosphere was casual in the same way the house of prime rib is. You can dress nice or not and you will fit in.

A Reno classic. Sat at the bar for a Picon Punch. Ended up with 2 more. Haven't been back to Reno in a decade so glad this place has survived.

We were lucky to get reservations but were told we had to be out by 7:15 and were rushed by the servers (who were nice about it) even though there were 3 large empty tables that no one sat at for the entire service. Otherwise the food was pretty good, salmon special was off the charts. Steaks both came med rare even though we asked for one med well, prime rib was okay. Expensive price for what was served in my opinion, but this place is an institution in this town.

Great food served family style. The lamb was perfectly cooked and we had a great time. This is not a place to take vegetarians as other than a few options in the sides it is meat, meat and more meat. But the food is so good.Parking: Parking can be difficult on a Saturday.

Love coming here but you better come hungry. Everything I've had was really good the two times I've been here.
A staple of Reno. Not good for business meetings.
