The vibrancy of the Renaissance Cafe is palpable, especially during the bustling weekends. One visitor, Tyrel Johnson, noted, “The food produced here tastes good... If you are looking for a relaxing place to eat, don't come here,” perfectly illustrating the lively energy that envelops the cafe. Those passionate about skiing and boarding will find joy in the energetic atmosphere, filled with the sounds of clacking ski gear and laughter echoing off the walls.

The food produced here tastes good. This location was insanely busy on a holiday weekend. The staff was busy but still took time to answer question. The pleasentry of the situation help me stay calm in the chaos happening around. If you are looking for a relaxing place to eat, dont come here. If you as passionate about skiing, boarding and love the clacking noise of layer cold gear and boots, this place will be heaven for you.

The Renaissance Cafe is a quaint and quiet lodge during week days and serves as a lunch hotspot during the weekends with the featured food cart. Did I mention the little cafe has BEER and BOOZE?!?!

Love the renovation that they did here. Super great place for a brew break and a spot to avoid the crowds compared to the main lodge. If the Mazot wasn’t around I’d spend more time here. Stoked they got Pok Pok to set up a food cart, hopefully this is a trend that continues.

A small shop at Meadows to stop at before or after skiing. Coffee and hot drinks, sodas and cold drinks, snacks and sandwiches, and candies too.

This is a great little lodge on the way to the lowest chair. They have food and beer there if so inclined. Great place to stop at to get out of the elements and warm up and use the restroom.

It's small so it can be cramped and stuffy, but they have lockers in the bathrooms, snacks and drinks at the bar, and food trucks outside. This is the mini-lodge at the HRM lot of Mt. Hood Meadows.

Perfect spot to meet friends, siphon the python, or get a pre-ski latte. Best of all no crowds or territorial ski parents!
