The
Pfeifer House is one of the oldest restaurants at Lake Tahoe. It is also one
of its finest. It was established in 1939 as the Lake Inn and it became known
as the Pfeifer House in 1954 when Hermann Schaeffer and Lois Pfeifer
purchased the restaurant.
In 1972, Franz Fassbender, a culinary Gold Medal winner, bought the well
known dinner house - a Tahoe landmark! He started as a young chef in Germany
and came to the United States in the early 1960's.
Today, he has successfully instilled the culinary traditions of Old World
charm and atmosphere. Franz prepares all their food fresh daily to provide
special treats for everyone.
The Pfeifer House is unique
and very popular for both families and banquets (with facilities up to 45
persons).
It was the site of the 1982 movie "Forbidden Love" with Yvette Mimieux and
Andrew Stevens.
Located 1/4 mile north of the Tahoe City "Y" on Highway 89, 10 minutes
from Alpine Meadows and
