French bistro opens in Truckee

Tangerine

Tangerine, a classic French bistro, will open in downtown Truckee on Oct. 11.

“Tangerine Bistro will transport diners to a realm of gastronomic delight, reminiscent of a classic French Bistro, drawing inspiration from restaurants found throughout Paris and New York,” said Brandon Kirksey, co-founder and executive chief of Great Gold Hospitality Group in an email. The name stems from Led Zeppelin song of the same name, he wrote.

Tangerine Bistro will offer an array of traditional French dishes including duck foie paté with blackberry jam, French onion soup with sherry and gruyere, cassoulet with duck confit, pork shoulder and tarbais beans, and a 24 oz. cote de boeuf steak frites, he said. Tangerine’s wine program will focus exclusively on wines from France and local wines made by those that specialize in using grape varieties that originate from France.

Tangerine is located at 10412 Donner Pass Road. | (530) 386-8594
