Breakfast at the El Tovar Dining Room is a must for every guest. The Pecan Knots alone are worth the visit. They perfectly complement the hearty dishes like huevos rancheros or the Grand Canyon blueberry pancakes. Dinner offers equally delightful options, including elk steak and trout from the Grand Canyon's own waters.

The Great Breakfast Room and Veranda

For a more casual dining experience, guests can enjoy the Great Breakfast Room. This light-filled space offers buffet-style meals and à la carte options. The large windows wash the room with natural light, allowing you to enjoy views of the Canyon even while dining.
