Provisions is a bistro located in the Groveland Hotel that works well whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite before heading into Yosemite or settling in for a longer meal. The breakfast menu features hot sandwiches, fresh baked goods, and yogurt parfaits—the kind of thing that actually sticks with you on a morning hike. For lunch, they do artisanal salads and sandwiches. If you’re grabbing snacks for the road, they stock cheese, crackers, beef jerky, trail mix, cookies, and fresh-made hummus, all of which pack easily into a daypack.

The dinner options are more involved. You might find something like chili honey glazed pork shank over lemongrass infused basmati rice or house-made gnocchi in goat cheese and wild mushroom sauce—the kind of cooking that makes you want to linger rather than rush. They have a full bar with local wine, craft beer, and specialty cocktails. If you want to pick up a bottle to take back to your hotel room or share at your campsite, they also sell wine and beer to go.

The beautiful leafy patio is where you’ll want to sit with your dog, giving you a pleasant place to eat without feeling rushed. It’s casual enough that you won’t feel out of place in hiking clothes, but the food quality suggests someone in the kitchen actually cares about what they’re making. Beyond the food and drinks, Provisions stocks a hand-selected collection of gift items—stainless steel wine glasses, t-shirts, chocolate, honey, lotions, and soaps—so if you forgot something or want a souvenir, you have options. Since it’s attached to the hotel, it’s easy to find right in downtown Groveland, making it a convenient stop whether you’re passing through or staying locally.
