Fresh seafood, steaks, poultry, and pasta are served in this elegant restaurant that's one of southwest Montana's finest eateries. Try the scallops Provençal, sauteed with tomatoes, feta cheese,and garlic. A cafeteria-style lunch is served from 11 to 1. A rotating exhibit of paintings by local artists lines the walls.
Within a historic log lodge and bar, this restaurant is known for its dinners of seafood, wild game, and hand-cut Montana steaks.
This bistro-style restaurant is a pleasant surprise in an area with numerous steak houses. Among the specials are Thai curry salmon, wild game chili, and duck ramen.
Feast is one of only a handful of restaurants in Montana serving up a daily dose of ceviche, bison carpaccio, and other raw bar specialties. Crabs, shrimp, oysters, scallops: if a fisherman can catch it, Feast serves it. For the meat lover, there is a burger with pancetta, bison tenderloin skewers, and Vietnamese chicken wings. As many of the ingredients as possible are seasonal and sourced locally from purveyors committed to sustainable farming and ranching. Visit during happy hour (5 to 6 everyday) for $1 off oysters on the half-shell, and $1 off tap beer and tap wine.
Fine dining in Big Sky doesn't get any finer than here, where shareable feasts include the splurge-worthy tomahawk bone-in rib eye and braised bison short ribs. Mains include everything from veal schnitzel to vegan enchiladas. Also open for breakfast and lunch.
Get a true taste of Montana during this all-you-can-eat prime-rib dinner, which follows a horse-drawn wagon ride through high mountain forest. The private forested plot feels like backcountry. And the generous meal, served family-style in an oversized tepee, includes hot-from-the-oven rolls, salads, potatoes du jour, and huckleberry cheesecake, all accompanied by a singing cowboy.
For a unique dining experience, rendezvous upstairs in the Snowcrest building in Mountain Village to ride a snowcat into the pristine land of Big Sky for a meal under the stars. While the chef prepares French onion soup, filet mignon, garlic mashed potatoes, and chocolate fondue with fresh fruit and pound cake, you can sled on hills under the light of the moon or relax around a bonfire. Alcohol is not available for purchase, so feel free to bring your own.
Don't be fooled by its name: The Grill at Sage Lodge is a high-end contemporary steak house where you come for the food but stay for the view (or vice versa). Steaks are all grass-fed and range from a 16-ounce oxtail to a 32-ounce Porterhouse that will set you back a pretty penny. Other typical, yet elevated, entrées include a dry-cured half duck, sous vide lamb saddle, and black truffle and lentil risotto. Make reservations in advance, especially on the weekends when locals splurge for dinner here.
There are no Michelin star-rated restaurants in Montana, but this place comes close. With creative specialties like northern Thai bison larb, adobo-cured Kurobuta pork chop, and for dessert Oaxacan chocolate truffle, your taste buds won't be disappointed. You can dine on the outdoor patio in the summer. The restaurant is located in the Yellowstone Valley Lodge, offering riverfront luxury cabin rentals just south of Livingston.
