2 Best Restaurants in Helena, Bozeman, and Southwest Montana, Montana

Colorful murals, high ceilings, and exposed air ducts create a mod-industrial ambience in this bustling downtown café that serves breakfast all day as well as a selection of tasty lunch items. Specialties include the crab cake Benedict and challah bread French toast stuffed with jam-infused mascarpone cheese.

This handsome bistro and cocktail lounge set in part of West Yellowstone's 1918 former school building is an inviting spot for drinks—there's an encyclopedic wine, craft beer, and cocktail list—and appetizers. But if you're seeking a more substantial meal, consider the flat-iron steak with chimichurri sauce or a burger topped with smoked bacon and huckleberry-chipotle jam.
