Fodor's Expert Review Benny's Bistro
$$$
Helena
Contemporary
The art deco–inspired interior, often filled with live jazz music, is a hallmark of this small but spacious restaurant, which started out serving comfort food but has branched into tapas and more exotic, internationally influenced but locally sourced fare. Favorites include the creamy tomato soup with fresh rosemary and the apple-tizer: black pepper feta and Flathead Lake apples drizzled with Montana honey. Look for menus items like lentil burger bowls, bistro steak frites, and rainbow trout served with saffron gnocchi.
