2023’s Best Missoula Restaurants
Deliciously unexpected might be the best words we’ve seen used to describe Missoula restaurants – and it was said by Destination Missoula to describe the positively artful culinary scene you’ll find in this charming college town. Dining here is always enjoyable – often unexpectedly so – and ranges from quick food truck stops to exquisite fine dining establishments. With an emphasis on fresh and local, Missoula restaurants rarely disappoint even the pickiest of appetites.
Missoula restaurants offer excellent fuel for big mountain adventures, healthy options for those conscious of their New Year’s resolutions, and plenty of cozy, romantic spaces to enjoy a night out with your sweetheart. If the food scene here isn’t enough to celebrate, don’t miss the craft beverage scene – it’s positively delicious and often the perfect compliment to many of the city’s tastiest bites.
Below, we’ve compiled a list of our current ten favorite Missoula restaurants for your upcoming adventures in 2023.
- One of the many Missoula restaurants that continue to make our list year after year is Plonk – and it seems reviewers agree with us. This place is frequently touted as one of the best Missoula restaurants. It is our go-to for gourmet food and a romantic evening out – especially during the summer when you get to enjoy its gorgeous rooftop setting. Their cocktails are also fantastic.
- Though we’d consider this place one of Missoula’s hidden gems, we also highly recommend Scotty’s table for its focus on local produce and innovative flavors. It’s another fantastic place to celebrate special occasions – and even offers plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians.
- Second Set Bistro is all about the experience, as many of the best food experiences are. The menu items are frequently described as flavor explosions, and the community-centric vibe keeps this spot on our best list of Missoula restaurants.
- If a hearty steak is on your mind after a long hike or other adventure in Missoula, head to 1889 Missoula – which offers a delightful blend between modern and rustic. This is a great place to try bison, too!
- Sometimes, nothing pairs better than a great meal and a delicious, locally-crafted beer. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Tamarack Brewing Company.
- Pizza enthusiasts won’t want to miss Biga Pizza. The off-beat but mouthwatering combinations can’t be found elsewhere – further proof that great meals don’t need to be overly complicated!
- You may not think of Missoula as a great place to get B.B.Q., but you’d be wrong. One of the long-standing best Missoula restaurants, which also happens to serve up some of the best B.B.Q. we’ve ever tasted, is The Notorious P.I.G. They smoke their meats fresh every day, and it shows in the incredible flavors coming out of this unassuming restaurant in Missoula.
- Another great “quintessential Missoula” spot to grab some great food is the Montana Club. It’s truly a gem among Missoula restaurants and just so happens to offer some of the best cocktails in town.
- If you like to get off the beaten path and explore those gems that usually only locals know about, then don’t miss Rattlesnake Gardens Market & Cafe. It’s cozy, quaint, and casual but positively delicious – all the things we love about the best Missoula restaurants!
- For another fantastic fast-ish option with some delicious Brazilian flair, head to Five on Black. This is a great spot to dine if you want to craft something healthy yet delicious.
