Nova Cafe

A downtown classic, Nova Cafe serves up the breakfast you’ll remember. They use as many local ingredients as possible, with java locally roasted at neighborhood coffee spot Rockford Coffee. Keep it classic with all the usual favorites, including bacon, eggs, and waffles. Or spice it up when you order from their vegan menu, filled with delicious takes on breakfast staples, free of animal products.

Farmer’s Daughters Cafe

For the healthiest helpings and diet-inclusive options—vegan, gluten-free, keto, you’ll find it here—the Farmer’s Daughters Cafe is the spot. This cafe is a love letter to the flavors of Grandma’s kitchen, with a healthier twist. Breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon pick-me-up with smoothies and other nibbles will fuel you and fill you up.

Wild Crumb

Baked goods that will save you a trip to pastry hubs in Europe: that’s Wild Crumb. Local suppliers flesh out the Montana flavors in these classic pastries. From croissants and scones to tarts, breads, and handmade sandwiches, not to mention locally roasted coffee, breakfast and brunch are covered here.

Blackbird

Find pasta, wood-fired pizza, fresh salads, and the high ceiling, brick-walled ambiance that a historic space in downtown Bozeman commands, served up at Blackbird. Vino and brews flesh out the happy hour, while a flavorful Italian menu makes dinner a dish.

Roost Fried Chicken

The South makes an appearance in Bozeman’s cuisine scene with Roost Fried Chicken. There’s a reason they were featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. And that’s found in the seasoned fried chicken, collard greens, and biscuits, among other favorite menu items.

Dave’s Sushi

Landlocked Montana might not be the first place you think of when planning your sushi dinner. But Dave’s Sushi serves up fresh rolls with a surfer dude atmosphere that will definitely change your mind. Since 2003, they’ve been voted Bozeman’s best sushi, and the fresh fish delivered daily, along with the laid-back atmosphere, probably has something to do with it.

MAP Brewing Company

There are a wealth of local breweries to choose from in Bozeman, and any among them is worth a stop. MAP Brewing sets itself apart with a menu that bursts free of just beer with tasty pub fare, including burgers created in partnership with Yellowstone Grassfed Beef. And their wide-open patio with broad views of the Bridger Mountain Range gives MAP an inspiring backdrop of the outdoors.

Bridger Brewing

With gluten-reduced brews and their tasty pizzas on the menu, Bridger Brewing is another worthy food stop, even if you’re not a beer fan. Bison pepperoni, lamb sausage, and caramelized onion jam: need we say more?
