  • 1. Juliano's Restaurant

    $$$$

    Award-winning Hawaiian-born chef Carl Kurokawa's menu changes monthly, but you can count on fresh fish, often flown in the day before from Hawaii. Other offerings might include proscuitto-wrapped chicken marsala, and London broil made with local beef. Inspired by Pacific and European flavors, yet distinctly American, Carl's cooking is some of the best in the state. The intimate dining areas' decor is impressive, with a pressed tin ceiling in one room and painted scenes of a grape-carrying Bacchus in another. Situated behind a hedge on a residential street, and thus not easily spotted, the building was formerly a stable for the turn-of-the-20th-century sandstone mansion next door. In warm weather patio dining is a popular option.

  • 4. Black Dog Coffeehouse

    $

    This locally owned café is one of the only cafés in the state that allows dogs—all well-behaved dogs inside. The staff is friendly, the dogs are even friendlier, and the coffee, which is brewed in town at Stumptown Roasters, is superb. While there's no dog menu, yet, there's plenty of water, complimentary dog biscuits, and even a wall in the back where you can post a pic of your pup. The food options are limited (think pastries, sweets, and prepared sandwiches), but it's the perfect place to get the perfect pour over.

    • The cute boutique next door (same owner)
  • 5. Ciao Mambo

    $$

    For hand-tossed pizza and homemade pastas in Billings, it doesn't get any more authentic than at Ciao Mambo. This Montana chain, which also has locations in Whitefish and Missoula specializes in "immigrant-style Italian cuisine." For your antipasti course, try their famous tootsie rolls: egg wrappers stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese, mozzarella, and pesto. And considering splitting your main so you have room for their equally famous cannoli di bacche: cannoli dipped in chocolate ganache and drizzled with huckleberry.

  • 6. Walkers

    $$$

    Situated downtown near the Alberta Bair Theater, this prime people-watching restaurant has a loyal dinner following, understandable considering its casual yet elegant decor, pleasant, attentive service, and such entrées as buttermilk fried chicken, Alaska king salmon, apple-brined pork shank, and made-from-scratch pastas. Walkers also has an upscale bar scene, attracted, in part, by a tempting selection of craft cocktails served by bartenders so hip they look like they belong in Brooklyn. This is where politicians (such as President Bill Clinton), celebrities and other famous folks dine when they're in town.
