  • 1. Faye's Cafe

    $$

    The collaborative chef's choice concept at this cute artsy café is unique to say the least. Instead of a traditional menu, diners pick adjectives and nouns that speak to them off a chalkboard with dozens of words. Chef Sarah Faye uses them to whip up a creative, customized breakfast for the first 30 patrons of the day, so come early (they open at 8 am).

  • 2. Gil's Goods

    $$

    Although it's most famous for its wood-fired pizza (made with 36-hour naturally fermented dough), Gil's Goods also serves salads, burgers, and sandwiches, including a Nashville hot chicken special. It also boasts a full bar and pretty extensive beer and wine list for a casual establishment.

    207 W. Park St., Livingston, Montana, 59047, USA

  • 3. Montana's Rib & Chop House

    $$$

    Here, in the middle of cattle country, you can expect the juiciest, tenderest steaks—such as the hand-cut rib eye—all made from certified Angus beef. Jambalaya, salmon, and baby back ribs marinated for 24 hours are also on the menu. It's a small chain, but a local one in Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado.

    305 E. Park St., Livingston, Montana, 59047, USA
    406-222–9200

  • 4. The Grill at Sage Lodge

    $$$$

    Don't be fooled by its name: The Grill at Sage Lodge is a high-end contemporary steak house where you come for the food but stay for the view (or vice versa). Steaks are all grass-fed and range from a 16-ounce oxtail to a 32-ounce Porterhouse that will set you back a pretty penny. Other typical, yet elevated, entrées include a dry-cured half duck, sous vide lamb saddle, and black truffle and lentil risotto. Make reservations in advance, especially on the weekends when locals splurge for dinner here.

    • Being quite pricey
    • A special five-course chef's choice menu

  • 5. Yellowstone Valley Grill

    $$$$

    There are no Michelin star-rated restaurants in Montana, but this place comes close. With creative specialties like northern Thai bison larb, adobo-cured Kurobuta pork chop, and for dessert Oaxacan chocolate truffle, your taste buds won't be disappointed. You can dine on the outdoor patio in the summer. The restaurant is located in the Yellowstone Valley Lodge, offering riverfront luxury cabin rentals just south of Livingston.
