  • 1. Bernice's Bakery

    $

    Buttery croissants, cookies, cupcakes, scones, quiches, muffins, and other glorious baked treats abound at Missoula's best bakery, a longtime local favorite. Come in for coffee seven days a week from 6 am to 8 pm or for lunch from 11 am to 4 pm, when there's a small selection of soups, salads, and sandwiches, such as roast beef and Swiss, or hummus on whole wheat with feta and artichoke hearts. There's seating inside and out, or you can eat alongside the nearby river.

  • 3. Le Petit Outre

    $

    Loosely translated, the name means "The Little Outrageous," which is fitting since the croissants, scones, brioches, canneles, and other sweet baked treats here are outrageously good. It also serves the best coffee in town. In addition to pastry, this longtime bakery sells artisan breads (think baguettes, ciabatta, rosemary foccaccia, and New York rye), gourmet mustards, salts, vinegars, and olive oils.

  • 4. Traditions Restaurant at the Bigfork Inn

    $$$

    The Swiss-chalet style of the Bigfork Inn is reminiscent of the lodges in nearby Glacier National Park. Inside, you'll find a lively atmosphere, with seating for more than 200 patrons between the main dining room, library, deck (summer), balcony, and two private rooms. Locals recommend the French onion soup, frog legs, duck à l'orange, and grilled bison tenderloin.
