The Top 5 High-Class Yet Affordable Places Where You Can Dine In Bozeman

Just like any other city in the United States, Bozeman has numerous upmarket restaurants that serve pleasant food and drinks. While many of these eateries can cost an arm and a leg, it comes as no surprise that some remain ridiculously affordable despite the class. Wondering which restaurants those are? Fair enough, here are five restaurants I thought you should know:

Montana Ale Works

Montana Ale Works is one of the best high-class yet affordable restaurants in Bozeman. The 4.6-star eatery is located at 611 E Main St, Bozeman, MT, United States. That is not to mention that it's open daily from 4-10 pm. A wide range of mouthwatering and well-prepared delicacies are served here. These include Caribbean dishes, Spanish dishes, salads, trout, steaks, bison burgers, bison potstickers, baked pasta dishes, and sandwiches. Ale Works serves the best burgers in town, at least according to customer feedback.

Customers can choose either dine-in, delivery, or curbside pickup service options. The third option allows you to order and collect your order(s) from a local store partnering with the hotel.

Montana Ale Works is also an affordable place to drink beer. There are Happy Hour specials daily from 4-6 pm. During these hours, you and your friends can get to enjoy a range of beer selections for less.

Feast Raw Bar & Bistro

Feast Raw Bar & Bistro is situated at 270 W Kagy Blvd Ste C, Bozeman, MT 59715, United States. Open from 5-9 pm daily, this upscale restaurant serves delicious seafood dishes, raw snacks, plus cocktails.

Here's where you'll get the chance to enjoy a well-prepared ceviche(a South American delicacy consisting of seafood or marinated raw fish), raw oyster, bison carpaccio, or poached shrimp. They also serve Vietnamese chicken wings, chickpea Panelles, French fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, and steamed mussels. You can also order some tasty salt-roasted oysters or mezze platter here. What sets Feast Raw Bar & Bistro apart from other high-class yet affordable restaurants is the basis of their meals and the type of ingredients used to make them. The meals are inspired by cuisines from around the world and made with seasonal organic ingredients.

Happy hours are from 5-6 pm. If you order during these hours, you'll enjoy their offerings for much less. The service options are dine-in and takeaway. Unfortunately, the restaurant doesn't do deliveries.

Blackbird Kitchen

Located at 140 E Main St, Bozeman, MT 59715, USA, Blackbird is another incredible place where you can enjoy quality food for less. The restaurant serves North American and Italian cuisines, for the better part. Their main menu consists of different kinds of food categories. These include pizza, meat(beef sirloin, leg of lamb, and pork belly), and salad(Romaine, chopped greens, & kale). Another category is starters(Blackbird bread, cheese board, roasted broccolini, and so on). The restaurant is open daily from 4.40-9 pm. There are only two service options; dine-in and curbside pickup. Just like Feast Raw Bar & Bistro, this restaurant doesn’t do deliveries.

Dave’s Sushi

Just like the name suggests, Dave's Sushi is a Sushi restaurant even though it also serves a few other non-sushi delicacies. It's located at 115 N Bozeman Ave, Bozeman, MT 59715, United States. Its menu consists of nigiri sushi, temaki sushi, maki sushi, and sashimi. Salads, noodles, specialty rolls, starters, and spice-it-ups are also parts of it.

Dave's Sushi offers dine-in and curbside pickup options only. As such, this might not be the right option if you are looking for restaurant food delivery.

The beauty of this eatery is that it offers more business hours, at least 10-1/2 hours per day. Plus, it opens daily, not to mention that the business hours vary from some days to others. For example, the restaurant is open from 11 am-9.30 pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday. On Friday and Saturday, its business hours are from 11 am-10 pm.

South 9th Bistro

South 9th Bistro is a beautiful restaurant housed in a renovated Victorian building. This eatery is situated at 721 S 9th Ave, Bozeman, MT 59715, United States. It offers a distinctive menu that consists of different food categories;

i. Appetizers-hummus, smoked trout rillettes, and tartine.
ii. Gluten-free salads-Paris spinach, Bozeman beet, and Nicoise.
iii. Gluten-free entrees-roast chicken, sauteed trout, and pork glace.
iv. Desserts-banana bread pudding, crack tart, and gluten-free chocolate espresso hazelnut mousse. Beer and wine are also sold here at very pocket-friendly prices.

Customers can choose to dine-in, takeaway, or order for delivery. There's no curbside pickup option, though. Please note that the venue is open Monday through Saturday from 1-10 pm.

By the way, Sun Basket offers two delicious kinds of mezze platters. One consists of chicken and spicy tahini dressing. The other one has lamb, eggplant, and hard-cooked eggs.

The reason why I mentioned Sun Basket is that it's one of the top-rated meal kit providers out there. It compares to the likes of Green Chef, Purple Carrot, Veestro, and Fresh n’ Lean. That’s not to mention Splendid Spoon, Factor, Daily Harvest, and BistroMD.

Having said that, the August 2021 review post talks about each entity in detail. Find out what are the best features of Sun Basket, plus the other organic meal kit providers above by reading the post. Discover the flexible meal plans that Sun Basket offers, and so much more from the article.
