In a place as small as the Gallatin Valley, where almost every new restaurant is hailed with an article in the newspaper, it might be hard to imagine there are any spots that go unnoticed. But there are a few that, while still known, are perhaps less trafficked — a little off the beaten path, if you will. Take, for example, El Rodeo. Tucked in the Gallatin Valley Mall off Main Street, the restaurant offers authentic tacos, burritos and enchiladas and is known by many as the best Mexican food in the area. The family-owned establishment started as a food truck (the truck is still around, and usually hangs out down the street), but not everyone knows about the mall location. If you’re interested in food hailing from even

under the radar continued >> Finally, for the breakfast inclined among us, there’s the Cafe at the Inn on the Gallatin. A tiny cottage just off U.S. Highway 191 on the drive from Bozeman to Big Sky, the cafe is attached to several cabins and an RV camp. And while the cabins are adorable (and affordable), the restaurant steals the show. Bear paw-sized homemade biscuits and jams, delicious omelettes and plenty of vegetarian-friendly options, it’s a must-visit. The cafe recently closed to folks not staying in the cabins, but reopens to the public every so often, so check their social media pages for updates. And don’t miss out on huckleberry fried pie.

Like any self-respecting booming college town, Bozeman (and the surrounding areas) has a healthy selection of food on wheels to choose from. While the roster is growing and changing, and many of the following list can’t be found out and about during the colder months, here are a few options to get you started. For the finer palettes, there’s Sauce , a truck based on seasonal, local foods. As such, the menu is always changing, but (if they’re available) be sure to try out the truffle fries or the banh mi, which can be made vegetarian. The
truck also offers catering services. Craving some late night munchies? Look no further than Mo’ Bowls. Often strategically parked outside the Barmuda Triangle (the group of bars situated off 8th and Main), Mo’ Bowls offers a variety of delicious bowls of heavenly mac and cheese. There are meat and veggie options and, of course, deep fried mac balls. Don’t think, just go. Food trucks are traditionally marked by their comfort food style, and Poutine and Stuff is no exception. As its name suggests, the truck serves delicious fried and battered treats, oftened smothered in mouth-watering gravy. In addition to its typical poutine (french fries, cheese curds and gravy), the truck offers fried curds and tasty chicken wings with your choice of sauces ranging from garlic lime to snakebite buffalo.

food trucks continued >> Finally, a word for one of the area’s original trucks. Tumbleweeds and chef Jay Blaske have been featured in these pages before, but the truck’s Mexican fusion cuisine can’t be over-hyped. The truck’s menu features tacos and burritos, done with chicken, smoked pork shoulder, shrimp or veggies cooked in a variety of styles, from American barbecue to Korean. During the summer, trucks gather on Fridays in the parking lot outside the Architect’s Wife, an interior design store near the corner of Babcock and Willson. Many can also be found at the various farmers markets around the valley and in Big Sky.

If you’re searching for something to satisfy that sweet tooth, your first stop should be La Châtelaine Chocolat Co. in Bozeman. Owners Shannon Hughes Grochowski and Wlady Grochowski are both extensively trained in the art of chocolate making, and it shows. At its two locations (one on South Rouse and the other in the lobby of The Baxter), La Châtelaine offers some of the best chocolates in the country. I’m particularly partial to the King Bourbon, filled with dark chocolate ganache with bourbon and geranium, and the praline with hazelnut paste. If you need more persuading, La Châtelaine was

Located in a repurposed Airstream camper next to the Lark hotel, the “shop” serves the company’s rotating cast of flavors, from classic favorites like mint chocolate chip and salted caramel to alternative offerings such as cardamom. There are plenty of benches to hang out on and watch the crowds walk by, and on chillier nights the Lark will fire up its outdoor wood fireplace, making it a great place to congregate.

A large part of the shop is devoted to classic glass displays of dry-cured meats — everything from elk sausage to duck prosciutto — and fresh seafood flown in daily. The deli side of things serves up hot and cold sandwiches, salads, beautiful charcuterie boards, and oysters on the half-shell all in a 40-seat, cafe-style setting. The restaurant also has draft beer and wine and an outdoor patio for those warm summer afternoons.

Another long standing fan-favorite, Sir Scott’s Oasis Steakhouse and Lounge is a must-try for anyone in the mood for a juicy dinner plate-sized steak and a taste of down home Montana. All the cuts, from the beautifully marbled New York strip to the hulking porterhouse, are dry-aged in a massive walk-in cooler for several weeks before serving, giving them a texture and richness of flavor that’s almost impossible to find in store-bought meat.

The cider house is also open until midnight, and with its outdoor patio and wood fireplace, it’s a great place to hang out on those long summer nights.
