RESTAURANTS AND BARS

Food options are limited as we get more rural, so truthfully it will be kinda whatever is around. That being said, these are some of our go-to stops on the route from Kalispell to East Glacier Park.

Huckleberry pie at Glacier Highland Restaurant (West Glacier)

Moose’s Saloon, mostly for the vibe. Beer and pizza. (Kalispell)

Sweet peaks ice cream (Kalispell)

Fleur bake shop (Whitefish)

LOGE, with the new owners they overhauled the menu at the restaurant. Last time we passed through they were still working on the menu but the new appetizers were good. (Essex)

Montana Coffee Roasters: “Montana Morning” is Lindsay and Cordell’s favorite blend. (Columbia Falls and Whitefish)

GROCERY STORES

Costco, Safeway, Rosauers, Albertsons, etc. in Kalispell.
