Emily’s guidebook
Food scene
Bozeman definitely has a great food scene these days! Please be sure and reach out directly if looking for something specific or needing more suggestions.
***I'd highly recommend calling restaurants in advance to ensure they're open and potentially make a reservation. Many local restaurants have been hit hard through the pandemic and are short staffed. An extra dose of kindness and patience will go a long way!***
