Inside Montana’s Most Unusual Restaurant Experience

Over the years Montana has really stepped up its food game. We have more restaurants that are attracting attention from national TV, magazines, and food bloggers.  

Guy Fieri has spent some time in Montana and when he visited Missoula he highlighted a handful of restaurants on his “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” program.

Occasionally there is a spot, or two, that gets recognized for standing out in more ways than one. Take for example Missoula’s Notorious P.I.G., not only are they recognized for their tasty eats, but also for being one of Montana’s best restaurants. 

Bozeman’s Cateye Cafe Lands on Unusual Restaurant List

It’s not all about Missoula, there is another restaurant that is getting some recognition. The Cateye Cafe in Bozeman is being recognized as one of the most unusual dining experiences in Montana, according to Love Food.  

That is an interesting list to be on. There are plenty of eating establishments in Montana that are pretty unusual. When you see taxidermy animals on a wall, or an old Montana cafe that doesn’t look like it has changed since we became a state, there is a lot of unusualness in Montana.

The Cateye Cafe has a great-looking cat-themed menu with breakfast and lunch options. They have been making house-made comfort food in Bozeman for the past two decades. It's not a very big cafe, and for those people who like cats, this is the place for you. If you aren't a "cat-person" it doesn't matter, the food should be enough for you to visit. 

The more lists the Cateye Cafe gets added to, the more I want to give it a try one of these days.
