So, you can imagine the excitement when two Bozeman restaurants made the list of a major publication.

The folks over at Wine Spectator shared their 2026 list of Winners of Best Restaurants and while several Montana restaurants made the list (most of them in Big Sky) two here in Bozeman standout.

Which Bozeman restaurants made the list?

The first winner to make the list is Fielding's. Fielding's is located in the Armory on Mendenhall. You can enter the restaurant through the hotel lobby or there is an individual door outside of the building. With a full menu, including weekend brunch, you are sure to find something that you love. Fielding's is open daily serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Next up is Vienne Bakery and Cafe.

The Vienne Bakery and Cafe is located on Wallace in downtown Bozeman. The Cafe serves delicious foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as brunch. They are open 6 days a week and closed on Mondays.

While it is no doubt an honor for both of these restaurants, Bozeman is full of wonderful places to dine and have an enjoyable time out.
