Breakfast - the most important meal of the day!

If you've got an adventure packed day, start your day our right by hitting one of several coffee shops or a cafe to fuel up for the day ahead. Both Folklore Coffee and Montana Coffee Traders will be a go-to for the Javaphile. Both feature Montana-roasted beans and have delicious pastries for a quick meal.

If you're thinking about having a more leisurely day why not make the most of breakfast and dig in to a scrumptious eggs benedict or crepes? Loula's Cafe is family-run restaurant located in a Historic Masonic temple in downtown Whitefish. Loula's emphasis is on made from scratch dishes, using fresh ingredients, locally sourced. Beyond the breakfast menu, they have an assortment of amazing pies. Why not have one for breakfast - you're on vacation! Speaking of sweets, Amazing Crepes has been serving quality food utilizing local fresh ingredients since 2005. Though you might think sweet, they have an amazing array of savory options - and coffee.

For a truly unique experience, the Swift Creek Cafe, run by the Moreno Halphen family, has an 80 year tradition of coffee and food. Beginning with a conservation focused coffee estate in Panama, to an award-winning restaurant in Houston, the family brings a place of character, art and community - not to mention award-winning Executive Chef Christian Moreno - to the Whitefish restaurant scene.

Lunch - Or second breakfast, or early dinner?

Drinks – Beer, goes well with most things

Oh and the burger menu is top notch.
