Missoula

Boxcar Bistro is the kind of place Missoula residents should be quietly proud of — a legit wine program in a town where the bar is easy to clear and they've chosen to go higher. We'd send a friend here, especially one who thinks they already know what they like.

For Montana, this list is genuinely impressive — fair prices, real producers, and enough depth to reward the curious diner who looks past the first page. If you're passing through Missoula and care about what's in your glass, Pangea is the move.
