Nova Cafe

Top choice in Bozeman & Gallatin Valley


A helpful map at the entrance shows you where the food you'll be eating comes from at this retro-contemporary locals' favorite. The hollandaise is a bit on the sweet side, but still excessively delicious – as is everything else. The forbidden rice salad with ginger and lemongrass is another highlight. There's a special menu for vegans, too.

Bison chorizo is a distinctly Montanan take on a Southwest favorite.
