South 9th Bistro

OMG! Rated as the best restaurant in Bozeman, now I see why! Great atmosphere, amazing service, and the best food I have had in years! Had the bruschetta which doubled as a salad, the butternut squash ravioli was rich and so delicious, I can hardly even describe, finished by banana bread pudding. WOW!

We went to South 9th Bistro to celebrate my birthday, from first impressions, to our exit, everything was amazing! It truly was the best culinary experience I have had in the western region of the lower 48 states to date. Fresh cut roses, beautiful french artwork and warm decór, truly made the ambiance! I ordered the truffle mushroom risotto, and our guests order a ribeye, scallops, a lamb shank, and the halibut. Having a gluten allergy, some restaurants are really difficult to work around regarding their menu (or even cross contamination) but it was so pleasing to see a flourless dessert, and to know that the preparation of the food was a priority, as well as the culinary preferences of their customers. The staff was so friendly, the menu had a variety of different options and flavors, and I cannot wait to go back again! Thank you, Hank, and the entire South 9th Bistro, for your exceptional service, care, and yummy cuisine!

Comfortable, unpretentious, relaxing and fulfilling....just like most of Bozeman! Staff is friendly and familiar, right on point but easy going. Service was quick but never felt rushed. A shared house salad was crisp and perfectly dressed. Entrees were Ratatouille, Risotto and 3 Beet Salad. No room for dessert but plenty for French press coffee. This was our last meal out during our trip to MT, a ringer.

Great food, and solid service. Boyfriend and I had anniversary plans here, but I definitely encourage reservations. I watched at least 3 parties get turned away before we were sat. My only (small) complaint was the seating. I'm not a fan of sliding into a booth when wearing a fancy dress and heels. But not all tables had booth seating, so I imagine it's an easy work around.
