- MMitzieGoldNorth Dakota •24 reviews5.0Dined on Sep 13, 2026This is such a cute cross between fine dining and local watering hole. If the evening had been a bit warmer, we’d have loved to sit on the patio. The drinks were good and the filet was fantastic. The Basque cheesecake was the perfect finish to dinner.More infoHighlander Bar & Grill$$$$• American• Helena•4.9
- MMitzieGoldNorth Dakota •24 reviews5.0Dined on Sep 11, 2026The restaurant has seating that is separated into a couple of areas which I think cuts down on noise and creates a more intimate atmosphere. The service was excellent. Our server explained the specials and their featured wine, and we received samples of two of the wines offered by the glass. We chose to go with the wine feature, which was very good. The restaurant has bread service with their own balsamic and oil blend, of which we couldn’t get enough! The entrees were flavorful and presented beautifully. We finished our meals with two desserts, and they were delicious.More infoThe Wassweiler$$$$• American• Helena•4.7

Not just a major tourist destination, Montana’s capital city, Helena, offers diverse culinary experiences. Classic American cuisine abounds in its fine and casual dining eateries. If in the mood for a sandwich, the traveler is spoiled for choice. Sandwiches are made large as befitting Big Sky country, and they include locally made sauces for extra flavor. Likewise, sample the hamburgers served at its numerous pubs, grills, and saloons. These hamburgers can be ordered with meat toppings, like bacon or ham, for a carnivore’s delight. American comfort foods, including pot roasts and bacon-flavored mac and cheese, are equally delightful. While American food is plentiful, Helena also boasts Cajun-Creole, Greek, Thai, and Chinese eateries. Helena truly has something for every palate.
