The Mint

The Mint

Belgrade, MT is a quaint town near Bozeman that is known for its small-town charm and friendly community. As an out of town visitor, I was eager to try some of the local cuisine, and I was not disappointed when I stumbled upon The Mint. Established in 1997, this locally-owned non-chain restaurant has been serving up delicious food and drinks for over two decades.

Atmosphere and Ambiance: From the moment I stepped into The Mint, I was struck by its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The walls are adorned with old black and white photos of the town and its residents, giving the restaurant a cozy, nostalgic feel. The rustic decor and soft lighting make it the perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a relaxing meal with friends and family. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel right at home.

Menu and Food: The menu at The Mint is a delightful mix of classic American dishes and unique, locally-inspired creations. I highly recommend trying their famous "Bison Bites," bite-sized bison meatballs served with a tangy huckleberry BBQ sauce. I also tried their Bison Pot Roast, a hearty and melt-in-your-mouth dish that is a must-try for any meat lover. The portions were generous, and everything was cooked to perfection.

Cocktails and Drinks: The Mint has an extensive list of handcrafted cocktails, local beers, and a carefully curated wine selection. I tried their "Honey Badger" cocktail, a refreshing blend of gin, St. Germain, and cucumber. It was the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. They also have a great selection of non-alcoholic options, including their famous huckleberry lemonade.

Overall Experience: My visit to The Mint was unforgettable, and I would highly recommend it to any out of town visitors looking for a taste of local flavor in Belgrade. The combination of delicious food, friendly service, and cozy ambiance makes it a must-visit spot. I will definitely be returning to The Mint the next time I am in town.
