Tamarack Brewing Company Facebook Tamarack Brewing Company’s Lakeside and Missoula locations both have outdoor seating. And while Tamarack is a great place to go in any season, there’s something especially perfect about enjoying a pizza and a cold beverage in the summer sunshine.

BCofOC / TripAdvisor Cafe Madriz is a seasonal restaurant, which means you don’t have much longer to order paella and tapas from the front patio. If you’re making a trip to Yellowstone National Park before fall, stopping here is a must.
- Cafe Fresco, 317 E. Mendenhall St., Bozeman
Cafe Fresco Facebook
Cafe Fresco Facebook If you live in the Bozeman area, perhaps you’ve already been won over by this charming little Italian bistro and wine bar. But dining on their seasonal patio – or even indoors when the doors are open – is an entirely new experience.
These are a few of the best outdoor dining options in Montana, but until fall is in full swing, any meal enjoyed al fresco is a good one. Here are some waterfront restaurants to check out ASAP.
