Reviews for Cafe Kandahar in Whitefish, MT
Outstanding food experience! We took the 5 courses with wine pairing, ultimate flavors in your mouth! Place is super clean,... staff is dedicated and knowledgeable, and the chef - Andy - is so creative! I haven't been there for years mainly due to Covidrestrictions but now that life is close to normal, going there was worth the taste, excitement and the menu is at another level.Way to go folks!

Can't speak for the restaurant, but the Snug Bar? The Snug Bar is like a warm après-ski, après-hike, après-whatever yummy... boozy hug. It's inviting, cozy, tiny, intimate, and... well... snug. Naming a snug bar the Snug Bar may not be the most creativebranding in the world, but it's solidly on point here. The Snug is definitely snug. The drinks are well made and the staff issuper friendly. A limited menu is available from the restaurant. Read more
From the first course to the last you will be awed. Exceptional cuisine with choices throughout. How to chose between elk or... bison tenderloin? The wine is masterfully paired. Service exceptional. Thank you to all the staff! Read more
True farm to table. Very very creative and well executed. The service is impeccable with knowledgeable staff. I highly... recommend the wine pairing. This pic is the octopus but the chefs meal also had risotto and bison. My first time here?.but I?llbe back soon. Very soon. Read more
5++ stars. First please disregard the recent negative reviews. Those potential diners missed an extraordinary opportunity... because they did not respect the reservation process. This is a small intimate restaurant with limited seating capacity that iseven more reduced now due to COVID restrictions. Don?t reserve a table and try to change within the stated deadline. You?redoing yourself and the owner a disservice. Dalise Blanton is very hands-on with reservation requests and went out of her way toensure our party was well-accommodated. Now onto the meal. I?ve been coming to Café Kandahar for over 15 years and it onlygets better. I?ve lived in NYC for 18 years and Chef Andy could easily compete with the the best in Manhattan. Yet he?s rightthere at the base of the Big Mountain, serving up Montana-inspired cuisine that will rival any fine dining experience in theworld. He and his exceptional staff will sear this culinary encounter into your memory forever. Also, understanding that somepatrons might be new to this level of dining, I assure you it?s also an incredible value for quality. As I write this, I?m tornbecause I consider Café Kandahar one of the great hidden treasures of Montana! Now it will be even harder to get a reservation! Read more
Tried the adventure menu x2 with a friend and added the wine pairing. Although $50 is a lot for 2-3 total drinks of wine, the... sommelier was wonderful and made it totally worth it. Definitely recommend the octopus, soup, and elk tenderloin as they wereabsolutely spectacular. Read more
This is a 5 star dining experience. The chef takes his time to make everything exactly right. Beautiful presentation, and... extreme flavor in every single bite. We each ordered the 3 course and a couple drinks. Everything was distinct and delicious!! Read more
