Best salads in town! Fresh ingredients, savory dressings. Nice combination of crisp greens, crunchy veggies, and a variety of toppings - beans, nuts, etc. Fast service, read more

I really like this place and want them to do well. Everything I've tried has been flavorful. I appreciate the fresh ingredients. I'd just say portion should match the price. I love the Winter Steak Salad. But the steak is sparse as are the other key ingredients. I don't mind paying $20+, but would like a respectable portion. read more

I love Basal. It's the only place I know I can get a healthy, nutritious, locally sourced lunch downtown. Their salads are made fresh. Their staff is always friendly and warm. I've never had to wait longer than a pick up time stated for an online order. If I am even more pressed for time, the bone broth is such a fast and yummy treat. Dining at a table is always a positive experience. It's on the pricier side, but I'd much rather pay for a higher quality plate than opt for what else is available downtown. 5 stars!! read more

Grateful to find Basal as we passed through Missoula. The delicious meal was nourishing as it was tasty. What made it extra nice were the people. Im kicking myself for forgetting the young mans name after asking him but he is in a couple of these pics. His attitude and willingness to give us a good experience was evident. He made helpful suggestions to add to the pesto rice bowl. Then this cheerful woman brought us our meal and coffees, turns out that was Julie one of the owners. This place has a fabulous vive and we will come back. Thank you read more

Absolutely loved the build your own salad. The warm breakfast bowl was fantastic too. The pesto stirfry was tasty, but mostly rice. We would've liked more veggies. They were happy to put our to go orders in our own Tupperware's. Save the Earth! And we absolutely love the bone broth! The strawberry rhubarb smoothie sounded tasty. The only thing that can make it better is if they had fermented veggies! read more

Shared a salad and a smoothie with my husband, we both were full and very satisfied with the quality of the ingredients and the flavors. So much freshness-love it! We do wish they had tofu as a protein choice, but the lentils they had were very tasty and cooked firm so they had that nice robust filling quality to them. would def come back here! read more

I ate at Basal the majority of my time in town because it was attached to my hotel and also delicious. I travel for work quite a bit, and as someone who tries to be health conscious, it's hard to indulge every meal. Sometimes you want leafy greens and a nice bowl of soup. Basal is perfect for this. I've been eating mostly vegetarian as late and enjoyed every salad I had. The atmosphere isn't anything to phone home about, but the booths are comfortable and it's spacious. When I heard I was returning to Missoula, I knew I'd be leaning on healthy meals from Basal and more importantly, I found myself craving their salads versus it being a healthy but boring choice. 4 stars because at the end of the day it's a salad, but it's a very, very, satisfying one. read more

Stopped in for a coffee while exhausted - coffee was good and strong but wish it was slightly larger. Friendly staff and a very trendy and cute spot, would love to come back for lunch. read more

Excellent! So many healthy and fresh options! I love the ability to build a custom order. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Yum delicious breakfast! Glad I made it before noon to order! Love that they ask if you want extras or substitutions and even if you have allergies. Indoor seating is limited and it was busy during the lunch hour. Order a head and enjoy! read more

Clean and open place - loved the display of all the fresh ingredients. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered a smoothie and americano and was shocked at the relatively low price for both - but I am from Seattle so take that with a grain of salt. Americano was appropriately strong and smooth. Smoothie (I got the almond butter and jelly) was obviously very fresh and had some great flavor. It was just south of room temperature - I personally prefer my smoothies a bit colder. Definitely would swing by again. read more

The Brussels Caesar salad with chicken is sooooooooooo incredibly delicious. We happened upon this place memorial day weekend looking for some fresh and delicious lunch. Wow, what a treat. The food was absolutely incredible. The space was super cute and clean. And the staff was so wonderful. We had a huge group and they were so accommodating. Would 1000000% recommend stopping in for a salad and smoothie when you're in town! read more

Overpriced basic salad. We were excited to try this place and the salads sounded great! Our bill ended up being $80 for two people, two salads... and the salads were not worth that amount at all. read more

Loved the tomato soup! Had the beet salad and it was so very and crunchy. Will be back next time I am in town :)

Fresh and quality ingredients with great flavor combinations and well seasoned. Service with a smile in this bright downtown Missoula spot. I stopped for lunch, craving a big salad and Basal hit the spot. I had one with legumes and various vegetables, just the right amount of dressing. The space was clean and bright. I would visit again! Thank you! read more

Rushed through a sudden rainstorm to get there before they closed. They had already closed up early. They did serve me, rudely. Won't be back. read more

Amazing salads! Definately recommend for fresh creative lunch or dinner. Dine in was great and do was service.

Pricy but fresh salads with quality ingredients. This restaurant has lots of greenery with their decor and feels organic yet chic. Casual spot for lunch or breakfast but seems to get lots of takeout business too. Smoothies are okay- feel like the flavors are good but not great. I tried the half salad, buffalo cauliflower and it was fresh, filling, and delicious. A little skimpy on the cauliflower, but the salad consisted of mixed greens, cherry tomatos, celery, purple cabbage, croutons, gorgonzola, and a yummy ranch dressing. Nice healthy spot but seems a bit overpriced for what it is. Maybe try getting a full salad and splitting it in two meals. read more

Basel is a cafe in Missoula serving healthy salads. We stopped here for lunch one day while on a national park road trip, while craving something lighter and healthier. The menu consists solely of salads, so there isn't much variety if you are craving a salad but your friend is not. The eatery is casual, and you order and pay at the counter before receiving your food. They have two or three outdoor tables, and more tables indoors. I had the cauliflower salad and was not satisfied at all with this salad. The ingredients seemed fine, but there was so little cauliflower or anything else that could have been filling in this. It was mostly just a bunch of salad greens. The pieces of cheese were tiny crumbled slivers. My husband got a chicken salad, and his also was very measly with the portions. We regretted coming here and left still feeling hungry. read more

Food was interesting and delicious. Servers were so warm and friendly. We sat in the window and watched downtown go by. Loved all of it. Highly recommended! read more

So one time I slid by the basal to get an oil change and the blonde lady said "this isn't a jiffy lube dude" and I was bewildered. I understand now that establishment wasn't a place by which my tires could be rotated but a little bit of humanity would have been nice. We all make mistakes. I just hope Basal and I can make amends because they have somewhat delicious salad but really not cool they don't do oil changes. read more

I stopped into basal because it looked adorable with all the plants and earthy atmosphere. I got a half of a salad with a variety of toppings. It was all fresh and delish and half was even too much for me. I would come here again for a healthy lunch read more

The food that we ordered at Basal was fabulous! We ordered the curry stir fry, 1/2 salad, and roasted cauliflower soup and didn't come close to eating it all. Everything was fresh and portion sizes were large. The stir fry could easily be split! The service was quick and we enjoyed sitting outside in front of the restaurant. We're traveling across the country and it was such a treat to find healthy food and lots of vegetable choices. I highly recommend and very thankful for the vegan options. read more

Loved the curbside pick up. Food was delicious and fresh. Full Salad was a great dinner size. Delicious, clean, fresh. Pricey but good.

Lovely place with loads of vegan options including salads, smoothies and stir fries. I had their yellow curry stir fry and it was very mild on spice but quite flavourful and fresh. Nice airy space, outside seating, friendly staff, and compostable utensils and to go containers. Overall a nice spot for a quick lunch. read more

Quaint place to drop in for a bite to eat. The soup of the day was delicious but the bread was very dry and must have been sitting out for awhile. A bit over priced for what you are getting. Curious about their salads to try next time as that is what they are more known for. Would recommend this place for lunch or a snack. read more

Food was delicious and healthy with GF DF options. Prices were a deterrent and the place was visually pleasing put too noisy for me today. Spent $25 on two handfuls of a half salad and a glass of water including tip. No table service. read more

we ordered some salad on our way up to seattle and stopped at Missoula. we found this salad place downtown but never went there. we ordered from the phone. i picked it up, service was nice, and the vibe was cool too. very open to everyone. its just the pricing that threw me off. we ordered 3 large caesar salads and it ended up being $57.00. there was only one of the salads that had chicken in them. which was mine. i understand i hadnt looked at the prices and it was large but I wouldnt justify a salad to being $57.00. but overall it was actually very tasty. read more

Wow this place is amazing and sooooo good. I had the cauliflower soup (scrumptious) and made my own salad with the numerous ingredients they have. Everything was top notch and the service was amazing. She was so helpful and polite. Thank you!!! Highly recommended! read more

So disappointed. I went to Basal about a year ago and it was great! Last night was an absolute letdown. My "meal" was, no exaggeration, a $3.50 pack of spring greens (in huge, unprepped pieces) with exactly ONE asparagus spear cut into 5 pieces, two small shavings of Parmesan cheese, about a teaspoon of lentils, a tablespoon of chickpeas, and 2 orange wedges broken into pieces. For nearly $20?!!! What an insult. That was my dinner and I woke in the middle of the night feeling SO hungry. I'm not sure I'll give them another chance. Or, at least, I'll be sure to check the box before leaving. read more

Definitely get the HOMEMADE BROTH!!!! Really you can't go wrong everything in here is good for your body and your soul I flew in from California to visit my sister and got a little bit of a runny nose it was conveniently located inside the hotel I was staying at but I'll see you can access from the street they're open from 8 to 8 every day of the week and everything in here is customizable and we also have items that you can take to go or eat indoors or outside on a couple of tables but for sure try the homemade broth no matter what time of year it is!! read more

I paid $19.50 for a sale with just greens, avocado and salmon. There was NO avocado, and tiny shreds of smoked salmon. Seriously? So irritating. Only gave 2 stars because the girl who brought our food out for curbside was sweet. Skimped on hubby's salad too. Do better. read more

Amazing! The healthy, fresh choices here are simple, creative, filling, and delicious! I'm always a fan when a restaurant can creatively and deliciously satisfy so many food pallets- omnivores, vegetarian, vegans, gluten free, etc. the salads we have were so fresh and crisp. The pictures are the generous half portions. The location is bright and clean. The staff were incredibly friendly and the service was fast. We visited on a pass through of Missoula and will make time to stop back by on our way home. A real treat and a gem to your city! I without a doubt recommend this eatery with an overwhelming 5stars! read more

Wonderful service that aligns with the amazing salads. I was traveling through and stopped twice. No bad choice on the menu.
