I love Aurore French Bakery! Eating anything that comes out of this bakery is like getting a hug…read morefrom your Grandma. I'm not over exaggerating either, this bakery is one of my favorite places in Bozeman. There is nothing we have ever tried here that we did not like. My personal favorites include any flaky pastry like the butter croissant, Pain au Chocolat (cholate croissant), Pain au Chocolat aux Amandes (chocolate and almond croissant)...yum! I can only describe it as biting into golden, flaky shell with a soft, buttery interior. Don't get me started on the delicious French Butter! Aurore does an amazing job sourcing high quality ingredients you can taste. It makes me so sad that we moved. Yet, so excited to have something to look forward to when we're back in town. We discovered Aurore French Bakery before most people knew how delicious it was. Now, there's almost always a line out the door no matter the time of day--and they deserve it. If you want to experience one of the most perfect bites in Bozeman, show up early!

C'est formidable!!! Authentic, delicious and easy…read more What took me so long to review? Not wanting to share this absolute gem with the masses - the line at Aurore is already long enough. Ha! Alas, the secret is out and Aurore is keeping up with demand, so much so that there's another location now. Things I love: - classic croissant - Croinamon (croissant cinnamon roll) - croissant aux chocolate - any of her pâte à choux / eclairs - cappuccino (Parisian roasted!) ... BUT MY FAV? The ham & cheese croissant which uses ham from Daniel's and has a delicious grainy mustard added. EASILY the best I've ever had, even in Europe. Ambulance is simple, cozy with several tables. The space is a commercial kitchen foremost which is a good thing - everything made fresh! The one downside to prepare for if you plan to stay and nosh is that they don't have a restroom available. Don't forget to pick up a loaf of bread, baguette, sticks of French butter, French flour, and/or extra treats for later. You won't regret any of it!! From their site: "French flour from Les Grands Moulins de Paris and French butter from Isigny Sainte-Mère. Importing butter, jams, juices, and vinegar from France too!"

Absolutely terrific!!…read more This place was busy and bustling from the moment we entered until the time we left. The line is long but moves along quite well. Service was friendly and efficient. My partner said that his carrot cake was the best he has ever had. I could make a similar claim for my almond croissant. And the nectarine friand that we split was equally delicious. More, please!! Much, much more!!!

Aside from the fact that most of Bozeman agrees (Best of Bozeman & "Bozeman's Choice" for more…read moreyears than Tex has been barking) - this is MY PASTRY PARADISE ! Located in a very walkable block with a weekly Farmer's Market & Fink's Deli around the hall, they're bringing all the gluten goods baked from wholesome Conservation Grains milled in Montana. And by ALL I mean brioche burger buns, berry crumb pies, financiers and cakes with aplomb to-go. I tried a delicate Carrot Cake (perhaps with a touch of coconut) topped in fluffy mounds of cream cheese frosting (+1 chocolate macaron) that WOWed. Only downside is you need 2 bites to get to the bottom - more than a mouthful! The staff was patient with my indecisiveness, and I wished I could stay to converse & work below local paintings lighting golden walls, but the road is calling!

The Daily makes excellent chais! They have a cozy upstairs area if you're looking to stay awhile.

Can't really say much about the service besides staff was nice and they basically take your order and drop your food off when it s ready.

The French dip was pretty good and was a pretty big size but nothing really made it stand out.

Wine Selection is SUPERB! Love the ambiance, cleanliness and French Bistro Feel, good background music, not loud at all. Bread and Butter is Excellent! French Onion Soup-Yummy! FYI: Chairs at regular tables are very comfortable, vs metal high top chairs, just for those who prefer more comfortable seating options! Reservations recommended, especially on weekends and Summer Months. The owner did come out to dining room but preferred to visit with 2 younger ladies and not with an Elite Member-???? Food above and beyond, seasoned to perfection well balanced. The Asparagus I had with the Salmon Dish was the BEST I've had in a long time, flavorful and tender very fresh, same goes for the Beet Salad. Creme Brûlée was to die for Don't miss the opportunity when in the area! Very clean restroom and nice meeting/wine tasting room in the back of the restaurant.

Our experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing…read more There were four of us dining, and not one person had a good meal. The bread arrived stale, the wine selection was surprisingly limited and the wines we tried were of poor quality. I ordered a steak that was served cold--almost as if it had barely been heated. It was completely lacking in flavor and required an excessive amount of salt just to make it edible. To their credit, they offered to remake it, but the second steak was still severely undercooked for what I had requested and had to be sent back again. My husband's dish was equally disappointing and lacked any real flavor. Having lived in France, he commented that this was the worst French dining experience he has ever had. What made the evening even more frustrating was that we had recommended this restaurant to friends and were genuinely embarrassed by the experience. Based on the food quality, service execution, and overall dining experience, we cannot understand how this restaurant has earned such glowing reviews. Unfortunately, this was a complete miss for our group, and we would not return or recommend it to others.

It was well worth the planning ahead to satisfy a craving.

The woman helping us out said they were made with beef tallow and were made with clean ingredients, that's nice but holy moly! We got 6 donuts for $34!!!!! Absolutely crazy! Would I go again? Yes but maybe just to grab a donut or two. We wanted to buy a dozen just as a snack for the family but did not expect to spend so much. The woman who helped us was super sweet I will say.

We went ahead and got an 8-piece box and a couple of the chocolate covered orange slices.

La Châtelaine is the kind of place you have to find--tucked away in a quiet Bozeman neighborhood,…read morefar from the bustle of Main Street. The search felt almost romantic, like wandering the side streets of Paris in pursuit of a hidden chocolatier known only to locals. The exterior was humble, even nondescript--I half-wondered if I'd stumbled upon an old hardware store. But the moment I stepped inside, I knew I'd found something extraordinary. A long glass case gleamed with rows of exquisite chocolates--delicate, jewel-like creations that would make any Parisian confiseur proud. These weren't simple chocolate bars or mass-produced sweets; each piece looked like a tiny work of art, inspired by faraway cacao origins and the timeless elegance of old-world France. Choosing just four for my sampler box felt impossible, so I surrendered and asked the server for guidance. She smiled and asked what flavors I loved most, then curated a selection that included two pieces crafted from Mexican cacao--tracing their roots to the Aztecs--and a layered chocolate so refined it could have come straight from Saint-Germain-des-Prés. To complete the indulgence, I ordered a hot chocolate--Mexican style, of course. Rich, velvety, and lightly spiced, it was perfection in a cup. Each bite of chocolate was an awakening--smooth, complex, and impossibly luxurious. By the end, I was speechless. La Châtelaine isn't just a chocolatier; it's a love letter to Paris, written in cacao. They may be hidden in Bozeman for now, but their craft deserves a world stage.
