Wonderland Cafe & Lodge

The Best Restaurants in and Around Yellowstone National Park | Eater

"Nestled in the town of Gardiner, Montana, the gateway to Yellowstone’s north entrance, the Wonderland Lodge houses guests in rooms with apt names like the Grizzly Den, Buffalo Suite, and Wapiti Room. Downstairs, the all-day cafe and restaurant is all about scratch cooking and local ingredients, doled out in dishes like elk chili with jalapeño cornbread and maple mascarpone, bison bolognese heaped over angel hair pasta, and poutine slathered in oxtail and rib-eye gravy from Montana ranches. To drink, there’s a full wine list, several local beers, and a surprising cocktail selection incorporating things like sake and kombucha." - Matt Kirouac
