Organic restaraunts in Billings and Missoula?

[1love4ever]

I normally do not go out to eat at all because I do not know what is in the food, but this summer we will be travelling to both of these places several times and I am wondering if there are any organic restaraunts in either place so that I can feel more comfortable feeding my family.  I usually pack several coolers with fruits and veggies and breads, etc that do not need to be cooked, but DH does not like eating just this, especially if it is for more than the day as our Missoula trip will certainly be.

As far as Missoula goes, I also wanted to ask if anyone has any recommendations on places to go, for fun, shopping, etc?  I have been to Greenough (sp?) Park and the Peoples Market, although I know little about the Peoples Market and couldnt even find it if you asked me to, so if you have any more info on any of these things please let me know!

Thanks so much!

hey in Missoula there is a beautiful deli in the store The Good Food Store and there's a Gluten free pizza joint called Fat Cats not sure if it's organic though, if your thinkin of a fancy place I had farm raised lamb at Red Bird downtown pricey but delicious and everyone I've met says the pearl is also a very posh restraunt I'm sure the ingredients are organic also Cio Mambo is an amazing italian resturant very family friendly fun great music affordable if you get pizza for everyone to share and I'm pretty sure I heard they grow their own ingredients when the season permits oh also amazing  in downtown La Parilla burritos etc very casual I bet its organic there is a lot of great places here in Zootown. Have fun

almost forgot Biga pizza and Cafe Dolce i love. since I'm originally from Cali I can't say much about the international food here there isn't tons of ethnicity here and no-one should expect it in Montana its beauty surpasses all other things of importance to some

Also for fun the Elk Foundation just north on reserve Grant Creek road is free and fun very educational there is also a path to walk if you keep driving north to snowbowl i hear you can ride the chair lifts up and hike down my neighbor took her 1st grader up last summer and said it was a blast, Caras park is a beautiful hand carved Carosel very fast Seely Lake is gorgeous and Garnet Ghost town is spooky, there bowling and pool at Luckt Strike Movies, The plays at the Missoula Childrens Theatre are top notch the Art Meausem downtown is free and there is also the University to visit with its own Art, hiking trails everywear and parks for picnicing near the Clark Fork river. if you have a fishing license a great place with small kids but no dogs allowed is Frenchtown pond and i could go on and on               hope you have lots of fun!
