🍷 The Dining Edit
We usually choose a fun casual dining experience but if we do decide to do something special it is usually Chandler's or Barbacoa. You just can't go wrong with any of these!
Chandlers is one of Boise's fanciest restaurants and known for their mouth watering steaks. They also have an amazing halibut, a great wine selection and we go for the Chocolate Souffle! Happy hour is great but you have to get there right at 4:00, ot...
Chandler's Steakhouse
When you enter Barbacoa it's like you've entered fancy restaurant in Vegas or New York! They have a famous happy hour that features 2 for 1 drinks but get there early for a seat, it ends at 6pm! We love the table side guacamole and the Hot Rock Filet...

We love the Bardenay! It's a restaurant and distillery in an old warehouse. We have never had a bad meal here and I love their french fries! I get the Chipolte Chicken Sandwich and Mike gets the Salmon Sandwich. Yum!
Bardenay Restaurant & Distillery Downtown
Our very favorite Thai food! The coconut rice is the best I've ever had. We get the spicy beef and cashew chicken but everything here is good! We love supporting them because it is run by a small local family and they are always so friendly. The dini...
Nahm Thai & Burmese Cuisine
Fork is actually a great choice for dinner or brunch! They have great bloody mary's and we always make sure to get the grilled cheese appetizer with tomato basil soup to dip! It's really yummy!
Fork
Luciano's is a authentic Italian restaurant and always busy! They don't take reservations but you need to call ahead to get on the waiting list to be seated. During peak times this can take up to 2 hours. They have a yurt you can get a drink in while...

🍽️ Our Favorite Midday Stops
Sometimes it is a quick bite to eat between showings and appointments and sometimes it's late lunch with happy hour… it's usually one of these!
We love Parilla for a late lunch or happy hour. Located in the North End Hyde Park neighborhood it's a fun vibe and you can get ice cream or do a little shopping after!
Parrilla Grill - Hyde Park
We usually do Bombay for lunch or takeout. They have a great buffet lunch and it does get pretty crowded so get there early! Always good food especially if you are a fan of Indian Cuisine!
Bombay Grill
If you love a poke bowl… this is your place. Choose from so many things to dress it up!
Paddles Up Poké
I love the Zen Bento Chicken Teriyaki bowl! It's great for a quick bite there or to go!

Moon's is a breakfast institution in Boise. It's been around longer than I can remember and is always a great breakfast. They have a new and cute location on 8th Street in the Zion's building. Get the Beignets!!
Moon's Kitchen Cafe
Addie's has been our go-to for over 20 years. It's nothing fancy but exactly what you want after a night out!! They have it all and it is all good!
Addie's
The Shed is a great brunch or game day bar! Get the nacho's they are huge and great to split! Everything is great and it's a fun place to root on your favorite team!
The Shed
One of Boise's favorite brunch spots! The bacon is that good and you must get it - there are several different flavors to choose from!
BACON
An East Boise favorite! Great for a breakfast burrito, coffee, salad or a sandwich. A great place to say hi the the neighbors and pick up a quick something!
