Montana Couples’ Preferred Valentine’s Day Dining Experiences

Valentine’s Day in Montana, when love is in the air (but the air is so cold it makes your face hurt.) It is a great time to get inside and enjoy a hot meal with your sweetheart. But what are the most searched cuisines that Montanans like to enjoy on this romantic day?

The website matchmakingcompany.com dug up the Google search data for the most searched types of food in each state. With a majority of the country voting for Steakhouse as the top spot for a romantic meal. But, not Montana! We prefer more carbs with our romance.

Italian: Pasta la Vista, Baby

Italian cuisine is one option for those looking to recreate the classic spaghetti scene from “Lady and the Tramp” at home, but its cost and prep time can add up. With dishes that are as rich as your love life (one hopes), Italian restaurants are the top searched Valentine's Day restaurants in Montana.

Steakhouse: The Carnivore’s Valentine

So it’s no shocker that in a state with more cattle than humans, steakhouses shine the brightest. After all, what says “I love you” better than a perfectly seared ribeye?

Seafood: Fishing for Compliments

Montana may be landlocked, but that hasn’t stopped lovebirds from seeking the best seafood that they can find. Besides, ordering oysters to share is a classic aphrodisiac, even if the nearest ocean is hundreds of miles away.

French: Ooh La La!

French cuisine, for couples wanting to make their evening feel a little more sophisticated. From escargot to other menu items I cannot pronounce, it’s the culinary equivalent of saying sweet nothings in the language of love.

Sushi: Roll with It

Sushi is a fun and interactive dining experience, ideal for couples who want to share and sample an assortment of flavors... Mostly raw fish.

Mexican: Spice Up Your Night

If you think variety is the spice of life, Mexican food is colorful, flavor-packed and fun. Nothing says "I love you" like an argument over whether or not multiple chips can still be considered a bite of nachos.

American: Comfort Food Favorite

In some cases, less is more. Wondering what type of restaurant serves American cuisine? American cuisine is comfort food at its best, so it’s laid-back and casual. I mean, who can say no to a juicy burger or a slice of apple pie?

Whatever you decide on, make your Valentine feel special. Even if that means ordering an extra side of fries just to share.
