Cafe Kandahar is a fine dining restaurant with an award-winning wine list. Chef and Owner Andy Blanton trained in Baton Rouge and worked in New Orleans before coming to the Flathead Valley. He has been honored by a James Beard nomination for "Best Chef: Northwest", by Frommer's Guide naming Cafe Kandahar as one of two best restaurants in their Montana & Wyoming guide and by being chosen as the People's Choice at the 2010 Taste of Whitefish. The underlying concept of Cafe Kandahar, the motto which drives each decision made in the restaurant, the motif woven into the fabric of each dish is "thoughtfully constructed cuisine". Each menu item is designed keeping in mind both the seasonality and locality of the ingredients. We believe in working with area farmers to provide our guests with the finest goods harvested in their peak of freshness. We employ creative techniques and apply attention to detail throughout the entire process. No dish is complete without careful consideration of flavors, textures, and appearances of each component, as well as the affect each has on the other. Part of our menu changes each evening so that we can take advantage of these seasonal goods as they become available. One component of the nightly offerings is the Chef"s Tasting Menu, written using the freshest ingredients on hand and combining them to create tantalizing flavors. The Chef's Tasting consists of five small plates carefully paired with wines, each course flowing into the other with seamless perfection to provide the quintessential dining experience.
