Reviews of Cafe Kandahar (Restaurant)

Rodney Rickard

Went to Cafe Kandahar for a nice dinner with my family and I couldn't be more disappointed. We did the three courses and only one was even edible. The salad was just awful couldn't even eat it. However the elk was good, not great just good. When the desserts came and I had raw dough in my rhubarb cobbler I knew I would never be back. The quality of the food and service here are horrendous. If you want a nice dinner I would reconsider and find someplace else.

This place is incredible! Every time we go and everything we try...it's perfect. It's like Gary Danko in SF as far as unique flavorful dishes, but with far smaller prices. They have a fantastic tasting menu, including a vegan tasting menu, along with great choices including quail, elk roulade, beef, and lamb. They have tasty salads, wines, and a full bar as well. Chef Andy is famous for a reason, and once you come it will be a place you can't wait to get back to. Although their food is upscale, it is inviting and great for families as well as nice dates. This is Whitefish's best kept secret and every time we are in town we must go!

The wine steward is wonderful. She is very detailed in her knowledge about wine and loves to engage with guests. However, towards the end of my meal I spilled a glass of water onto myself and no one responded. No employees offered me napkins or my jacket to help dry me off or keep me warm in the air conditioned restaurant, by which I became extremely cold and started to shiver. The food presentation is thoughtfully put together. Cafe Kandahar does not serve a large proportion, but the perfect amount to fill one’s stomach. Each meal has a delicate flavor as well which is good and bad depending on which dish you order. Personally I do not want my steak to have a light and delicate sauce. Steak should pack a punch! However, the soup should have a light texture and taste.

Always amazed at what comes out of that kitchen! Fine dining at another level with creativity and panache! This chef is a great gift to Montana.

This is a 5 star dining experience. The chef takes his time to make everything exactly right. Beautiful presentation, and extreme flavor in every single bite. We each ordered the 3 course and a couple drinks. Everything was distinct and delicious!!

Our server, Caitlin, was fantastic. The food was worthy of a Michelin star or two. It's the second time I've been and it was as fabulous as I remembered from last year.

Delicious place to eat when you have spent a day on the slopes. A tradition when we go to Whitefish.

Jennifer Smith

We went for the 4 course tasting menu with wine pairings. I had the pork belly, foie gras, socca crepe, and huckleberry tart. It was the best meal I have had in Whitefish. The wine pairings were creative and interesting. It was the best.

Great food!

We ordered from the bar and ate a light dinner outside on the side patio, surrounded by blooming garden plants. The cocktails were inventive and our waitstaff (who doubled as the barkeep!) was friendly and energetic. I'm not the fan of elk meat that I imagined I would be, but otherwise the food was great. I doubt there is a lovelier setting with fine dining on the mountain.

I hosted my birthday dinner here and was absolutely blown away with the meal we had. There are many entree choices and we sampled many of them. Every single one of our dinners was exceptional and all of us agreed this dinner was probably the best we have ever had. We have eaten at many fine, highly acclaimed restaurants along the west coast but the Kandahar surpasses all! The chef has a talent for creating fresh, unique cuisine that has amazing flavor, and style. The cafe's ambiance and location add to the experience! We all agreed that the Cafe is something special and we plan to return often. I highly recommend everything on the rotating menu for an experience you will not forget!!
