There’s no denying that Montana is a gorgeous state (and the envy of most of the Western U.S.). And it isn’t hard to find a restaurant that offers stunning views. That being said, you won’t find anything quite like Schafer’s Restaurant in Bigfork. Between its gorgeous views of Flathead Lake, delicious food, and reasonable prices, it’s safe to say this place is in a league of its own.
Schafer’s Restaurant is owned by Rob Wink and David May, two Montanans who love good food and a great atmosphere.
