Rupert’s, McCall

Rupert’s, tucked away in the Hotel McCall, is a high end restaurant that knows how to take fusion and creativity to the next level. But the waterfront views of the gorgeous patio is worth a visit on its own! Pictured: Oven roasted ling cod with a sweetcorn morel hash and a morel cream sauce.

Address: 1101 N 3rd St. McCall, ID 83638

Vintage, Ketchum

Vintage Restaurant/Facebook Hidden away in its own secret garden, this lush dining spot is not only beautiful, the food here is as well! The main cabin is gorgeously rustic, but the fresh, Instagram-worthy, delicious fare is locally-sourced and absolutely divine.

Address: 231 Leadville Ave, Ketchum, ID 83340

Lee L/Yelp

Shiloh F/Yelp Gourmet “lite bites,” delicious sandwiches, and a huge selection of wine gives this itty bitty bistro the tasty cuisine that brings people back. But the welcoming patio and deck seating has a cozy backyard feel that will seem miles away from the hustle and bustle of McCall’s downtown.

Address: 1101 N 3rd St, McCall, ID 83638

CK’s Real Food, Hailey

Management/TripAdvisor

CK’s Real Food/Facebook It’s fitting that a restaurant tucked away the gorgeous Wood River Valley and that prides itself on locally-sourced and homegrown ingredients would be all about vibrant, outdoor ambiance as well! Dine surrounded by idyllic natural beauty, either from the cozy comfort of CK’s charming cabin or outside amongst the fresh foliage in this locally-sourced gem.

Address: 320 S Main St. Hailey, ID 83333

Slice and Biscuit, Moscow

Slice and Biscuit/Facebook Unexpected cuisine and flavor combinations find an unexpectedly beautiful setting at Slice and Biscuit. Much on your biscuits and pizza in this lovely, asian-inspired outdoor space - which offers plenty of privacy as well.

Address: 125 E 2nd St, Moscow, ID 83843

The Shady Nook, Salmon

Management/Yelp For casual eats in one of the cutest small towns in Idaho, the Shady Nook is a classic. But you’ll have no trouble finding this “nook” of Salmon to be as lovely and charming as a summer BBQ at the neighbors’ place – thick grass, outdoor heaters, and maybe even a few wildlife visitors are all there to add to the small town vibe!

Address: 501 Riverfront Dr, Salmon, ID 83467

Hilltop Station, Boise
