Part of the Grassroots Restaurant Group, Little Grouse on the Prairie has been known for its exquisite Italian cuisine and its rustic-but-sophisticated ambience. Diners can choose from the menu, but the best way to experience Little Grouse’s food is to order the four- or seven-course alla famiglia option, which offers a delicious sampling of the entire menu.

Dishes range from a plate of bacon and eggs to the Ukrainian Brekkie and the refreshing Mediterranean Bowl. Throw in a honey lemon margarita and you’ve got yourself a proper weekend brunch.

Warning: Browsing the menu of Bannock Express will cause instant hunger pangs. Owner Rachel Smith moved to a new location in 2022 to accommodate her growing business, and it’s easy to see why when you try one of her breakfast sandwiches or chef specials. Her bannock-centric meals are satisfying and delicious.
