New Spring Menu at the Top Hat Restaurant in Downtown Missoula

Spring has arrived in Missoula, and with it comes a fresh lineup of bold, craveable dishes at Top Hat, one of the go-to restaurants in downtown Missoula for food, drinks, and live music.

Whether you’re stopping in for a laid-back lunch, grabbing dinner before a show, or meeting friends for happy hour, the new spring menu at Top Hat is packed with fresh flavors and new favorites worth trying.

For a shareable that stands out, the Persian Dip Duo pairs a roasted red pepper & walnut dip (finished with balsamic glaze) alongside a cool shallot & cucumber yogurt dip with mint, served with pita chips. It’s a perfect balance of rich and refreshing.

And of course, you can’t go wrong with Chicken Wings—served bone-in with your choice of cherry chipotle BBQ, hot honey lemon pepper, sweet orange sesame, or buffalo truffle hot sauce, plus ranch or bleu cheese on the side.

The Italian Chopped Salad brings together genoa salami, pepperoni, romaine, fresh mozzarella, marinated olives, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini, parmesan, and croutons, all tossed in an Italian red wine vinaigrette. It’s crisp, savory, and packed with classic flavors (with vegetarian and gluten-free options available).

Looking for the perfect vegetarian and gluten free option? The Mexican Street Corn Salad features fire-roasted sweet corn, cabbage slaw, chayote, green onion, cilantro, avocado, cotija, and crunchy tortilla strips with a creamy chile lime dressing—fresh, zesty, and full of texture.

The Big Wagyu Burger is exactly what it sounds like—a premium half-pound wagyu patty stacked with bacon, gruyère cheese, pepperoncini relish, cherry chipotle BBQ sauce, red wine caramelized onions, and garlic aioli on a pretzel bun. It’s rich, bold, and built to satisfy the hungriest of people.

If you’re a big fan of the longtime favorite Wisconsin Cheddar Burger, but the Wagyu beef sounds intriguing, feel free to substitute for a Wagyu patty!

For something a little different, the Braised Red Pork Noodle Bowl brings together red-braised pork, cold sesame vermicelli rice noodles, napa cabbage, carrot, cilantro, green onion, a fried spring roll, peanuts, and a bright nuoc cham dressing. It’s layered, refreshing, and packed with flavor (with a gluten-free option available).

Your new favorite sweet treat — the Huckleberry Pistachio Ice Cream Cake features layered huckleberry & pistachio almond ice cream, oreo cookie crust, pistachio whipped cream and raspberry glaze.

Yes, if you didn’t know, the Top Hat has a kids menu! And this newest addition might be the best dish yet — Fried Ravioli with Marinara Sauce & Parmesan. It was such a hit during our staff food tasting that several adults have been ordering it as small plate. No problem here!

Last but certainly not least, no meal at the Top Hat is complete without a great drink — whether you’re indulging in an alcoholic beverage or not.

Check out the new seasonal cocktails, NA mocktails and craft brews in addition to the usual bar offerings, including a large selection of beer, seltzers, wine, and liquor.

Plus, there’s plenty of Lake Missoula Tea, Black Coffee Roasting Co. coffee, and kombucha.

Happy Hour runs Tuesday – Saturday from 3-6pm featuring new menu additions alongside your go-to classics like Chicken & Waffles!
