An eclectic cafe in Hamilton, Montana
Good food, close to home.

Lunch and dinner on South 1st Street, with Hamilton Packing Co. beef, Le Petit Outre bread, Big Creek coffee, and Montana beer on tap.
Reservations recommended. Our dining room is small and tables fill up, especially at dinner. Give us a call to hold a table.
Our story
A gourmet oasis in the Bitterroot.
Spice of Life cooks the way the valley eats: generous, and sourced from neighbors. The beef comes from Hamilton Packing Co., the coffee from Big Creek, and there is always a real choice of seafood and vegetarian dishes.
Every tap is a Montana brewery.
