Talk about a hidden gem!
There’s nothing more delicious than fresh, locally-sourced cuisine, served farm-to-table. But how about tantalizing dishes flavored, seasoned, and garnished with produce and herbs grown just a few feet from your dining table? At Boise’s largest downtown garden shop, that’s exactly what shoppers and hungry diners are treated to… and the explosions of fresh flavors are absolutely divine. Not to mention the creative twists on classic Idaho dishes!
With spring in full swing, this is the perfect place to enjoy all of the crisp, vibrant goodness of loyal to local cuisine done to perfection.
From the outside, this downtown shop looks just like any other garden center: rich green yard plants fill the grounds, enchanting fountains inspire and soothe...

But step inside and the beautiful architecture and high-end decor will transport you to a fine bistro straight out of a magazine.
Here, the aromas of fresh-made eats are hard to resist.
The unexpected dining area and coffee counter is nestled amongst the living ferns and hanging baskets. The freshness of the plant-purified air will make every dish taste even better!
Start with brunch (and the thickest French Toast you've ever seen in your life!).
The bread is, of course, locally baked by one of Boise's finest.
Lunches and dinners are perhaps even more delectable, however!
Fresh Highland beef is one of 36th Street Bistro's specialties, found in everything from tantalizing French dip sandwiches to marinated beef tip dishes.
But regardless of your entree of choice, every dish is artfully paired with a delicious wine.
Of course, local beers are always on tap as well.
New and creative dishes are always being crafted in the kitchen, and are typically just as lovely as they are delicious!

For some, the biggest draw to this hidden gem might just be the splendid patio, which feels like an upscale backyard retreat.
Dining in the company of dozens of bubbling fountains? Exhilarating!
And at night when the patio lights kick on, and the fresh summer breeze is ruffling the leaves? Absolute perfection.
It's the perfect dining getaway as the weather starts to warm up!
