The Larder
A Monthly Exploration Of Montana’s Landscape
A monthly five-course tasting menu that begins with a Montana place, season, or ingredient. Each dinner brings the work of the people who grow, raise, forage, and make our food to the table.
01. The Land
Every series begins with a place, season, ingredient, or landscape that helps define Montana and the abundance it provides.
02. The People
Farmers, ranchers, foragers, millers, makers, and guests come together to share the knowledge, work, and traditions that shape each story.
03. The Experience
Through a five-course journey, those places, people, and stories are brought to the table as a tribute to Montana’s landscape and the individuals who help shape it.
The Gatherings
Moments Built Around Food, Place, And People
Producer dinners, seasonal celebrations, and private gatherings bring people together at BENNY’S. Each menu takes shape with our kitchen and follows what’s in season.
01. Community
Open tables, seasonal celebrations, and events designed to bring Helena together.
02. Occasions
Wine dinners, featured guests, seasonal celebrations, and one-time experiences shaped by the moment and the people around it.
03. Private
Private dinners for up to 20 guests in the Larder Room, or up to 60 in the Hearth and the Gathering Room. Each menu is planned with our kitchen, shaped by what is in season.
The Register
A Living Journal Of Montana
Each season leaves its mark. The Register documents the farms, ranches, orchards, rivers, forests, grains, and people shaping the food we serve and the stories we tell. Every entry becomes another page in an ongoing journal of Montana’s landscape and the individuals who help define it.
If you are a Montana farmer, rancher, forager, miller, maker, or producer interested in being considered for The Register, we would be glad to hear from you.
Our Story
Rooted in Montana. Crafted with intention
The restaurant at 108 East 6th Avenue changed hands in August 2026. Derrick Quandt took over as owner, Chef Panayotis Tzinis runs the kitchen, and we reopened for dinner that September. Much of what we cook comes from Montana farms and ranches, and the menu changes when the season does. Fire and preservation do the rest.
At BENNY’S, we cook with what our Montana partners bring us and preserve what the season gives in abundance. The menu changes as their work and the land change.
Derrick Quandt
Owner
Stewarding the next chapter of Benny’s with a commitment to hospitality, community, and long-term relationships throughout Montana.
Panayotis Tzinis
Executive Chef
Guiding the culinary vision through seasonality, preservation, and close collaboration with Montana’s farmers, ranchers, foragers, millers, and makers.
