🥂 Brunch goals, unlocked.

Located in downtown Boise, Stardust combines a fun, eclectic mid-century modern design with a thoughtful menu full of brunch, lunch, and craft cocktails.

It’s a stylish and comfortable spot to catch up with friends or enjoy sunny day on their sunny downtown patio.

🍳 The menu features elevated takes on familiar favorites like their Brioche French Toast, Chicken and Waffles, and traditional eggs benedict, and a rich Croque Madame.

🍸 Their cocktail menu is thorough with plenty of options for everyone. I believe it’s the only place in Boise where you can get a Lobster Bloody Mary! 🦞

It’s a great option for a weekday lunch stop, weekend brunch, or evening drinks, complete with an excellent downtown patio for a brunch date.

🇲🇽 ✨ Did you know you can find an authentic taste of Mexico, right in Garden City?

From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed with warmth inspired by Plaza Garibaldi in Mexico City.

Every dish at .gc is made from scratch and packed with bold flavors, like sizzling fajitas, handmade tortillas, rich moles, refreshing margaritas, and craft cocktails.

On top of that, the service was some of the best I’ve had in the Boise area. I highly recommend the fajitas with an impressive portion of steak and the churro wheel if you have a family to satisfy with dessert. The molcajete was so bold and flavorful I can’t wait to try it again. 🤤

✨ Why locals love Garibaldis:

• Family-owned passion rooted in Mexican tradition
• Fresh, authentic flavors crafted with care
• Every day buy-one-get-one happy hour on drinks $14 and under
• Daily lunch specials, and the perfect place for family, friends, or date night

📍 5697 N Glenwood St, Garden City
🕒 Open daily

Follow .gc to learn more. Have you tried Garibaldis?
