Cafe Farina
Highly recommend this Italian restaurant right in downtown Michigan City! We also LOVE its sister restaurant - Farina's Supper Club - which is a 10 minute drive from Blue Chip Casino. You'll need a reservation at both. If you're craving a different cuisine nearby, please also check out some of our other favorites: - Brix Tasting Room for wine/charcuterie/tavern pizza - Public Royale for burgers - Leads Public House or Fiddlehead for traditional American - Hokkaido for sushi - Fish Camp right by the harbor
Zorn Brew Works Co.
It would be crazy of us to not list off a brewery! Zorn has great beer, cocktails, and food. There are plenty of other breweries in the area and in New Buffalo, Michigan (15 minute drive from Blue Chip Casino). Go confess your sins at Beer Church Brewing which has incredible Neapolitan pizza! Ghost Isle Brewery is another great one.
Shady Creek Winery
We LOVE Shady Creek!!! A great place for a wine tasting, good food, and live entertainment.
