Food Recs While in Town!
Macri's Italian Bakery
We promise you won't be disappointed!!! Both their food and desserts are absolutely phenomenal.
The Lauber
Always a solid recommendation for visitors. Come and enjoy elevated American cuisine in downtown South Bend.
CINCO International
Can't decide between Hispanic or Asian food? This Mexican-Thai fusion restaurant has it all.
Bruno's Pizza Downtown
Feeling like a quick bite to eat? Bruno's has the best pizza in town, and with multiple locations, it's always within a ten-minute drive :)
Legends
Alyssa and Rein's favorite date spot in college, located on Notre Dame's campus!
Crooked Ewe Brewery & Ale House
Alyssa passed this restaurant all the time growing up, but somehow did not actually eat there until she was 23. She is still sad she hadn't discovered their wonderful food sooner! It serves elevated American fusion-style cuisine and very quickly became one of her favorites.
Caracas Bistro
Amazing Venezuelan food and incredible desserts. Trust us, just look up their deluxe milkshakes.
Bowl of Pho
One of Alyssa's go-to restaurants. You can't make a wrong menu choice at this Vietnamese restaurant.
Papa Vino's Italian Kitchen
One of Rein's favorite restaurants in town. Their bread is to die for.
Zing Japanese Fusion
Alyssa highly recommends their sushi. You may also enjoy a lovely stroll along the Mischawaska Riverwalk afterward!
Jesús Latin Grill & Tequila Bar
One of Alyssa's favorites in high school. She highly recommends the cataplana at this Latin fusion restaurant along the Mishawaka riverwalk.
Paleteria Y Neveria La Rosita
Come here for a traditional Mexican ice cream shop with unique flavors like rice and carrot. Everything is made in the shop.
Murphy's Ice Cream Shoppe
Enjoy high-quality ice cream from a local shop right across from Notre Dame's campus! Alyssa was stunned the first time she tried their s'mores flavor.
