Bloomington Restaurants

Centered around Indiana University, Bloomington is a growing city deeply rooted in its Midwestern heritage while dealing with plenty of global influence. This dichotomy is easily seen in its restaurant scene, with all-American steaks and burgers sitting right next to a diverse set of ethnic cuisines. Of course, being a college town, Bloomington has a fair number of pubs, most offering the iconic Hoosier tenderloin sandwich and better-than-typical pub food. For something a bit more upscale, fine dining options focus on steak, Italian, Greek, and French foods. Plenty of affordable restaurants also feature Chinese, Italian, Thai, Mexican, Middle Eastern, and Greek cuisines. Surrounded by Indiana farmland, most restaurants source locally grown produce for their menus.
