Finding a great place to eat in Carmel isn’t hard, but settling on just one is a tough decision.

Dining in the Arts & Design District is an experience everyone should have more than once. Grab a table along the Monon Trail and you’ll encounter al fresco dining at its best. Treat yourself to an ice cream cone or sweet treat and wander down Main Street in Old Town Carmel. Better yet, dine on gourmet pizza at locally-owned restaurant or stop at the butcher shop to pick up a choice cut for the grill.

Want to cap off a day of shopping with a great meal? Clay Terrace has it all from upscale dining to familiar chains. Fill up with fresh-brewed coffee and breakfast specialties to get you started. Or cap off a day of shopping with a great meal of seafood or chops, sushi or pasta.

Traveling to or from Indianapolis? Take a break for breakfast, lunch or dinner on the northside of Indy for a great meal - you’ll find everything from salads to sandwiches, omelets to steaks. And Merchants Square is just the place for a casual meal of pizza and salad.

You don’t have to look far for a culinary experience that’s sure to please in Carmel.
