3 Restaurants You Should Not Miss in Broad Ripple
Canal Bistro ★ 4.5 Yelp

The ultimate neighborhood staple, with outstanding Mediterranean dishes like shawarma and mezza plates. The canal side patio is perfect for watching the ducks go by, and they happily accommodate mild spice, sauces on the side or well done proteins.🚶 .3 miles (7 minute walk) from our home
Mama Carolla's ★ 4.5 Yelp

Housed in a 1920s stucco villa, this is widely considered one of the most romantic and beloved restaurants in Indianapolis. Expect classic, traditional Italian fare in a warm, intimate setting, perfect for a special night out.🚶 1.2 miles (24 minute walk / 7 minute bike) from our home

Right on the canal, this is the definitive spot for a laid back Broad Ripple afternoon on the patio. The kitchen offers excellent non red meat and non fried options and is happy to leave off ingredients like pickled red onions or mixed greens from your order.🚶 .3 miles (6 minute walk) from our home
