Zoom in: To make the most out of your next Devour adventure, here are some of our favorite meals and deals on offer.
🐟 Best salmon
Dozens of menus feature a salmon entree but Vicino's stood out. It's served with grilled asparagus, purple mashed potatoes and an herb and caper beurre blanc.
- Three courses for $45/person
- Honorable mention: Delicia
🤑 Best splurge
Many of Indy's upscale restaurants are participating but we're most excited about Beholder, which is offering something akin to its tasting menu at a considerable discount.
- Choose salad or ceviche to start, a Turkish kebab and flatbread or blackened cod and finish with ice cream or sorbet for dessert.
- $49 (kebab)/$55 (cod) for the three courses
🍝 Best menu
Pretty much everything on the Nesso Italian Kitchen menu has us drooling, but crispy Brussels with a lemon-garlic aioli, bucatini cacio e pepe and basil panna cotta might be the winner.
- Three courses for $45/person or $75 with wine pairings
- Honorable mention: Livery, $30/person, three courses
🍤 Best menu (no dessert)
If you're not a dessert person, Devour doesn't feel like such a great deal when so many menus include one. Enter: Harry & Izzy's.
- The three-course menu includes a starter (and, yes, St. Elmo's famous shrimp cocktail is one of the choices), soup or salad and entree.
- $45-$69/person, depending on your entree choice
- Honorable mention: Diavola, $85, three-course dinner for two
💸 Best bang for your buck
It doesn't get any cheaper than Turner's. The dive bar is offering chips, a hot dog and drink for $12.
- We're getting the Miami Vice, a blend of frozen strawberry daiquiri and pina colada.
- Honorable mention: Upland, $40, three-course dinner for two
🍆 Best vegetarian
Bluebeard is another restaurant where everything sounds swoon-worthy, but the eggplant bolognese is one of the most exciting vegetarian dishes we saw among all the Devour menus. Pair it with the summer panzanella salad and the croissant pudding (double swoon).
- Three courses for $55/person
- Honorable mention: The Oakmont, $35/person, three courses
🍅 Best fried fruit posing as a vegetable
The fried green tomatoes at Grindstone Public House — topped with parmesan, parsley and chipotle ranch — are top-tier. Their inclusion in the restaurant's special means a trip to Noblesville might be in order.
- $55, three-course dinner for two
- Honorable mention: Grindstone on the Monon's $55, three-course dinner for two has a slightly different menu. But they share tomato recipes.
🍔 Best burger
The garlic three cheese burger from BRU Burger Bar is delicious and available across the city. Seven BRU locations are part of Devour Summerfest, but our favorite will always be Mass Ave.
- $20/person, two courses
- Honorable mention: 317 Burger, $25/person, three courses
🍜 Best ramen
The Sapporo-style noodles and broth at Ramen Ray are the best way to travel to Hokkaido without booking a plane ticket to Japan. Their deal also includes a can't-miss gyoza as a starter.
- $42 for two entrees, one order of gyoza and two desserts.
- Honorable mention: Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya, $25/person, two courses
