When I arrived in South Bend ten years ago, there weren't too many nice restaurants in town, but that has changed dramatically --- the area is filled with lovely places to eat out, some fairly low-key, some that would stand up alongside high-end places in the bigger cities, and some in the middle. In various posts I'll be highlight some of these individually, but today I want to point out an opportunity to have a nice meal at some of the higher-end places, without crashing the budget.
Restaurant Week happens twice a year, usually for about two weeks each time (!), and entails a dozen or so of the better places in South Bend offering a reduced-price special menu (usually a subset of the regular menu; portions aren't smaller!).
For example, you can have three courses at Cafe Navarre, housed in an historic downtown bank, or at the classic steakhouse La Salle Grill for just $33; or for $22 you can sample a variety of tapas at Tapasterie, a recent and much-welcomed addition to the downtown dining scene.
This year's Winter Restaurant week is going on now until February 5. It's a great opportunity to explore the South Bend dining scene, especially at the upper end ('though lots of casual places participate too). You can see menus here.
How to you get to downtown South Bend? Transpo, the local public transit system, will bring you there *for free* from campus!!! See here for details.
