The rankings are based on Hoosier reviews of businesses in the site’s Food or Restaurant category. The owner of Goose The Market in Indianapolis, which ranks fourth on the list, says Indiana has been a good place to enter the often-risky restaurant business. Chris Eley says Hoosiers are a customer base that embrace "unique concepts, restaurants and breweries."
Indianapolis restaurants took the top five spots, and nine of the top 10. Bosphorus Cafe, Thai Recipies Restaurant, Vida, Goose The Market and Tinker Street topped the list. Stacks Bar and Grill in Valparaiso is the only non-Indianapolis restaurant to make the top 10.
In an interview with Inside INdiana Business, Eley says Visit Indy’s work continues to be a valuable asset for his and other Indianapolis restaurants. He says the organization’s work to attract conventions brings in an important customer base. Eley says the restaurant community repays that favor by making the city more attractive to site selectors.
