Menus are now live for Devour Indy Winterfest 2026, giving diners across central Indiana an early look at more than 175 restaurants participating in the city’s premier dining event. 

Presented by AAA Hoosier, Devour Indy Winterfest runs from Monday, Jan. 19 through Sunday, Feb. 1, inviting residents and visitors to explore Indianapolis’ culinary scene through specially priced, multi-course menus offered at restaurants throughout the region. 

According to organizers, Winterfest highlights a wide range of dining experiences, including lunch and dinner prix fixe options, family-friendly meals, date-night destinations and upscale dining. Participating restaurants represent cuisines from around the world, including steakhouse fare, vegan offerings and globally inspired menus. 

Just ahead of the event, Devour Indy also launched a fully redesigned DevourIndy.com, featuring improved navigation, enhanced search tools and expanded filters designed to make menu browsing easier. Diners can now search restaurants by location, price point, cuisine type and ownership designation, including filters for women-owned and minority-owned businesses. 

“Menus are now live, and reservations are strongly encouraged,” organizers said in the announcement.

Supporting local, Black-owned and women-owned businesses 

Each participating restaurant’s menu page includes self-reported designations, such as women-owned or minority-owned, allowing diners to intentionally support diverse restaurant ownership during the two-week event. Organizers say the upgraded website was designed in part to make those searches more accessible. 

Participating minority-owned restaurants include: 

  • Thai Kitchen Restaurant 
  • Jasmine Thai Restaurant 
  • Thai Select Restaurant 
  • Brozinni Pizzaria 
  • Ten Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse 
  • Serliana 
  • And more

  • Flatiron at the Point on Penn 
  • Ash and Elm Cider Co. 
  • Iaria’s Restaurant 
  • Juniper on Main 
  • Diavola 
  • Mama Carolla’s 
  • Hoagies and Hops 

Devour Indy is produced by the Indiana Restaurant & Lodging Association and is intended to support locally owned restaurants while encouraging residents to explore new dining destinations across Indianapolis and surrounding communities. 

What diners can expect 

In addition to special menus, Winterfest 2026 features the Official Cocktail of Devour Indy, The Alchemist, crafted with Citadelle Gin and available at The Alchemist. Organizers say the cocktail was designed to pair with Devour Indy menus throughout the event. 

Winterfest offerings include: 

  • More than 175 participating restaurants across greater Indianapolis 
  • Specially priced prix fixe menus, often available for lunch and dinner 
  • A mix of casual, family-friendly, date-night and upscale dining options 
  • Tools to explore menus by cuisine, neighborhood and ownership type
