Holiday Dining 2026
Six local restaurants to make every gathering feel like a special occasion.
Between office parties, family dinner and friends you’ve been promising to see since summer, December’s calendar fills quickly. This year’s holiday dining guide gathers six restaurants, from Zionsville and Carmel to downtown Indianapolis, ready to host all of it. Some have private rooms sized for a company celebration, while others are better suited to a table for two after an afternoon of holiday shopping.
Expect seasonal menus and holiday cocktails, along with a few longtime favorites that never leave the menu. Book early, raise a glass, and let someone else handle the dishes.
