'Tis the season to explore local restaurants perfect for the holidays

The holidays are the perfect time of the year to reconvene with your loved ones at home, hosting and attending potlucks, ugly Christmas sweater parties as well as white elephant and secret Santa gift exchanges. While at-home holiday parties can be wonderful in the comfort of your home, they can almost always end in compiling a mountain of dishes in the sink.

Whether you’re preparing a roast or baking your family’s classic homemade apple pie, holiday baking and cooking can create unexpected havoc in the kitchen, leaving you in a rut for dinner during the holidays.  Leave the pile of dishes behind because ’tis the season to be jolly, and we want to provide you with some of the best local restaurants to celebrate the holidays with loved ones, havoc-free.

There are plenty of local restaurant options at the tip of your fingers to explore and enjoy. The Terre Haute local cuisine community offers everything from American, to Indian and everything in between! Many of these local stops also offer space for holiday office parties or family gatherings. Here are just a few of our favorite restaurants to share with you:

Alimentari - Bar Bosco
La Isla Mexican Restaurant
Piloni’s Italian Restaurant
Rick’s Smokehouse
The Saratoga
Stable’s Steakhouse
Taj Mahal
Umi Grill and Sushi Bar

If you do choose to stay in and do some holiday baking and cooking, we strongly encourage you to shop local and buy fresh ingredients. When cooking your classic Christmas day meal, Baesler’s Market on Poplar St. provides all ingredients necessary for your recipe as well as pre-made dishes that may be on the course lineup this year. Also, don't forget to add  Clabber Girl to your grocery list for all your baking needs like homemade cookie-making and decorating with your loved ones while trimming the tree!

To see a comprehensive list of all restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores we encourage you to visit the See You in Terre Haute website here.

This season in Terre Haute for holidays we want to make your experience simple and enjoyable. So, we hope you stay local and eat well with your loved ones this year.
