Discover South Bend

Located on the southern-most bend of the St. Joseph River, South Bend has a restaurant scene that still remains true to its Hoosier roots. Pork tenderloins sandwiches are a staple on many menus. The traditional preparation can easily be found in corner diners with more modern takes on this staple in fine-dining establishments. Just across the river from the Notre Dame University, this town has its fair share of pubs and bars serving college favorites like hamburgers and pizzas. Ethnic cuisine has its place in South Bend with Italian, Greek, Mexican, and Thai being among the favorites. Breakfast is a staple for most locals and tourists with plenty of farm-fresh options available.
