Midtown's restaurant scene is mostly small and independent, packed into the blocks along South Virginia Street between downtown and Plumb Lane, with a few more on Wells Avenue. What stands out is the range: within a short walk you'll find Thai, Japanese, Mexican, Indian, Chinese and American kitchens, plus quick spots for a slice late at night.
Below is a selection from our Midtown restaurant listings, grouped loosely by what each place serves. We describe each spot only by what's in its listing (type of food, location and listed amenities), so click through for the address, map and hours, and check the restaurant's own site for menus.

Getting around Midtown
Midtown is easiest on foot. Park on a side street east or west of Virginia and walk; the restaurants above are spread over roughly a mile. Weekend evenings are the busiest time, when the bars along Virginia fill up too.
Pair dinner with a stop at one of Midtown's galleries, vintage shops or bars, or start the day at one of the cafés in our Midtown coffee guide. The neighborhood page lists every Midtown business we have, by category.
Why Midtown works for a group dinner
Because so many cuisines sit side by side, Midtown is an easy answer when a group can't agree on dinner. Several of the spots above list takeout or delivery, so you can also mix and match from a couple of kitchens for a night in. Lunch is usually calmer than dinner, and weeknights are quieter than Fridays and Saturdays.
Most Midtown restaurants are small, so for larger groups it's worth calling ahead to ask about space and wait times rather than walking in at peak hours.
