THIS UPSCALE market, fish counter, and butcher shop also boasts one of Indy’s best sandwich menus. Three sandwiches—the ham and mozzarella Goose, the worrisomely named three-meat Batali, and the vegetarian or vegan Gander (mozzarella, romaine, pickled onions, and giardiniera)—are always on the chalkboard menu, while two or three more day-to-day chef’s specials are listed below (the menu is posted daily to their website).

There’s usually a soup of the day, too, and a kid’s grilled cheese is always on offer. Every generously sized sandwich is made with attention to quality ingredients and a smart balance of flavors—this is not a hoagie where you’re chewing through dough and iceberg to get to the good stuff. The market has plenty of drinks and sweets to accompany your meal, as well as indoor and outdoor seating if you can’t wait to get home to tear in.
