Brought friends to Proximo for lunch. We all picked different items - soup & grilled cheese, the Cubano sandwich with potatas, the Salmon Cakes Benedict...everything arrived hot and ready to devour. Service with Jarod was perfect and he was very adept at creating a fun atmosphere. Will definitely eat there again.

I love Rize in Carmel. They are truly a special place for the food and the service. I don’t know how they’ve managed to find such great staff but it never disappoints.

About the restaurant

Chefs Josh Kline and Zoë Taylor bring vibrant, progressive American cuisine and freshly baked pastries to life at Borage. Located just a short walk from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, this café, bakery, and market works hand-in-hand with local Indiana farms to craft unique dishes, from reimagined classics to innovative options for both meat lovers and vegetarians.

Settle into the relaxed, diner-style café for a flavorful meal, or unwind in the market with a fresh pastry and a coffee beverage. The market is perfect for meeting friends, working remotely, or having a quick business meeting over a latte. You’ll also find fresh, locally-farmed meats and produce, and unique spices and products you won’t get at big-box stores.

After just a few months of being open, Borage was recently named to the Indianapolis Monthly Best Restaurants 2024 list. Come experience Borage for yourself and see why.
