Provo City is home to Brigham Young University where the gateway of the university states, “the world is our campus”. Historical Downtown Provo supports this idea of a worldwide culture through its diversity of restaurants. Even walking along Provo Center Street and up University Avenue you will see a number of restaurants representing different parts of the world. There’s a restaurant serving foods native to Peru next door to a Salvadorian restaurant and Japanese steakhouse. Neighborhood sandwich shops surround Italian, Indian, Chinese and Mexican restaurants. There are gelato cafes, pizzerias, hamburger and BBQ grills, a Korean restaurant down the street from a hot pot shop; a mocktail lounge for non-alcoholic drinkers, and a new farm to table restaurant supporting local and seasonal harvest. Provo city has often been nicknamed “the bubble” but this seemingly small minded town boasts a surprisingly widespread food culture enjoyed by every nationality.
