When the newly built Blue Gate Restaurant & Bakery opened it doors on August 4th, 2001 in Shipshewana, the entire town was invited over for dinner. As one of Indiana's largest restaurants, the Blue Gate comfortably seats 600 (more than the town's population). Built from the ground up over the last year, the Blue Gate resembles a rambling white farmhouse, similar to those that dot the surrounding Amish coutnryside. The restaurant takes its name from an Amish folktale about romance and a blue-painted gate and has been a longstanding fixture in the Amish community, having operated previously from two much smaller building in the heart of Shipshewana.
