Best Places for Lunch this Lent

Good FridayImage by airnos via Flickr

A lot of people I know, and I'd wager you know, too, observe Lent in one way or another, even if they just give up meat on Fridays. Knowing this widespread tradition, it's more than a little irritating when fine dining menus offer almost no fish options. (For the 2nd week in a row, our regular Friday lunch haunt has given us only one hot option -- today, reducing one dining companion to soup and a salad.) So, what places and dishes do you recommend for Lent? Any particularly noteworthy specials that some chefs roll out for the tender six weeks of spring just before Easter?

I actually had a really nice piece of salmon at PF changs on Friday - it was one of their lunch bowls with brown rice and asparagus (which was overcooked).

Granted, most Indy restaurants are meat-centric, but there are a number of places with non-meat items offered during lent and throughout the week/year...
Broadripple Brew Pub has a few (and you have to get the beer cheese crock app)...Brugge has a portabello mushroom crepe...India Garden (and most Indian places) have a nice offering of vegetarian dishes...then there's Bazbeaux's for some interesting non-meat pizza's...oh, and what about falafel at somewhere like Mix 5...
