What food trails can I take in Michigan?
Since there’s (almost) nothing better than a taco, we have created a handy Michigan Taco Trail that takes you to several Mexican restaurants from Taqueria Lupita’s in Detroit to Chela’s in Ann Arbor. You’ll have your fill of mouthwatering tacos from some of the best places. If you prefer to follow a sweeter food trail, follow along on our Detroit Donut Trail and satisfy your sweet tooth with these sticky, sugary fried treats. And we also have an Ice Cream Trail featuring shops in the Lower Peninsula. This trek will take you to places like Pinkie’s Ice Cream and Desserts in Grand Rapids and Sherman Dairy Bar in South Haven.
Where can I go for fine dining in Michigan?
Fine dining usually provides an experience in addition to the meal, from unique decor to artistic plating which can enhance the ambiance. Royal Eagle Fine Dining in Harper Woods is an eastern European restaurant located on the breathtaking grounds of a Russian Orthodox monastery and it exudes the experience of fine dining. The restaurant has limited hours and you will need to make reservations, and there is also a dress code but all your efforts to eat here will be rewarded with a delectable meal at this one-of-a-kind establishment. The Whitney in Detroit is located inside an iconic historic mansion with impeccable woodwork and decor, white linen tablecloths, and an air of sophistication. After your delectable meal, feel free to walk from room to room to take in the ambiance of what was once a private residence.
What are the most unique restaurants in Michigan?
There is an Edgar Allen Poe restaurant aptly named The Raven located in Port Huron. Whether you are a literary fanatic or not, a visit to this unique establishment will be one to remember. References to Poe’s literary works abound throughout from the decor to names of several menu items. Driving up to Grand Rapid’s Chez Olga you can’t help but become enchanted with the striking exterior. Not only does this eatery offers incredible Caribbean cuisine in a colorful atmosphere, but the building is an architectural gem.
