Best Restaurants in Detroit

118 restaurants analyzed out of 1993 identified · United States

Detroit's food story runs through its immigrant and Black communities - Dearborn's Lebanese and wider Arab restaurants are the single strongest thread, Mexicantown anchors the Mexican cooking on the southwest side, and soul food remains a working tradition rather than a revival. Downtown and Corktown carry the newer wave of steakhouses, cocktail bars and chef-driven American cooking that followed the city's redevelopment. Coney-island counters, diners and barbecue fill the everyday layer. Prices range from budget counter service to expensive downtown dining rooms, with the moderate middle being where most of the everyday eating happens.

Detroit has 118 analyzed restaurants. Some of the strongest areas for dining are Woodbridge, Downtown, Corktown. Top cuisines include American, Italian, Pizza.
