Downtown Hamtramck is where the neighbourhood's long reputation for eating well on a budget is most concentrated, built around the Jos. Campau Avenue stretch of honest Polish and Eastern European cooking. From pierogi and kielbasa to Yemeni and Bangladeshi spots that reflect the neighbourhood's layered immigrant history, the range here is wider than the block count suggests. Prices are low without feeling like a compromise, making it easy to eat well across several meals without spending much at all.
