Lake Inez

$$$$ | Little India Fodor's Choice

This low-lit dining room—presided over by murals of Kate Bush and Virginia Woolf—is an east-end cult fave, thanks to its warm service and seasonal small plates. The compact seafood- and vegetable-heavy menu changes constantly, but you might find a seafood crudo or a sourdough slab heaped with seasonal produce alongside deconstructed tributes to childhood desserts.

Azura

$$$$ | Greektown

The most ambitious restaurant to call this part of town home is a warmly modern tasting-menu spot that draws from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors, Canadian ingredients, and fine-dining techniques. Plan for a couple of leisurely hours to experience the menu, which marries dukkah spice, za'atar, and pomegranate with foie mousse, Arctic char, and Iberico ham over a dozen well-considered, painstakingly plated small courses.
