4 Best Restaurants in Detroit, Michigan
Each wave of immigrants to Detroit has made a culinary mark: You'll find soul food in the inner city, a vibrant Mexican community on the West Side, and Greek restaurants in Greektown. Detroiters often dine across the river in Windsor, Ontario, where a favorable rate of exchange makes for good values.
Big Fish
Chuck Muer's stylish fish emporium is a play on words, referring to both the menu and the automobile executives who frequent it. In addition to the plentiful fresh fish, you'll find excellent pastas, lamb, and steaks, all served in a clubby atmosphere decorated with—what else—big fish. Try the signature Charley's Chowder and the soft, steaming rolls. French doors lead to a brick patio with open-air dining.
Mon Jin Lau
This longtime favorite with its high, peaked ceilings, palms, and a soothing color scheme is the dressiest Asian restaurant in the metro Detroit area. The menu includes staples such as moo shu pork, General Tso's chicken, and a variety of sushi. Other choices include the inventive Singapore noodles—chicken, shrimp, chiles, and curry on angel-hair pasta—or seared sea scallops with corn-chili sauce.
