Restaurants & Food in Metro Detroit

Metro Detroit eats along a few long avenues rather than in one downtown: Livernois through the Avenue of Fashion, Woodward from Midtown out to Ferndale, Gratiot and East Warren on the east side, and Michigan Avenue heading southwest. Soul food, Creole, East African and izakaya kitchens all sit within a short drive of each other. Parking is easy by big-city standards and many of these rooms keep shorter Sunday and Monday hours, so check before you set out.
