The best Detroit restaurants to satisfy your hunger


Looking for the best Detroit restaurants and you're in town for a vacation? Or are you an everyday citizen who lives in Detroit? Going to all the attractions can tire you out and make you hungry and Detroit has a variety of restaurants (especially around Detroit Eastern market) for you to chose from if you're looking to go out to eat.

You may have restaurants in your hotel that you are staying in, but you may have eaten there already and plus there is too much variety in terms of food in the city that you will miss out on. I've been here for years and I can tell you all the best Detroit restaurants for you to satisfy your hunger. From places in Greektown Detroit to other areas of Downtown Detroit, these restaurants rank high in my book because of the quality of food, the service, and the overall experience. So how do I pick which restaurants make it into my guide? Check out my Detroit restaurant guide to find out. Also check my downtown Detroit restaurant page and my Detroit dance clubs for places to eat along with a bit of dancing. detroit restaurants

I think a guide is definitely necessary for people in town for a visit because they are new and to me, looking at a broad restaurant guide online doesn't give a personal feel. It's basically just a restaurant directory. I'm here to give you info ahead of time so you can get a feel of what to expect when you hear about these places or are looking for a nice restaurant to eat at.
