While visiting Detroit, we ate at several amazing restaurants, which is one of our favorite things to do together. Andrew is a chef, so it’s always fun for us to try new things together, and I love finding restaurants with beautiful interiors. It’s a great way to get a “taste” for the local flavor and vibe of the locals. In this blog post, I wanted to highlight the restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops we ate at while visiting “motor city”.

Cafe Prince

We grabbed breakfast at Cafe Prince in Core City before heading to Eastern Market on our last day in Detroit. The space is very modern and contemporary with artsy vibes. I loved the Motown music they were playing! We had a few of their avocado toasts, which were so good, a pastry, and lattes. There is a courtyard area and several other restaurants next door in this industrial area. It’s a cool little spot to check out!

Bar Pigalle

We had a beautiful dinner at Bar Pigalle in midtown on our second day in Detroit. They offer a French-inspired cuisine which Andrew was very excited to try (he’s a chef)! We both had amazing cocktails and shared their crab cakes, duck, and a pasta dish. I loved the duck and the crab cake was Andrew’s favorite. The interiors felt very Art Decor and almost whimsical. Combined with the music they were playing, the restaurant had a very cool ambience. Again, the staff was so patient with us with our little Sage!

Presley’s Kitchen & Bar

We had an absolutely fabulous brunch at Presley’s Kitchen & Bar in downtown Detroit on our first morning with mimosas, pancakes, and more. Sage was in a bit of a bad mood that morning because he hadn’t gotten any sleep the night before, but the staff were very patient with us. Everything was delicious, and the interiors were beautiful. It felt very modern yet retro at the same with some vintage, art decor style elements. Be sure to pop over to the David Whitney hotel next door, which was beautiful!

Folk

This brunch restaurant, Folk, was just down the street from the hotel we stayed at, Trumbull & Porter in Corktown. We walked over for a quick lunch before exploring the local boutiques in that area. It’s a small space but the aesthetic is super cute. It’s like part cafe, part market! They had an amazing selection of wine you could purchase as well. Andrew ordered us this asparagus sandwich which I would have never thought to order, but it was so good.

Anthology Coffee

While exploring the Eastern Market neighborhood, we stopped by Anthology Coffee for an afternoon latte. It had a very modern feel to it with contemporary art in an industrial setting. They also had a selection of pastries which we didn’t get to try. If you are in that area, I would recommend this spot!
