Culinary connoisseurs rejoice! The following foodie spots make Highland Park, MI and surrounding areas hotspots for a memorable dining experience.
1. Lanette’s Shrimp House
Starting at noon on most days, 13548 Woodward Ave. is the premier destination for foodies that love fare from the high seas. Fried shrimp is a must-try, as are the perch, catfish, and orange roughy fish dishes. You can even get your seafood fix in a pasta salad. Diners who’d rather keep their appetites on land still have plenty of options, from the unique turkey tacos to mouthwatering selections of soul food.
The popular Miley & Miley Shrimp Shack has been reborn, and takeout has never tasted better. You’ll have plenty of room for all your carryout food with the Dodge Durango. This spacious SUV boasts over 80 cubic feet of cargo space and plentiful storage areas up-front. Plus, the up-to seven available leather seats provide a comfortable and stain-resistant environment for eating on the go.
2. All Things Marketplace
Detroit is the place to be for Foodie Fridays. The city’s 1620 Michigan Ave.-based All Things Marketplace has two new small business food specialists on the scene and ready to serve every Friday during the summer. You might enjoy soft and sweet baked goods one week while indulging in a hot bowl of home-made chili and a delicious artisan sandwich the next.
New tasty surprises await regularly. And during the rest of the year, you can pick up unusual and customer favorite snacks at the marketplace.
3. Detroit Fine Dining
The Detroit metropolitan area is home to one of the state’s most famed dining destinations: Chartreuse Kitchen. The offbeat decor inside will immediately draw your attention. But the undisputed star attraction is that menu decked out with inventively blended ingredients direct from local farms. Dinner or dessert, you’ll enjoy true Detroit cuisine. Meanwhile, don’t miss authentic Detroit-style pizza at Buddy’s Pizza regional locations. Or join the battle for hot dog supremacy at friendly rivals American or Lafayette Coney Island.
If you’re a fan of international cuisine, Italian and Mexican are likely high atop your list. At 3710 Junction St., you’ll get the best of both worlds in one lip-smacking locale: El Barzon Restaurante. Classically trained chefs deliver a white cloth traditional dining experience, complete with beautiful patio views if you wish. When your tastebuds get acquainted with Pollo El Barzon, Mole Pablano Con Pollo, Ravioli Di Aragosta, or the dozens of other premium dishes, they’ll be eager for more.
4. Vinsetta Garage
This garage is not your typical auto storage unit, yet the Berkley original 27799 Woodward Ave pitstop does seamlessly merge this region’s rich car heritage with great eats. Fun auto themes fill every corner of the inside, and inside the kitchen the real magic happens. Customer favorites include a 3 AM burger and a mac-and-cheese dish that’ll make you a believer all over again in this childhood delight.
