Detroit has plenty of unique places to go for great drinks, wonderful food, and entertainment. And great restaurants aren’t just about the food: they are about giving a full-on experience. They are about culture. We’re excited about the five restaurants, specializing in vegetarian options to Mediterranean and Italian fusion dishes. If you’re a foodie then you’ll want to add these five restaurants opening soon in Detroit to your bucket list.

  • Alpino Detroit

    Alpino Detroit has been gearing up for its highly anticipated grand opening later in 2023. On Instagram, the restaurant shared a sneak peek at the restaurant as well as their newly hired staff. Alpino is an Alps-inspired restaurant and wine bar opening in Corktown at 1426 Bagley, Detroit. They will feature European-influenced menu items. We’re looking forward to trying their German bread dumplings, served in a bowl of wild game broth topped with leek oil.  And we’ll follow that with their Alpine inspired Rosette cookie topped with apple butter, apple relish, and a scoop of Michigan’s Guernsey ice cream.

  • Pop’s Corner Café and Market

    Pop’s Corner Café and Market is a community market, kitchen, and café coming soon to McDougall Hunt, Detroit. It is located at 2740 Mt. Elliot. They are hoping to open later this year the soon-to-be restaurant recently shared on social media that they are experiencing structural issues and have been set back with scheduling. The space was previously a liquor store named after its former owner “Pops.” He was well-known in the area and passed from COVID-19 complications last year.
