Supino Pizzeria

Supino Pizzeria in Detroit's Eastern Market is some of the city's favorite pizza, and has even won several "Best Pizza" awards in the Metro Detroit area. The menu consists mainly of pizzas divided into two categories: red and white. Classic combinations like the Quattro Formaggio (four cheese) and Margherita mix with modern ones like the City Wing Thing with smoked turkey, smoked Gouda, chevre, feta and parsley to form a well rounded pizza menu.

Shangri-La - Midtown

Shangri-La is a restaurant in Detroit's Midtown that specializes in authentic and Americanized Chinese cuisine. Although Shangri-La does offer regular a la carte service which is popular, the main way to dine is Dim Sum. Get a table and watch as plates full of food pass by your table on carts ready for your selection. Particular favorites include the dumplings and the hot and sour soup made using black vinegar. Shangri-La also has a full bar including a good selection of sake.

Evie's Tamales

Easily the best food bargain in Detroit is this thoroughly unpretentious diner in the heart of Mexicantown. The best tamales in the state are churned out here. The choice of what you can put inside the steamed corn husk of the tamales includes spiced-just-right pork or chicken, beans or even fruit. The decor has only the bare essentials, but that deficiency is counter-balanced by solicitous service and an extensive menu beyond tamales, including steak and eggs, short ribs, menudo and botanas (generous chips, cheese and vegetables platters).

3454 Bagley Street, Detroit, MI, United States, 48216
The Cadieux Cafe

The headquarters of Belgian culture in Detroit, the Cadieux Café has one of the first feather bowling alleys in the United States. The bowling alleys are concave and players roll huge wooden wheels and try to land closest to a feather. Tucked away in a residential neighborhood on the East Side, the Cadieux Café is also famous for its fabulous mussels, which are served in more than six different ways. The rest of the menu is typical pub grub and Belgian dishes, and the Old World decor and cheery atmosphere provide a good taste of Belgian bonhomie. It is recommended to book bowling lanes in advance, but it's almost as much fun to watch the old-timers bowl as to play yourself.

4300 Cadieux Road, Between Mack and Warren, Detroit, MI, United States, 48224

The restaurant is quite small but cozy, and Noble Fish sells over 30 different types of ready-to-go sushi boxes.
