The 38 Best Restaurants in Detroit, Spring 2025 | Eater Detroit
"The Congregation lives up to its name as one of the best destinations for Detroiters to gather with friends or colleagues, no matter the occasion. The beautifully restored church features a spacious outdoor deck and yard seating, which on Thursday evenings during warmer months becomes the spot to be seen (and to dance). People coming to dine can expect a food menu that ranges from breakfast bagels, pastries from local bakeries, and salads to flatbreads, soups, and shareable dips, along with a variety of coffee beverages and seasonal specials, as well as wine, boozy coffee drinks, mocktails, hard ciders, and beer. Leaning into its role as a third place, the Congregation also hosts food trucks, a farmers market, support groups, yoga classes, and other community-oriented events. Vibe check: When the warmer months arrive, the lawn here becomes home to House Night, where the space is transformed into a makeshift dance floor and gathering space featuring DJs and a rotation of food vendors." - Serena Maria Daniels
