The 38 Best Restaurants in Detroit, Spring 2025 | Eater Detroit

"Detroit’s legendary late-night crowd is at the front of mind at this vibey Eater Award-winning bar and restaurant. Featuring a moody, black aesthetic, equally dramatic lighting, a DJ booth, and an outdoor fire pit for the summer months, the space is meant for winding gatherings with friends over culturally relevant bites and cocktails. The kitchen is helmed by chef and owner Javier Bardauil of Argentina, who also owns the swanky Barda across the street, and offers a love letter to the cuisines of Latin America. Find sandwiches here like the Uruguayan chivito topped with a fried egg and choripán or a traditional Argentinian pork sausage garnished with fragrant chimichurri — both served on crusty, rustic baguettes. The restaurant also offers a ceviche bar featuring aguachile and a vegan option, Ecuadorian empanadas made with plantains and filled with cheese, and a crispy, sharable breaded beef Milanesa cutlet. The cocktail program emphasizes the use of Latin American spirits such as pisco or Paraguay’s official drink, yerba mate. Vibe Check: For industrial club feels and a continuous mix of house, Latin, and techno." - Serena Maria Daniels
