The Best New Restaurants in Detroit, March 2025

"Norm’s Diner landed on the city’s east side from the creative minds of Elise Gallant and Danielle Norman. The casual and well-designed space features twists on diner breakfast staples like biscuits and chorizo gravy; a lox plate with rye toast and onion schmear; or for lunch, a crispy chicken cutlet with green goddess dressing; or a turkey club with an herby mayo spread and bacon from Nueske’s Applewood Smoked Meats. To drink, sodas, iced tea, and lemonade are available, as is drip coffee, orange juice, and a selection of malts and shakes. Be warned, Norm’s gets quite a bit of foot traffic, so when you arrive, leave your number with the host to be added to the waitlist, take a leisurely stroll around the block, and maybe do some window shopping and your table will be ready before you know it." - Serena Maria Daniels
