Rose's Fine Food and Wine

"Located on the East Side near Belle Isle, Rose’s Fine Food is the neighborhood diner that you’ll wish was around the corner from where you live. It has the long, old-school counter and bottomless coffee you expect, along with surprisingly good breakfast and lunch food (they close at 3pm on weekdays and 5pm over the weekend). The menu changes each season, but you can always count on the classic Grandpa Richard’s Pancakes and seasonal frittata to cover the sweet and savory bases." - sara barron, sam faye

"Rose’s Fine Food and Wine was known for its excellent baked goods and quality wines. Its impact extended beyond its menu, making its closure a tough blow for the community." - Serena Maria Daniels

"The buckwheat pancakes served at Rose’s Fine Food are just as filling as delicious as their glutenous counterparts. Stacks are served with real Michigan maple syrup and house-cultured butter, giving diners even more peace of mind. For a lunch option, consider the staff favorite rice bowl, with bacon, kimchi, mushrooms, avocado, and a fried egg." - Eater Staff

"On the east side, Molly Mitchell of Rose’s Fine Foods shared in September 2022 that she was putting the business up for sale, but has since opted to begin focusing on food access and education for Detroiters with plans to launch a kitchen garden cooking school." - Serena Maria Daniels

"Rose’s Fine Food and Wine, a beloved eatery on the east side of Detroit, is retaining its business after listing for sale in 2022. Owner Molly Mitchell is expanding its role by developing Rose’s Kitchen Garden School, a culinary education program. The eatery sources seasonal ingredients from local farms, established a patio garden, and a to-go bottle shop during the pandemic to stay afloat. Mitchell is inspired by Ballymaloe Cookery School and aims to offer a variety of cooking classes and a 12-week paid apprenticeship program for youth." - Serena Maria Daniels
