Ten places worth planning an evening around, and the whole list underneath.
Café Zola
Eclectic plates and global wines under high ceilings. The one to book when you want the evening to feel like an occasion.
Juicy Kitchen
Small breakfast and lunch room with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free cooking that is not an afterthought.
No Thai! Kerrytown
Noodles and stir-fries in Kerrytown, low-key enough for a weeknight.
Palio Ann Arbor
Country Italian with a rooftop patio that runs its own kitchen. Go up when the weather allows.
Tomukun Korean BBQ
Korean BBQ and a ramen menu in an open room, with Asian draft beer alongside.
HopCat
Brewpub with a very long beer list, pub cooking and a brunch menu.
Blue Tractor BBQ Brewery
House craft beer paired with barbecue, smoked meats and biscuits, usually with live music.
The Lunch Room Bakery Cafe
Plant-based breakfast sandwiches, tacos and bowls with a Southwestern lean.
Pizza House
Deep-dish pies and Italian plates in a roomy dining room built for groups.
Everest Sherpa Restaurant
