Where to Dine and Drink in Eastern Market #DetroitFood

Eastern Market | Michelle and Chris Gerard

From gut-busting breakfasts to pizza and cocktails

For more than 100 years, Eastern Market has acted as a hub of Detroit’s food and beverage commerce. Home to numerous meat processors and wholesalers, on Saturdays the massive red brick market sheds fill up with vendors selling farm fresh produce, plants, and prepared foods.

Thousands of people from around the region commune in Eastern Market on weekends to pick up groceries and grab a bite at the ever-changing lineup of food trucks and stands that set up shop around the area. Although the neighborhood has always been home to a few restaurants, over the past several years Eastern Market has attracted a large influx of new bars, restaurants, and even a winery.

This latest update of the guide is particularly drastic due to some recent closures at the market. Gather is departing due to an ownership shakeup that’s left the restaurant dormant and Russell Street Deli closed after 30 years due to a battle with the landlord. In addition to the closures, a handful of new spots including Warda Patisserie, Anthology Coffee, Pietrzyk Pierogi, and Detroit Vineyards have made new homes in the district. From smoked meat sandwiches to crispy pistachio cannoli to craft beer, here’s where to dine and drink in Eastern Market this season.
