This is the Motor City … and this is what they also do.

Detroit does dining with a comeback kick. The city hip-hops to an upbeat tempo, driving with passion and commitment. The farm to table movement inspires and the chefs respond full throttle. Here are five restaurants worth the drive to the Motor City.

Pegasus Taverna
858 Monroe
Greektown Detroit

Opa! Meals begin with flaming Greek Kasseri cheese which, when melted, releases a taste that’s almost sinful. Platters of Moussaka, spinach cheese pie and stuffed grape leaves abound, followed by lamb chops, marinated chicken pieces and Pastitsio- macaroni mixed with ground meat. The waiters fete diners as if they were Greek Gods.

Experience Mediterranean flavors in a lively Greektown restaurant on the east side of downtown.
