Best restaurant in Detroit/ metro area?

Best of the Best is probably "Tribute" in Farmington Hills. Very pricey and very exlcusive.

Best Asian: "Mon Jin Lau" in Troy, (I believe.)

1.)Best Pizza - Pizza Papalis(Deep Dish - better than anything in Chicago) located in Greektown

2.)Best Mexican - Armando's, located at Vernor & Scotten(Detroit)

3.)Best Steak - Ruth's Chris(I'm sure your familiar) located in Troy on Big Beaver & I 75, but Alley Grille in the Greektown Casino is just as good

4.) Best Breakfast - Original Pancake House, locations in Southfield & Gross Pointe

5.) Best BBQ - Sweetwater Tavern in Downtown Detroit(Congress & Brush), a whole in the wall, but the wings & ribs are the best around

6.) Best Caribbean - Bahama Breeze, locations in Northville & Troy

7.) Best Italian - Andiamo's, multiple locations/ Giovanni's, located in Dearborn

8.) Best Mid-Eastern - La Shish, multiple locations

9.) Most Romantic - Insignia, located at the top of the Renaissance Center in Downtown Detroit(great views of the Detroit River and the city)/ Opus One,located on Larned & 75

My absolute all-time favorite restaurant in the metro-Detroit area is an Italian place called Marinelli's at 12 Mile Road and I-75... the pasta is delicious, comes in huge portions, and affordably priced. Try the Meat Lover's pasta, it's penne loaded with italian sausage, ham, and beef.

Good luck and congratulations on starting! It's possible to eat healthy in any restaurant. Stay away from the bread basket, in fact, tell the waitress/waiter not to bring it. Do not order soup, order a salad with a vinegarette dressing... Ask for vegatables or rice instead of potatoes. In Greektown, try Hellas. On the Eastside, the Harvard Grille is good, but be selective when ordering. Also Sajo's has good food. If you tell your waitress that you are on a diet, usually they will help you order. Good luck again...

Our favorite was Cedarland in Dearborn on Warren Avenue. They have the best middle eastern food in my opinion.

Edward's Cafe in Northville is wonderful, but they are open for breakfast and lunch only. I also like the Sizzling Sticks in Northville. It is a mongolian bbq resturant, with really good food, and the environment is less rushy.

Pampas is closed.

I'd recommend you look on www.chowhound.com. Much more "in depth" ratings and descriptions and, if you're a foodie, you'll love reading about Chicago places, too!

You can really narrow by what type of food and location.

I dont have a favorite. But you should check out pizza papolis. It might remind you of Chicago!!!!

lol....you came here!?!....go back to chicago...trust me this place is a dump! i cant belive people are still coming to this crappy state! ok....just go on Hall rd. there are a ton of restraunts there to choose from! look up Lakeside Mall on yahoo maps i guess and all the restraunts are by the mall...ummm its like Hall rd and Schoneerr (i cant spell schonnerr right sorry)
