Here are some of the top dining spots for meeting attendees in Detroit.

Fuel Up Between Sessions

At Brome Modern Eatery, a short walk from TCF Center, try the organic and non-GMO burgers, hand-cut fries, made-to-order salads or the Balence juice bar for super food smoothies, juices or mock-tails.

Lunch Breaks

Take a scenic walk through Campus Martius and Cadillac Square to get to Grand Trunk Pub on Woodward Avenue, a Michigan historic landmark that sources local ingredients in its pub fare and weekend brunch.

The focus is on beer at the popular HopCat Detroit, with 130 tap brews and a full bar. The scratch kitchen in Midtown serves up tasty food to match. HopCat’s Crack fries—beer battered and sprinkled with a signature cracked black pepper seasoning—were voted Top 10 French fries in America by Food Network magazine. Weekend brunch available. Meeting planners, take note of the private second floor venue and outdoor patio for private parties of up to 400.

Dynamic Dinners

After a long day of business, treat yourself to a relaxing meal at one of the city’s finest restaurants. Make a reservation at Andiamo Detroit Riverfront in the GM Renaissance Center for pastas, steaks and chops served with spectacular riverfront views. Private dining space can accommodate up to 80. Joe Muer Seafood, also in the RenCen, is synonymous with fresh, upscale seafood dishes and offers four meeting rooms, the largest serving up to 130.

Detroit’s iconic Caucus Club reopened in 2017 after a complete renovation and restoration, and is a block away from TCF Center. Live music Friday and Saturday. Sunday brunch available.

The London Chop House was recognized as one of the country’s best restaurants in days gone by. It reopened in 2012, ushering in a “new era” of upscale hospitality at the same location.
