Restaurants

s you should city that has

as its slogan “Doing Life Different,” the area’s restaurant options include many imaginative venues and menus. One reason is the abundance of independently owned dining spots. As a result, chefs are able to create inspired classic dishes with modern twists and mouth watering one-of-a-kind specialties.

National Recognition

expect of a Fodor’s Travel identified Ann Arbor as one of the “Top 5 College Towns for Foodies” in 2013, citing Zingerman’s Deli, Bakehouse, and Creamery as top destinations for tasty treats. Mani Osteria & Bar was recognized in 2013 by The Daily Meal for having one of the “Best 101 Pizzas in America” (the Pepperoni Pie) and its Cippolini pizza was recognized by MLive as the best in Michigan.

RESTAURANTS

The Joy of Beer You don’t have to be passionate about beer to search out our popular microbreweries. What comes out of the kitchen attracts just as many patrons as what comes out of the tap. Whether preparing food or beer, these establishments treat it as an art. How well do our local beers stack up? When four beer connoisseurs from NYC performed a blind taste test of Belgian-style ales, the Oro de Calabaza from Ann Arbor’s Jolly Pumpkin came in number one. Restaurants with on-site breweries are listed under “Microbreweries,” page 15.

Zingerman’s: Foodies’ Top Attraction What started as a corner deli in Kerrytown has grown into a family of foodrelated businesses that continues to receive abundant awards from celebrities and the media. Zingerman’s Deli’s huge sandwiches are as legendary as its exceptional array of deli products and bakery items. Zingerman’s Roadhouse features “real American food” made with the best ingredients possible, sourcing many items on the menu from Chef Alex Young’s own farm. The menu includes a separate category for its creative varieties of mac n’ cheese.
