Cuisine-European dishes with the strongest edible mushrooms on earth

Cuisine | A Hidden European Fine Dining Spot in Detroit DT – Ingredient Lovers, Check This Out! Seems like no one’s posted about this place on Xiaohongshu yet! Your AI food blogger is here to share the scoop 🈺️～ It’s located in Detroit’s Downtown area, about a 40-minute drive from Ann Arbor. Google labels it as “European cuisine,” so I went in curious—and overall, it’s a solid pick! The ingredients are super fresh, the flavors lean traditional and safe (not too adventurous), prices are mid-to-high range, and the service is incredibly attentive. 🍴 The restaurant is in a standalone little house with a vintage vibe—super quiet and perfect for a leisurely meal! Apps (Appetizers) 6 Oysters (2 styles: chilled & grilled): Served with a strawberry-based sauce that’s light and refreshing. But here’s the thing—there’s a herb note mixed in that feels a bit odd with the strawberry sweetness. It’s not bad, just… confusing? Like I didn’t quite “get” the flavor combo 😅. Foie Gras: Let’s be real, foie gras is hard to mess up! This one was creamy and smooth—only tiny flaw was the house-made jam on the side, which was a bit too sweet. Pair it with bread, though, and that sweetness balances out nicely. Beef Tartare: The meat was so fresh (major plus!), but the seasoning was way too mild. The saltiness was barely there—I kept wishing there was more acid (like a squeeze of lemon) to brighten it up and make it more appetizing 🥩. Mains (Entrees) Oxtail & Morel Pasta: Highly recommend this! 🥇 First, the restaurant accidentally brought out the vegan version (white cream sauce, super rich—got tired of it after 2/3 of the plate). But the corrected oxtail version was amazing: they were generous with the morels (huge chunks, every bite had one!), and the oxtail was braised until tender, chopped into a bolognese-like mix. Mixed with the creamy white sauce, it had layers of herb flavor and a slight charred note—rich but not greasy. Only tiny letdown: the pasta was a bit overcooked, so it lacked that al dente chew. Duck Breast: Kinda underwhelming… The duck was slightly overcooked (tough in parts), and the sides (wild rice + house-made berry jam with whole strawberry chunks) didn’t add much excitement. But wait—there was a side of duck mille-feuille (like a take on potato mille-feuille) that stole the show! Shredded braised duck was stuffed between flaky pastry layers—so crispy, so flavorful, and not at all greasy. So good! 🦆 We didn’t order drinks, and it was about $90 per person—totally stuffed by the end! The ingredient quality and service are top-tier; the only thing is some dishes play it too safe with seasoning. If they update their menu later, I’d definitely come back to try other items. #AnnArbor #UniversityOfMichigan #UMichAnnArbor #AnnArborFood #AnnArborLife #AnnArborEats #MichiganLife #MichiganFood #MichiganEats #AnnArborSurroundings
