Casual Dining
Flavors. They enchant us. They satisfy us. Whether we've just walked up from the beach to enjoy fresh lake perch at a dockside cafe or about to take a break and enjoy a smoothie made with fresh Michigan blueberries, we'll always remember the savory flavors we experience here. From delicious chicken dinners served family-style at Zehnder's to authentic Italian at Roma Cafe in Detroit's Eastern Market to the truly amazing Mackinac Island fudge. A delicious taste awaits us at every turn, where the local flavor is always Pure Michigan.
