Restaurants in Canton

Sushi Kami's chefs bring the distinct flavors of Southeast Asia to metro Detroit as they craft entrees using Japanese and Korean cooking techniques. They carefully carve fresh eel and king crab into exotic maki, sushi, or specialty rolls. The multitalented chefs also assemble customized bento boxes during lunch service, filling each compartment with chicken katsu, sauce, and a series of smaller bento boxes.

Sam Alvarado’s passion and respect for handcrafted Mexican food started at a young age. He grew up watching his family cook at home and in the kitchens of Detroit’s popular Mexican Fiesta restaurant chain, which his grandfather founded. Today, as the co-owner and head chef of Fuego Grill, Alvarado draws from that early culinary foundation to craft his own menu of fresh, made-from-scratch dishes that “more than impressed” a food writer for the Dearborn Free Press. He assembles traditional entrees such as carne asada, milanesa sandwiches, and fish tacos with halal meats and locally grown vegetables, creating cuisine that’s as flavorful and conscientious as a chocolate-covered Jiminy Cricket.

With its deep-burgundy walls, heavy curtains, and crystal-draped chandeliers, what crêpe’s dining room hearkens back to Belle Époque–era Paris. The scent of simmering crepe batter and melting cheese further imbues the bistro with an aura of authenticity. Chefs flip more than 50 sweet and savory crepe varieties that have earned praise from the Metro Times and the Detroit Free Press for their freshness and ability to be delivered through mail slots. In addition to crepes, dining companions can share sips of organic tea and the restaurant’s own blend of french-press coffee.

From humble beginnings as a single donut shop in Lakewood, California, in 1953, Denny's has grown into a nationwide destination for classic American diner food served around the clock. After starting off as Danny's Donuts, the shop quickly expanded to a second location and began offering sandwiches. In just six more years, Danny's Donuts had morphed into Denny's and split into 20 franchises. Today, more than 1,700 locations thrive across the nation, serving up breakfast, lunch, and dinner at any time that diners walk into or gleefully roll through their eatery.

Upon entering Ollie's Lebanese Cuisine, the aromas of roasting Lebanese sausage, spices, olive oil, and garlic evoke an eatery in the Middle East. In addition to baking pillowy flatbread that Dearborn Patch called "exemplary," the chefs make tomato sauces in-house, charbroil marinated morsels of beef tenderloin and chicken breast, and sauté shrimp in a fragrant mixture of cilantro and lemon. The restaurant's vegetarian-friendly selections include steamed lentils and sandwiches with crispy falafel. Happy chatter drifts into the dining room from a partially covered patio, which shelters diners from the hot sun and overly familiar nicknames from fighter pilots.

Like the finest landscape painters, Chefs Dave and Ryland look no further than their picturesque surroundings for inspiration as they orchestrate Black Tulip Grille’s ever-rotating breakfast, lunch, and happy-hour menus. The culinary artisans work with a foundation of fresh, seasonal ingredients supplied by local Michigan farmers, including tart cherries that have starred in sandwiches and refreshing salads mixed with greens and toasted nuts. Their gourmet burgers earn palate popularity with patties made of short-rib Angus beef, and arrive at tables with sides of housemade parmesan potato chips. For Black Tulip Grille’s specialty pizzas, the kitchen crew slathers marinara, pesto, or olive oil over hand-tossed dough before adding toppings and cutting each pie by throwing it into a patented ceiling-fan pizza slicer. Diners who eat with their eyes can savor the restaurant’s warm environment marked by its burnt-orange walls, subtle lighting, and dark wood bar.
