BEST OF WASHTENAW MAIN PAGE
Food is a passion for Washtenaw County residents, and the variety and quality continue to excel. Start your day with coffee from RoosRoast and some hippy hash from the Fleetwood Diner. Whether you’re eating Italian at Gratzi, Japanese at Yotsuba, Indian at Cardamom or Mexican at Maiz, you won’t be disappointed. Favorite new restaurants have emerged like Mikette Bistro, and food carts like Ricewood are commanding long lines for BBQ with a zing.
