About

Supergeil Detroit

Our culinary influence follows the western migratory pattern of the stork from Eastern Europe down along the Mediterranean coastal towns of France, Spain and into Northern Africa. We pride ourselves on seasonal ingredients, farmer/chef relationships and scratch cooking. Our food harken’s back to simple cooking, the love of hospitality and symbiotic relationships between climate, place and food source. We strive to be what we feel the ideal neighborhood joint should be… honest, friendly, affordable and delicious.
