Best Restaurants In Detroit Open On Christmas Day 2016

By Chase Hunt

Christmas is soon approaching and families will get together for holiday feasts. Not everyone will make dinner though and sometimes the inconvenience of plans falling through happen. Once and a while, there's a chance food will get burnt and it'll be just too late to remake the turkey or ham with grocery stores being closed. This guide will provide several restaurants within the Detroit area to enjoy some good eats. Check with restaurants for times of operation as they may change.

Roast

Located in The Westin Book Cadillac Hotel, Roast is known for prime meats (including roasted goat) and trendy sides in a typical American steakhouse style. It serves as one of the nicer restaurants in Detroit and offers a variety of wine and spirits to go along with a Christmas Day meal. After dinner, a short dessert menu serves a crème brûlée or a bread pudding with a few other options. Reservations are highly encouraged unless visiting the bar area for Happy Hour before the restaurant opens.
