As the weather changes, so do some of our favorite restaurants’ offerings. From dog-friendly fare to afternoon tea, here are six new and noteworthy menus around metro Detroit.
Following it’s move from Royal Oak to Detroit, La Dulce announced it would be shifting its focus and menu to solely authentic Mexican cuisine, in homage to owner Luis Negrete’s roots and the recent earthquakes experienced in the region. Proceeds from a number of menu items will directly benefit the affected areas in Mexico City, Puebla, and Oaxaca. New items include Cochinita Pibil, a slow-roasted pork shoulder in achiote sauce, served with pickled onions and habanero salsa; and Enmoladas, slow-cooked pork made with black mole and served with tortillas and crema.
