Utica Restaurants

Utica is a suburb of Detroit that is well-known for its large and forested River Bends Park, which features disc golf courses, paved trails, and archery ranges for bow and arrow and clay targets. Near the busy Lakeside Mall, there are several upscale Italian restaurants featuring fettucini alfredo, tiramisu, and espresso. The area is home to many people of German descent. This is reflected in the many small restaurants that offer grilled bratwurst accompanied by sauerkraut. At the local bakeries, the pastries also demonstrate the area's rich German and Polish heritage. You'll find strudel and paczki filled with apple, cherry, lemon, raspberry, and cream fillings. The bakeries also serve other specialty breads from these areas of Europe, including challah, rye, and traditional sourdough loaves.
