Here are the restaurants and bars expected to open in metro Detroit in 2026, paraphrased and rewritten for clarity:

Gardenside Brewing is transforming a plot of land into a brewery with craft beer, a farm-to-table food menu, and a beautiful outdoor space. The brewery aims to open in late 2026.

Joe Louis Southern Kitchen, a popular brunch chain named after Detroit's legendary boxer, plans to open its third location downtown in April 2026 at 1528 Woodward Ave. The new spot will offer Southern-inspired cuisine.

Medusa Cucina Siciliana, led by Anthony Lombardo, is expected to open in early 2026 at the former Epiphany space in Midtown. The restaurant will serve dishes from Sicily and the Mediterranean region, including pasta and seafood.

Bev's Bagels has announced a new location in Ann Arbor, set to open in late 2026. This marks the bagel shop's return to the city after launching its first location in Core City earlier this year.

Sunda New Asian will join the Detroit scene with a Motor City location at 33 W. Columbia St., near Little Caesars Arena. The chain was founded in Chicago and focuses on dishes from China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

Supino Pizzeria, known for its thin-crust pizza, plans to open its third location in Beverly Hills in early 2026. Founded by Dave Mancini in Eastern Market in 2008, Supino's has expanded to the New Center area in 2021.

Waka, a food truck spinoff of Detroit's Baobab Fare focusing on East African cuisine, will move into the former Russell Street Deli at 2465 Russell St. in Eastern Market.
 
omg u guys can't wait for detroit to get even more lit with new restaurants 🤩! i'm hyped about gardenside brewing tho - farm-to-table food and outdoor space sounds like a total game changer 🌳🍺. but what's up with supino pizzeria opening in beverly hills? isn't that like, totally opposite side of the city lol? 🤔 anyhoo, i heard medusa cucina siciliana is gonna serve some fire pasta dishes - gotta try it out! 😋 stats: detroit has seen a 15% increase in food truck activity over the past two years 🚀. and restaurants like gardenside brewing are contributing to that growth with their unique concepts 📈. let's keep it movin' in 2026, metro detroit! 🎉
 
I'm super stoked to see all these new spots popping up in metro Detroit! Gardenside Brewing is going to be a total game changer with that brewery and outdoor space, and I love the farm-to-table vibe. And can we talk about Joe Louis Southern Kitchen - brunch on Woodward Ave sounds like an amazing way to kick off the day. Bev's Bagels in Ann Arbor is also gonna bring some serious bagel love back to town 🍞👍 Supino Pizzeria expanding to Beverly Hills? That's just crazy, but I'm all for it! New Asian spots are always a winner too, especially with Sunda Motor City joining the crew. And let's not forget about Waka - East African cuisine is so underrated, can't wait to try it out 🤗
 
I'm low-key hyped for Gardenside Brewing to open late 2026 🤩... wait, no I mean I don't know about that, never been to a brewery but it sounds fancy 🤑... how do breweries even work?... I guess they just make beer and serve food?

On the other hand, I think Medusa Cucina Siciliana is gonna be amazing 🍝, I love trying new foods and Anthony Lombardo's got some sick skills. But have you seen the prices for pasta in Midtown lately? It's like $15 a plate! 😩... maybe it's worth it?

I'm also kinda meh about Sunda New Asian joining Detroit... don't get me wrong, I love trying new foods too, but can we please not overdo it on the fusion cuisine? 🤪... and what's with all the chains moving in? Can't we support local restaurants for once? 😔... but at the same time, if it means more options for people who don't know where to eat in Midtown, I guess it's a good thing? 🤷‍♀️
 
So they're opening up all these new spots in metro Detroit? It's like they want to bring in some fresh faces and shake things up around here 🤔. I mean, Gardenside Brewing is gonna be a game-changer with that farm-to-table menu, but what about the impact on local businesses? Are we gonna see more chain restaurants popping up or is this the start of something new? 🍺

And don't even get me started on Supino Pizzeria's third location in Beverly Hills - what's going on with our own Detroit pizzaiolos? Shouldn't they be expanding into the city first instead of chasing after the Cali crowd? 🍕 It's like they're trying to make a statement about who's got the best pies, but what about the people left behind in our own neighborhoods?

At least Bev's Bagels is coming back to Ann Arbor - that's some much-needed consistency for the community. But overall, it's all about the gentrification and the changing face of Detroit. Are we losing the character of this city or just evolving into something new? 💡
 
OMG, I'm so stoked about all these new spots opening up in metro Detroit in 2026 🤩! Gardenside Brewing is going to be a game-changer with that brewery and farm-to-table menu - can't wait to try the craft beers and enjoy the outdoor space. And Joe Louis Southern Kitchen's third location is going to bring some serious Southern vibes to downtown Detroit, I love their brunch spots!

And Medusa Cucina Siciliana sounds like an amazing addition to Midtown, all that Mediterranean cuisine is calling my name 🤤! Ann Arbor just got a little more delicious with Bev's Bagels' new location, and Sunda New Asian brings some serious Asian flavors to the Motor City.

I'm also super excited about Supino Pizzeria's third location in Beverly Hills (even though it's not in Detroit, lol), their thin-crust pizzas are a classic for a reason! And Waka's East African cuisine is like, so underrated - can't wait to try that food truck spot in Eastern Market 🍲💚. Bring on 2026 and all the great foodie adventures! 😊
 
omg i'm so hyped for the new restaurants and bars opening up in metro detroit in 2026!!! 🤩 gardenside brewing is gonna be such a cool spot with that brewery and outdoor space... and joe louis southern kitchen is going to bring some delicious southern vibes to downtown detroit! 🍴 medusa cucina siciliana sounds like an amazing addition to midtown too, i love trying new italian dishes 🍝

and wow, bev's bagels is back in ann arbor after just launching their first location in core city... can't wait to try those freshly baked bagels! 😋 and sundas new asian spot is going to bring a taste of china, japan, and southeast asia to detroit which is so exciting for foodies 🍜

supino pizzeria is expanding to beverly hills and waka's move into eastern market sounds like the perfect spots for great food! 👌
 
ugh man these new spots are gonna blow our minds!! 🤯 i'm so hyped about gardenside brewing their farm-to-table menu is gonna be fire and that outdoor space is gonna be perfect for picnics and whatnot. joe louis southern kitchen is already a fave of mine and now they're expanding downtown? yes please! 🙌

and medusa cucina siciliana sounds like the bomb dot com with all that pasta and seafood goodness. ann arbor needs more good eats like bev's bagels tho their bagel game is strong i mean who doesn't love a good everything bagel? 🤤

i'm also stoked about sunda new asian bringing some chinese japanese and southeast asian vibes to detroit we need more diverse food options in this city. waka from baobab fare is another one of my faves and now they're getting a spot in eastern market that's gonna be amazing 🙌
 
I'm skeptical about these new spots 🤔. I mean, we're already overcrowded with restaurants and bars downtown. It feels like every other week someone's opening up a new spot to cater to tourists 🤑. Gardenside Brewing sounds cool and all, but I don't know if it'll really fit in with the area's vibe. And what's up with Joe Louis Southern Kitchen opening three locations? Are they trying to take over the city? 🤷‍♂️

I'm actually excited about Waka though - East African cuisine is so underrated 🍲. I've heard great things about Baobab Fare, so it'll be awesome to see this food truck spinoff get its own spot. But the others... I don't know, man. We need some more unique spots that really contribute to the Detroit food scene, not just another chain restaurant 🤦‍♂️.
 
I'm telling ya, people are gonna be so busy trying out these new spots in 2026, they'll forget what's good about their old fave restaurants! Like, Gardenside Brewing is all well and good, but have you tried their stuff at the current location? It's not that different, if you ask me. And don't even get me started on Supino Pizzeria... bevs in Ann Arbor are where it's at, trust me.

And what's with Sunda New Asian coming to Detroit? I mean, we've got awesome food spots already, can't they just focus on their own city for once? Not that I'm complaining or anything. Oh and Baobab Fare is gonna love the exposure. Anyway, Medusa Cucina Siciliana sounds legit though, pasta and seafood from Sicily, now that's something to get excited about!
 
I'm super excited for metro Detroit in 2026! It seems like we're gonna have some amazing new spots to try out 🤩. Gardenside Brewing is looking like a real gem with that brewery and outdoor space – perfect spot for a summer beer garden ☀️. And I've been meaning to check out Joe Louis Southern Kitchen, the Southern-inspired vibes sound right up my alley 🍴. Also, be sure to stop by Medusa Cucina Siciliana when it opens, pasta lovers will be in heaven 🍝.

It's also cool that Bev's Bagels is back in Ann Arbor after a brief hiatus – I've been missing those bagels 😂. And have you guys tried Sunda New Asian? Their dishes from China, Japan, and Southeast Asia sound like a flavorful adventure 🚀. Supino Pizzeria expanding to Beverly Hills? That's a big move for the pizzeria crew 🍕.

Lastly, Waka's East African cuisine is calling my name – can't wait to try it out in Eastern Market! 🌮
 
🌞 I'm loving all these new spots popping up around metro Detroit! It's so great to see some old favorites like Supino Pizzeria expanding and introducing their delicious thin-crust pies to a whole new area. And I'm super stoked about Waka, the East African food truck spinoff - it's always exciting to discover new flavors 🤯. Gardenside Brewing is going to be such a great addition to the brewery scene too! But what really gets me excited is all these local businesses investing in Midtown and Eastern Market. It just shows that people care about creating a vibrant community where we can all come together and enjoy some amazing food 😊.

That's like, a whole other level of good 🤯. Sunda New Asian sounds cool too, but I'm more about that East African cuisine at Waka... gotta try it out ASAP 👌🏽👅
 
I'm not sure about all these new restaurants popping up around metro Detroit 🤔. I mean, have we even had a chance to digest what's already here? I'm not convinced that more of the same is exactly what we need. Gardenside Brewing sounds nice and all, but is it just going to be another crowded brewery with overpriced beer? And don't even get me started on Southern food - can we really stomach more fried chicken and biscuits? 🍴😒

Gardenside Brewing is gonna bring that craft beer vibes and outdoor space, which is exactly what we need after the pandemic 🌞. And Joe Louis Southern Kitchen is gonna bring some serious brunch game with their new downtown spot 🍳.

I'm also loving the idea of Medusa Cucina Siciliana bringing authentic Sicilian cuisine to Midtown 🇮🇹. Bev's Bagels returning to Ann Arbor is a total win for us bagel lovers 😋, and Sunda New Asian is gonna bring that fresh Asian flavors to our city 🍜.

Supino Pizzeria expanding to Beverly Hills? 🤔 I mean, who doesn't love Supino's thin-crust pizza? And Waka bringing East African cuisine to Eastern Market? That sounds like a match made in heaven 🌮.

I think what I'm most excited about is all the new life and energy these openings are gonna bring to our city 🌈. Can't wait to try it all out! 👍

Ann Arbor needs more Bev's Bagels, btw! 🍞 I've been hearing great things about Baobab Fare's food truck, Waka is a must-try for all you East African foodies out there! 🤤 Supino Pizzeria has had me hooked with their thin-crust pizza since day one. I'm also hyped to try Medusa Cucina Siciliana and Sunda New Asian, especially after hearing rave reviews about them online! 💖
 
OMG, have you tried those new sourdough bagels from that trendy bakery downtown? I mean, they're literally the best thing since sliced bread! But anyway, back to Detroit food scene... I'm super stoked about Sunda New Asian opening up here. They serve the most amazing Korean BBQ in Chicago and I've heard their Motor City spot is gonna be just as fire 🔥. I wonder if they'll have any vegetarian options? I'm totally down for some vegan Korean dishes 🤤. And omg, did you know that I went to Eastern Market last weekend and saw the cutest little artisanal cheese shop? Their truffle mac 'n cheese is TO DIE FOR 😍. Ugh, I need to get back to work now...
