Detroit's East Village is about to get a taste of the Iberian Peninsula with the grand opening of Antidote, a Spanish-inspired restaurant from entrepreneur Nya Marshall. Set to celebrate its inaugural on January 19th at 14628 E. Jefferson Ave, this new eatery promises to transport diners to the Mediterranean region.
The menu at Antidote is a love letter to traditional Spanish cuisine, with dishes like mussels and chorizo, Catalan-style cod, and Basque cheesecake taking center stage. But don't be fooled - the culinary approach is decidedly global in scope, drawing inspiration from various international influences to create a truly borderless flavor profile.
When it comes to drinks, Antidote has got you covered with an extensive selection of wines and craft cocktails, including some delightful non-alcoholic options. Whether you're stopping by for brunch, dinner, or a late-night snack, the restaurant's flexible hours ensure that there's always time for a meal.
Located in the former space of Norma G's, which closed its doors in 2023, Antidote is situated in a neighborhood that's already proven itself to be a hub for foodies and entrepreneurs alike. This isn't Nya Marshall's first foray into the culinary scene - she previously opened Ivy Kitchen and Cocktails in an abandoned building back in 2020.
As with any new restaurant, there's always a bit of uncertainty when it comes to execution, but based on the press release, Antidote seems poised to be a major player in Detroit's dining landscape. With its focus on globally-inspired cuisine and cozy atmosphere, this could just be the perfect spot for those looking to spice up their dining routine.

I've been wandering around that East Village area and it's already got so much life to it. Love how Nya Marshall is bringing a taste of Spain to Detroit - I'm all about trying new flavors and drinks. Mussels and chorizo sound AMAZING 
, and the fact that they have non-alcoholic options means everyone can join in on the fun! 
The atmosphere sounds super cozy too, perfect for a night out with friends or a date. Fingers crossed it lives up to all the hype - can't wait to go! 
! i've been hearing great things about Nya Marshall's culinary skills from my friends who've already tried her other restaurant Ivy Kitchen and Cocktails 
. the idea of a globally-inspired menu is super exciting to me, especially since i'm all about trying new flavors and cuisines 
. also, can we talk about how cool it is that Antidote is opening up in Detroit's East Village? there's already so much energy and creativity happening in that neighborhood 
. fingers crossed for a smooth grand opening and delicious food 
!
. I mean, Spanish food in Detroit? It's not like we don't have enough authentic Mexican or Greek spots already... and it's just gonna be a bunch of pretentious chefs trying to make us feel like we're on vacation without breaking the bank 
. And don't even get me started on the "borderless flavor profile" - just code for "we threw a bunch of spices at a pot and hoped for the best" 
. I'm not saying it'll be bad or anything, but I'm low-key skeptical about this whole Antidote thing 
.
and mussels with chorizo? it's not often you get that kind of global cuisine inspiration in one spot. plus, they're offering drinks too? like, what if they make a 'Detroit-inspired' craft cocktail? 
would be lit. the location is also super convenient since it used to be Norma G's... been waiting for this place to open up! 
i'm so down for that basque cheesecake lol but seriously, a global flavor profile sounds like exactly what detroit needs more variety and not just your usual burgers & pizza joints 
cant wait to see the reviews 
Antidote is coming to town and I'm low-key hyped about it 
Can't wait to slurp down some mussels and chorizo while sipping on a craft cocktail (or two) 
. Nya Marshall knows what she's doing - Ivy Kitchen was a success, so fingers crossed for Antidote 
. Bring on January 19th and let's get this foodie party started! 
Nya Marshall is a genius 
, I've been following her journey since Ivy Kitchen and Cocktails opened in 2020, and I gotta say, the fact that she's going global with this new spot is AMAZING 
. The menu looks so on point, especially with all those Spanish classics like mussels and chorizo 
! Can't wait to try it out on Jan 19th 
. Detroit's food scene just got a whole lot more interesting 
! Nya Marshall thinks she can just waltz in here with her fancy Spanish-inspired menu and wine selection, but let's be real, Detroit's food scene is way too diverse for that. I mean, where's the soul? The grit? The authentic American flavors that this city knows and loves? Antidote is just gonna end up being some watered-down, touristy spot that serves overpriced tapas to rich yuppies who don't know any better 
. And don't even get me started on the Basque cheesecake - what's wrong with good ol' fashioned apple pie?! 
. And what's with all these new restaurants in the East Village? It feels like every other week there's some new hotspot or whatever 
. I'm just worried it'll be overhyped and then nobody shows up, ya know? 
Plus, I'm not even sure if I wanna pay extra for a "borderless" flavor profile... can't they just make something that tastes good without all the fuss? 
so i'm excited about this new restaurant opening up in detroit! i love how the menu is inspired by traditional spanish cuisine but also got some international twists 
antidote's focus on globally-inspired food and drinks could bring a fresh vibe to the east village. 
I'm definitely gonna have to check this place out on opening night... or maybe even sooner 
.
And don't even get me started on the drinks menu, extensive selection sounds like a dream come true. Flexible hours mean we can enjoy a meal whenever we want, win-win! 
Located in an old space from Norma G's, it's got all the makings of a cool spot for foodies and entrepreneurs alike. Fingers crossed Nya Marshall brings her A-game and makes Antidote a major player in Detroit's dining scene. Can't wait to try it out! 
Antidote sounds like the perfect spot for foodies who want to try something new but still feel cozy at home 
Their Basque cheesecake alone has me intrigued... gotta check this place out ASAP! 
Nya Marshall, the owner, she's got some connections, ya know? She opened Ivy Kitchen and Cocktails back in 2020, but now we're gettin' a Spanish-inspired spot outta nowhere. What's the real motive here? 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good plate of mussels and chorizo? 
As someone who's been to Norma G's, it's cool to see another entrepreneur breathe new life into that space. Fingers crossed Antidote lives up to all the hype and becomes a staple in our foodie scene!
