Many of us missed dining at our favorite restaurants due to social distancing restrictions. Things are looking a little brighter this summer. Food doesn’t have to be bland to be good for you. Healthy eating in Detroit is even easier when there are so many diverse options. Not to mention, several carry locally-sourced ingredients, which are guaranteed fresh with rich flavors. This ultimately creates better health and fulfillment for Detroiters.
Summer is a time to eat healthy and local foods. Locally sourced is freshness at its peak. Detroitisit rounded up a list of health food restaurants in Detroit on many levels.

SEASONS MARKET & CAFE
Open daily from 8 AM – 7 PM (except Tuesday), enjoy the newly opened Seasons Market, featuring the Garden Cafe. Sustainability should be in the name, considering they single reclaimed materials. Seasons Market also pays the many Michigan-based food vendors fair wages for its products. Select a variety of packaged lunch items like salads, grain bowls, and baked goods. The best part is it’s all curated by local makers like Yum Village, Avalon Bakery, and Detroit Vegan Soul. Guests can enjoy lunch and have a seat upstairs in the market’s loft with nearly 360-degree views of the surrounding neighborhood. Take advantage of their outdoor garden dine and socialize on the outdoor garden patio. Click HERE to visit their site.
