R
ose’
s Fine
Food is set up
to be a long-
time mainstay on
Detroit’
s east side. Rose’
s
delivers an ultimate
gourmet twist on typ-
ical American diner
food. Located on
10551 E. Jefferson at
Hastings St., there is a
giant sign you cannot
miss. The free-stand-
ing building is adorned
with a steel smoker out
front emblemized with
roses.
The Detroit-chic
diner occupies less than
1,000 square feet, leav-
ing you with an intimate feel. This
may be in part to the welcoming staff,
who are knowledgeable, friendly and
easy to converse with. You could sit
and shmooze with them like old-time
friends!
The tables are salvaged wood, and
chairs have been collected through
the decades. Or park yourself at the
diner counter on a leather swivel stool
with a chair back. The mismatched
vintage china flatware, mugs and cups
are dainty and eclectic. Live succulent
plants along with jars of house-pickled
kimchi, onions and cucumbers line
the floating shelves above the kitchen
line. It’
s your classic open-style kitchen
dining experience. The overall feel of
Rose’
s is a nostalgic vibe with the abso-
lute freshest ingredients.
Enjoy the fresh smells of daily home
baked items inside an antique dis-
play case and definitely indulge in
one. The most recent delectable dish
I tried was a rhubarb yogurt pie. The
items rotate along with daily drink spe-
cials such as lavender lemonade.
The menu is fairly
stable but does change
per the season as Rose’
s
focuses on fresh, locally
sourced ingredients.
Fun fact — one of the
part-time chefs is a full-
time farmer whose urban
farm is about six miles
away in Detroit.
The menu clearly
marks which dishes are
vegan and gluten-free.
Staple items are
Grandpa Richard’
s
Pancakes (stack of
delicious cakes made
with organic stone-
ground flour, Michigan
maple syrup and cul-
tured butter), Staff Favorite 2.0 (a
bowl of heirloom rice topped with
maple bacon, mushrooms, house kim-
chi and avocado with a fried egg on
top), and you can’
t go wrong with one
of the lunch sandwiches.
Don’
t skip out on the variety of
side dishes: organic grits, toast, herby
beans, grilled potatoes and sides of
flapjacks. Fresh sides of meat include
applewood bacon, corridor sausage
— pork or chicken. Corridor sausage
is a local product to Detroit. Maybe
you’
ve seen the Corridor Sausage deli at
Detroit Metro Airport or Ford Field.
The 40-seat artisanal gem of a diner
is best with a small group of four or
less. It is also a great place to dine alone.
The dynamic duo behind the ori-
gins of Rose’
s Fine Food are Molly
Mitchell and Lucy Peters. They are
cousins and named the restaurant after
their common grandmother. Next up
for Molly Mitchell will be a Polish-
inspired restaurant serving up perogies
and more in Detroit’
s West Village at
the corner of Agnes and Van Dyke. ■
