Chartreuse Kitchen & Cocktails

With bright green walls covered in succulents and dried flowers, eating at Chartreuse is about as close to spring as you can get during Detroit’s long winter. The seasonal menu always includes a few pastas and shareable entrees, along with some vegetarian small plates that will make you think, “If vegetables always tasted like this, I’d probably eat more vegetables.” If you don’t want to sit down for a whole meal, there’s also a cocktail bar in the front where you can just order snacks and drinks and remind yourself that the world isn’t always a cold, dark place.
