About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
Cork & Gabel, a restaurant fusion of Irish, Italian, and German cuisine, opened in 2018 in Detroit's Corktown district. We are known for our use of modern techniques on old school classics. European comfort food is a staple at Cork & Gabel. We pride ourselves on being a scratch kitchen, sourcing and using Michigan vendors including farmers and small business. Fresh is key when it comes to providing a great experience and we make everything we can fresh and in house.

    Great food - interesting menu. The calamari, mushroom ravioli and lamb Bolognese were all great. Interesting flavors. The wine list was a little limited but what we had were very good Cool decor. They need to have a few physical menus available instead of just the QR code

    One of our favorite casual restaurants. Nice menu, although I was surprised they would not do a "build your own" omelet. Have always had excellent service. Everyone is very friendly. Took a walk through the train station after lunch and it made for a nice day!
