Chartreuse Kitchen & Cocktails sits on E. Kirby Street in Midtown, close to the Detroit Institute of Arts. The format is small plates, meant to be ordered in multiples and passed around the table, served in a bright, sunny dining room that leans casual rather than formal.
Chef Doug Hewitt runs the kitchen. Regulars point to exceptional service and attention to detail, creative and flavorful cooking with a veggie-forward bent, and a cocktail program built with the same complexity as the food — the kind of place that draws repeat customers and has built real loyalty over the years.
Dishes reviewers keep coming back to include duck confit, ceviche, burrata, and spare ribs, with a vanilla pudding that's developed its own following. On the drink side, the Last Word shows up often as a standby.
Hour Detroit named Chartreuse among the city's best in 2025.
