Farm-To-Table Restaurant Offers Unique Canal-Side Experience

Coriander Kitchen and Farm provides a distinctive dining experience that combines waterfront views, seasonal cuisine and locally grown ingredients in Detroit. Located along a scenic canal near the Detroit River, the restaurant provides guests with an inviting atmosphere where nature, hospitality and farm-fresh food come together.

Co-owned by farmer Gwen Meyer and chef Alison Heeres, Coriander Kitchen and Farm stands out as one of Detroit’s few restaurants with its own farm. Meyer grows much of the produce and herbs used in the kitchen, allowing the culinary team to create menus that reflect the changing seasons and the freshest available ingredients. This farm-to-table approach helps ensure that every visit offers something new and inspired by the current harvest.

Guests can dine outdoors along the canal, relax on the covered greenhouse patio or enjoy indoor seating near the restaurant’s colorful, retro-style bar. The waterfront setting provides opportunities to observe kayakers, boats, waterfowl and other wildlife that frequent the area, creating a memorable backdrop for lunch, dinner or drinks with friends and family.

The menu features approachable dishes inspired by Great Lakes coastal cuisine, including fish, burgers and creative vegetable-forward offerings. Seasonal ingredients influence the menu throughout the year, highlighting the restaurant’s commitment to fresh flavors and sustainable sourcing.

By combining locally grown food, scenic surroundings and a welcoming atmosphere, Coriander Kitchen and Farm continues to attract diners seeking an authentic farm-to-table experience in Detroit.
