Your Spring 2025 Restaurant Guide

May 5, 2025

The new spring restaurant guide of the Northern Express - sister publication of The Ticker - will take you around northern Michigan and around the world with Indian, Thai, Italian, and Mexican cuisine, plus a classic American steakhouse. Staff have also found lighter eats for breakfast and lunch focused on allergen-free, locally-sourced, and good-for-you (and the soul) bites from smoothies to salads to sandwiches.

Some of these spots are in their first year of operation, while others are celebrating 15 or 50 (!) years in the business. Best of all, you’ll see a few familiar names, as local chefs and restaurant owners branch out into new endeavors. The Northern Express is available to read online, or pick up a free copy on newsstands at more than 650 locations in 13 counties across northern Michigan.
