5-on-5 is our highly-subjective series of lists released on the 5th day of every month. Our goal is to have fun sharing some of our favorites in various categories. From fish to French fries, pizza to pasties, follow our foodie lists for monthly recommendations across Michigan.
The number of restaurants in and around Ann Arbor is staggering. Here are five spots we recommend checking out.
Vinology
The King Crab Salsa at Vinology is bright and refreshing, while fried-to-order tortilla chips provide the perfect crunch.
Sava’s
Sava’s makes the short list for best breakfast spots in Ann Arbor. Savor their elevated breakfast sandwich built with chorizo, bacon, smoked gouda cheese, and more.
Frita Batidos
It is no secret that Frita Batidos is an Ann Arbor gem. The Inspired Cuban sandwich and The Best Side Ever (coconut-ginger rice, black beans, muenster cheese, and cilantro lime salsa) are standouts. Sip a Mojito while you wait for your food to arrive!
New York Pizza Depot
For a quick lunch, we suggest a large, foldable slice or two at New York Pizza Depot.
Aventura
The Atún (yellowfin tuna) small plate at Aventura was a home run. Read more about it in our Pic of the Week feature.
