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.

    Nice to have different and creative choices on a menu. Not fancy and frilly, but tasty and reasonable. The Irish duo playing and singing was lots of fun, just a bit too loud....as seems to be the standard everywhere.

    Kind of a fun place to go to. The owners. And bartenders are always there and so friendly. They have a nice beer list and wine list and no hesitation in recommending and describing the dishes. I had the German Doner sandwich. My girlfriend had the mushroom ravioli and loved it.

    C & G is, simply, the one constant we can rely on for food in downtown Detroit! Excellent every time. Other places can't have that said about them. The special, arctic char I think it was, was just a live in the moment kind of deliciousness! It was so good that time stopped!

    The food was delicious! The live music was also very good, but far too loud. We came to eat and for good conversation. The sound of the musician over powered discussion and made it hard to hear the waiter at times.
