Spanish-Inspired Eatery Antidote to Open in Detroit’s East Village

Antidote will open at 14628 E. Jefferson Avenue in Detroit's East Village neighborhood on Jan. 19, owner Nya Marshall says, according to Patch. The Spanish-themed restaurant sits along Jefferson Avenue near the Detroit-Grosse Pointe Park border. It occupies the former home of Norma G's.

Diners will find mussels steamed in cider with chorizo. Marinated leeks with saffron-garlic beurre blanc appear on the menu too. So does Catalan-style cod. Marshall says Antidote draws from Spanish cooking traditions while incorporating flavors from around the world, including Mediterranean influences, as per Patch.

Marshall is a Detroit entrepreneur who founded Ivy Kitchen + Cocktails. The new spot has been doing a soft opening before the grand opening later this month.

Wine selections span across Europe, the Americas, and other regions. Marshall said the spot also features a cocktail program that includes a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Antidote will offer brunch and dinner service. There's also a space for private dining. You can find more information via their website.
