Ivanhoe's cafe

If you wanted to eat fine fried perch on the set of 70's mob movie-search no further. Don't let the neighborhood throw you, anyone who was anyone in Detroit history has eaten here. Small, neighborhood cafe/bar with rich history and food to match. Best coleslaw I've ever ingested, and I'm not a coleslaw guy. Screwy hours, but worth the effort. Not a lot of elbow room on busy days, but an opportunity to use the same urinal that local legends Hitman Hearns through Bill Bonds likely christened after a few cocktails.

Quintessentially an Ole School Detroit Bar that jus did a few items on the menu but Oh Boy they are done REALLY good! Opened since 1909 and one of the first restaurants I visited as a child back in 1973 when I immigrated here and lived not tok far from the Cafe/Bar, imagine I come back and nothing has changed! It's like stepping back into my childhood memories! Ok enough about my mushy memories! The Food! Yea here too nothing has changed but in an excellently delisious way, still the best perch, walleye in town, some of the yummiest Polish Specials but most of all the ambiance here gives off European friendly with low warm lighting vibe that jus made my whole experience Right, jus Right, felt I went back home to Europe and was visiting Baba's house and she jus happened to have a few people over for Dinner! Ahhhh I'll be visiting and soon! Side note here the hours vary please call them, reserve a table, come and Enjoy!

Seafood Platter outstanding. The whole experience from the coleslaw to the pickles and peppers cabbage soup and the atmosphere it definitely worth more than 5 stars
