Pegasus Taverna

558 Monroe St., Detroit, 48226, MI

Detroit is really known for its Greektown. Even when the city wasn’t popular during the 80s and 90s, Greektown was probably the busiest, most vibrant nightlife area in the D. The most famous Greektown haunt is Pegasus Taverna. Your family must try the flaming Greek Kasseri cheese appetizer — Saganaki. The waiter brings out a cheese plate and dramatically lights it on fire at your table (yelling OPA! as the flames shoot up). This is such a popular Detroit thing that they do flaming opa cheese at diners all around the city — you can tell the best ones by the scorch marks on the ceiling.
