Menu paralysis is a thing of the past in Grand Rapids – now you can experience a flight of unique menu options throughout this culinary haven! From ice cream to oysters, and beer to soju, diners are invited to take in beautiful selections from the kitchen and bar, all plated for the perfect #grandrapidsfoodie post. Take part in Flights of Flavor, happening throughout one of America’s Top 20 Food Cities.
Discover Grand Rapids’ Vibrant Culinary Scene
Flights of Flavor includes participating restaurants of all different shapes and sizes, allowing you to capture a mini-experience of the many options available in Grand Rapids. Head to Forty Acres Soul Kitchen for a Flight of Grits, or bring an appetite to Dreamscape Desserts for their “Let There Be Cupcakes” flight. A great introduction to flights is available at Love’s Ice Cream, which allows you to choose up to five flavors of their locally-sourced ice cream, including their dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and vegan options, at only $7.95.
A celebration of food and drink wouldn’t be complete without a cold one in Beer City USA! Be sure to head to Brewery Vivant, the world’s first LEED-certified microbrewery, for their unique flight, which offers four tastes inside, and then a four-pack to-go. Brewery Nyx is Michigan’s first gluten-free brewery, and their flight will show you how great beer can be without the barley. For those who prefer other styles of craft beverage, check out Farmhaus Cider for a taste of tradition in their Flight of Cider, or Speciation for several options of unique wild beer, wine, cider, and hard seltzers.
Already drooling? These eateries are just a few of the 30+ options available to Flight of Flavor guests!
