10 Metro Detroit Restaurants That Offer Igloo Dining

STRAIT – Igloo restoration has become increasingly popular during the coronavirus pandemic.

In recent weeks, this is the only option local restaurants have to provide diners with an in-person dining experience due to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s COVID-19 restrictions.

Restrictions closed indoor dining until December 8. Whitmer is awaiting more data from Thanksgiving to determine whether the state will extend the restrictions in place for three weeks.

With the possibility of restrictions being extended and cases of COVID-19 on the rise, igloo meals are the new normal.

Here is a list of restaurants in Metro Detroit that provide a cozy and warm igloo dining experience.

Many restaurants have a maximin spend amount that can cost over $ 300 while others don’t. Additionally, some businesses require reservations and deposits to be made online in advance.
