This Michigan Restaurant Has the Best Chinese Food in the State

Chinese food is among the most popular kinds of takeout food. I absolutely love getting delicious Chinese takeout, and being a vegetarian, there are always plenty of vegetable options. Of course, carnivores also find lots to like about Chinese food, so it's a win-win overall.

If you enjoy good Chinese takeout, the crew at LoveFood.com has done the work to find the best Chinese food in all of Michigan. I can't imagine how fun it must have been to try different Chinese cousin throughout the state to determine the best. The outlet calls itself "the tastiest guide on the web," which can only be a good thing.

"The US has some incredible Chinese restaurants, from longstanding Chinatown mainstays serving roast duck and chop suey to popular dim sum spots," LoveFood.com states. "There's so much good food, in fact, that picking the best place to eat can be as overwhelming as selecting a favorite dish. We’ve done the hard work by seeking out the most highly rated Chinese restaurant in every state and Washington DC, from sleek modern spots to family-run favorites."

So, which Chinese restaurant is the No. 1 in Michigan? According to the study, The Peterboro in Detroit takes the honor. "Located in Detroit's historic Chinatown, The Peterboro is a stylish yet laid-back spot with colourful, industrial-chic decor and serves a contemporary take on traditional Chinese cooking," LoveFood.com states. "Standout items include the crab rangoon and inventive twists on classics such as these cheeseburger spring rolls (pictured). The restaurant also serves an impressive range of cocktails."

Michigan has some great restaurants and fantastic views, so it makes sense that many establishments combine both. With the Great Lakes and so many inland lakes, there are plenty of Michigan restaurants that overlook water, making that dining experience extra special.

Now that the weather is getting nicer, it's an even better time to explores this state and find some eateries with incredible views. The crew at Michigan.org recently put together a list of 12 Michigan restaurants with beautiful views, and we're sharing it below.

One of the restaurants, The Cudahy Chophouse Restaurant on Mackinac Island, has sadly closed since their article published. In place of that spot, I picked my own favorite Michigan restaurant with a view, which is The Butler in downtown Saugatuck. The Butler has been situated on the water in Saugatuck for more than 60 years and offers fresh seafood, classic American cuisine and more. It's a casual dining restaurant, so no need to get fancy.

One of the spots that made Michigan.org's list is very familiar to me: The English Inn in Eaton Rapids. That was the best spot to go for prom when I was in high school, so I ate at The English Inn at least twice in high school on prom night. "Cozy is the hallmark of this restaurant and inn, where you can warm yourself by a crackling fire while gazing over what feels like the grounds of your private castle estate," Michigan.org states of The English Inn. "The 15-acre property was developed just 30 minutes from Lansing for auto baron Irving Jacob Reuter and his wife Janet, and the view still includes their pergola, swimming pool and gazebo. After a formal meal upstairs, retire to the lower level English pub for a nightcap." Read the full list below and try to visit at least one of these delightful spots this season.
