LeCulture Cafe

An upscale downtown Detroit restaurant known as a popular destination for dates and birthdays, Le Culture Cafe has permanently shut down its Brush Street location after being temporarily closed since before the holidays.

Last week, however, chef and owner Drew Matthews debuted his new, streamlined business Culture Soul. The carryout-only spot on Eight Mile serves a lot of the same seafood and chops that Le Culture was known for, plus soul food dishes.
