Rappourt: A Hidden Gem in Ann Arbor

Tucked away on the backside of the Plymouth Road Mall, Rappourt might not be the easiest spot to stumble upon, but it’s well worth seeking out. This gastropub has built a reputation for its impressive beer selection—best explored via Untappd—and a menu that blends comfort food with adventurous flavors.

A Family-Friendly Gastropub

Rappourt offers a relaxed, communal atmosphere with shared seating at large picnic tables and counter ordering with table service. The high ceilings and lively crowd make it a vibrant place, though it does get loud enough that my kids have dubbed it The Loud Place. We come prepared with noise-canceling headphones—just in case.

Seva: A Hidden Gem for Cocktails in Ann Arbor

Seva is a lesser-known restaurant on the west side of Ann Arbor. Specializing in vegetarian and vegan fare and tucked away in the Westgate Shopping Center, you may not have heard of it—especially if you’re a carnivore. Which I am. That said, their kitchen does amazing things with the food they create, and their appetizer menu could be your whole meal. Seva also has a full bar and a menu of 10-12 cocktails that changes fairly regularly.
