Life has changed quite a bit over the last year, but coming together with others to enjoy a delicious meal – that you did not have to prepare or clean up after! – remains a favorite pastime.
In light of these changes, restaurants and eateries throughout Mid-Michigan are getting creative with their dining options. Enter igloos, shanties, and heated outdoor dining!
So if you are looking for a night off from the kitchen or want to safely gather with others, we’ve put together an interactive map and guide to all the amazing Mid-Michigan restaurants that offer igloo, shanty, and outdoor dining. Bon appétit!
Local regulations and guidelines related to dining change often and unexpectedly. Before heading out to any of the locations listed, please call or check their social media pages for the latest options, availabilities, and requirements for igloo and outdoor dining.
Did we miss a local igloo or outdoor dining option?
