7 Best Gastropubs in Grand Rapids

“Noco provisions proceeds to be time and time again better than most restaurants in the area. Their service is amazing and prompt and their selection is affordable, and offers an almost fine dining experience. Would recommend to anybody for brunch or lunch. The only downside is if you want a side of the tuna, you will not be able to do so. you have to purchase it in a full meal.

Parking: Just outside the front of the store, roughly 60 parking spaces. It is almost always hard to find parking.

Kid-friendliness: They have a small children's area with play things.“

“POUTINE WEEK! September 13-28 on Michigan St in Grand Rapids.

- Braised Short Rib Poutine (GLUTEN-FREE!!) - $20: It was the only gluten-free option we could find. Poutine has gravy which is typically made with flour, but can be made with corn starch. They have a gluten-free option which is basically without the Mint Gremolata (which we didn’t want anyway). It was the last serving of the night since they ran out. It was VERY good, so I can see why it ran out.

The hand-cut fries were medium shoestring cut and were mainly soaked in the gravy. The texture wasn’t too bad for what it sounds, though.

The braised short rib was the main player in the dish. It was very tender and you could tell they went all out.

The cheese curds were classic poutine. I thought there wasn’t enough when looking at it, but was actually spot on (there were actually a few leftover at the end).

The citrus crema was potent by itself to the taste, but once stirred in, a wonderful nuance.

I am seriously considering it as first place, but the price tag was $20. It was a good value, though for sure! It was a large plate!!

- Diner Style Smash Burger - $18: Also, I have been wanting to try their smash burger. Couldn’t resist.

The smash burger patty was high quality and cooked right. The bacon was thick and tasty. The toppings were also higher quality and well balanced. The cheese was slightly on the lighter side, but worked in this case really well.

I was really looking forward to the Nantucket bun, but the sesame seeds were a bit over done. The bun was good, though.

- Service: We were allowed to choose our own seats. Some of the tables were not yet cleaned up, so it was a little slim pickings. The waitress was very positive, knowledgeable, and helpful. There was a mix-up about the poutine. We wanted gluten-free and it was not understood the first time, but it was noted and corrected BEFORE it was actually made.

I wasn’t too excited to use the online menu, though. It worked for us since we already knew what we wanted.

- Atmosphere: Darker industrial feel with wood accents. There was softer and quieter music in the background and it was a great quiet place to stop. We dined indoors, but there is outdoor dining out back or on the ROOF!

- Conclusion: This place has a lot to offer! The exterior is a bit deceiving. It is amazing on the inside. It is clean and professional. The food is high quality and at a fair price. It is a little more expensive, but it is worth the price you pay.

6:30-7:30pm Thursday September 19, 2024.

Dietary restrictions: The gluten-free poutine they made for Poutine Week was amazing! Up in the top tier. They have other gluten-free items and options and I suspect they are great.

Parking: Took me some time to figure out parking, but you can park behind the Grand Coney if there isn’t any parking available close by (which there almost certainly won’t be). It is public parking and there is a lot of it.

Street parking will cost money before 7pm on weekdays, but will be convenient. Off street parking will mean walking, but free.“

“Such a very cool and exciting space right in Breton village. Many vegan and dairy free options available for my lactose intolerant stomach to digest, which makes me VERY happy. The walls and decor and overall vibe are so eccentric and inviting.the siracha honey glaze on the pretzel sticks are absolutely delicious as was the southwest chicken bowl and the vegan donut sundae. Definetley worth coming in and checking out if you haven't tried it!“

“First time trying this place. Has a lot of potential to be one of my go-to spots. ordered the chicken sandwich. I Tasted pretty much only bread and sauce. There wasn’t much chicken like the pictures I seen but the Flavor was great though. Ordered a couple fantastic cocktails. Definitely worth another try!“

“Dinner before a show at the Wealthy Theatre on a Saturday night. Restaurant was busy, but no waiting for a table in their nice area outside…this was after 7pm.
Service was excellent and our food came out quickly.
Really enjoyed our meals. Menu offered an excellent variety. Lots of interesting ingredients and great flavors.
Prices were reasonable IMO. We’ll be back“

“The grilled cheese and tomato soup are amazing. The fall beer was so fun to try. ❤️“

“We came here for my daughter's 21st birthday dinner on a Monday night for their live Jazz music. Our first time, and definitely won't be our last! Everything was perfect, from the service, the food, the sangria, the atmosphere, and the music! What a special place...thank you for making my daughter's birthday such an excellent experience!“
