Lunchin’ at BESA

Craving BESA for lunch? You aren’t alone. “We’ve had a lot of requests from guests wanting to dine with us during their lunch break or for a mid-day business meeting, and we’ve answered that by now offering lunch service every weekday,” said Mario Camaj, managing partner of BESA. Located at 600 Woodward Avenue, Detroit, the restaurant’s new lunch hours are from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Rice Flour & Coconut Udon, Wild Ahi Crudo, Steak Frites, and a Fried Chicken Sandwich – along with an array of salads, soups, and more entrees – grace the new lunch menu designed by Executive Chef Kyle Schutte.
