Funky Mediterranean

Bohemia, a new upbeat and funky Mediterranean concept from Adam Merkel Restaurants, has officially opened in downtown Royal Oak.  Set below Merkel’s Pinky’s Rooftop, and adjacent to Pearl’s Deep Dive, Bohemia offers a bright and bold atmosphere, with lots of texture, colorful tile work, woodworking and greenery. Meals are cooked over real charcoal, a traditional Mediterranean method that adds a unique flavor profile to each dish, and the restaurant’s open-kitchen concept puts chefs on display for guests to watch as their meal is prepared. Bohemia’s menu offers an array of salatim (Israeli dips and salads), hummus and kabobs. Featured items include branzino, lamb chops, vegan kafta, halloumi cheese, and bread fired to order in a tandoor oven. Bohemia also offers an extensive list of reserve wine, Champagne, and signature cocktails such as the Detox Retox (tequila, cucumber, mint, lime, matcha), Bohemian Rhapsody (Valentine Vodka, lemon, strawberry, tarragon), and Pistachio Martini. “Our team has envisioned this concept for over five years, and it’s beyond exciting to see it all finally come to life,” said owner Adam Merkel. “The food tastes and feels incredibly authentic, while still maintaining a vibe that is true to our brand. We can’t wait to share Bohemia with the community!” 100 S. Main Street, Royal Oak  eatatbohemia.com
