Sure, we love our big and fabulous restaurants -- nobody enjoys having to wait for a table, after all. But there's just something about eating in one of Detroit's smaller joints that feels so much more cozy and uniquely local, where striking up a conversation with a stranger isn't so strange after all when they're dining less than a foot away. As such, we've gathered 20 of our favorite tiny dining spots for you to enjoy. They span a variety of cuisines and neighborhoods, but they do share a few things: the space is small, the seating is limited and the food is oh-so delicious.

Three Blind Mice
101 N Main St, Mt Clemens
586-961-6371
This low-key Irish pub in the Clem in cozy and full of beer. Make sure you hit up their brunch on Sunday mornings that is a buffet of Irish classics and your favorite breakfast staples. Plus, the patio in the summer is pretty awesome, too.

La Feria
4130 Cass Ave, Detroit

Spanish tapas? Yes, Spanish tapas. This little restaurant on Cass Ave in Detroit knows a thing or two about small plates. The food is delicious, the sangria is to die for, and the ambiance is amazing.
