New Spanish-Inspired Restaurant Opens In Detroit's Brush Park

DETROIT — A new Spanish restaurant opened Wednesday in Detroit’s Brush Park neighborhood.

Leña, a Catalan and Basque inspired Spanish restaurant, opened inside a new mixed-use development at 2720 Brush St.

The menu features many Spanish dinners, including Catalan and Basque inspired dishes. The new restaurant also offers wood-fired meat entrees and Spanish-infused desserts, as well as vegetable and seafood options, and much more.

The new restaurant also offers a Spanish wine collection that focuses primarily on organic, sustainable and biodynamic wines.

"One of the great things about what I realized from my travels to Spain is that hospitality is what it’s really about," Director of Operations at Leña Mindy Lopus told Detroit Metro Times. "It’s about creating a family, whether it’s a family of staff or a family of your community. So, we wanted to really just give it this celebratory feel and I think we’ve gotten pretty successful at doing that."

Leña is open from 5-10 p.m. Wednesday-Friday, 4-10 p.m. Saturday and 3-9 p.m. Sunday. Reservations are available here.
