Bar Gabi

Bar Gabi is a bar and chef-driven restaurant in Hazel Park, Michigan, serving modern Romanian cuisine. The kitchen is led by Gabriel and Gabriela Botezan, a husband-and-wife team who met on the line in Metro Detroit's Italian kitchens and became known together as G2, or Gabi Gabi. Gabriel runs the savory side; Gabriela leads pastry. Both were born in Romania, and their cooking draws on Transylvanian tradition, modern Bucharest, and their Italian training. The menu pairs dishes such as langos and squid ink pasta with a drinks list, and dessert is a stated priority. The dining room is dinner-only and built around a central bar; the entire bar is held for walk-ins, who can order the full menu first-come, first-served. Reservations are accepted for up to six guests, with larger parties to follow. The restaurant also offers catering and private dining events. It holds a rating of 4.90 from customer reviews.

Bar Gabi sits on John R Road in Hazel Park. The North and South Walter P. Chrysler Freeway are both about 0.3 miles away, and Felker Memorial Park is roughly the same distance.

The restaurant's following reflects its standing among Hazel Park's dining and drinking spots, and its 4.90 rating comes from the customers who have reviewed it.
