Mediterrano

Mediterrano brings the sun-drenched flavors of the Mediterranean to the heart of Ann Arbor, Michigan, at 2900 S State St. This beloved neighborhood restaurant has earned its reputation as one of the area's premier dining destinations, blending authentic recipes with seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients. Under the guidance of Chef Raúl Cob, a native of Valencia, Spain—the birthplace of paella—guests experience the true artistry of Spanish-Mediterranean cooking. The restaurant's signature Paella Tuesdays have become a cherished tradition, featuring the classic Valenciana, a rich vegan option, and the newest addition: a steak paella with seared NY strip and shishito peppers over fragrant saffron rice. The lunch menu showcases creative rice bowls, including a marinated chicken version atop herbed saffron rice with tzatziki, hummus, and fresh vegetables, plus a quinoa bowl with avocado, artichokes, and crispy chickpeas. The dinner menu highlights include buttery salmon brightened by tart sumac and pomegranate gremolata, served with golden herbed saffron rice, alongside the popular Tomato & Burrata Salad with heirloom tomatoes, crispy capers, and pickled shallots. Mediterrano features a beautiful covered outdoor patio, perfect for al fresco dining on warm Michigan evenings. Private dining and catering services are available for special events. Open Monday through Saturday from 11am to 9pm, this Ann Arbor institution continues to delight locals and visitors alike with its warm hospitality and exceptional Mediterranean cuisine.
