Detroit’s popular Marrow restaurant is expanding with a new project in the city’s Eastern Market district. 

Located at 2442 Riopelle St., Marrow in the Market is set to open at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 13.

The space has a “butcher’s brasserie” vibe which includes a meat processing facility and butcher shop, two bars, a large dining room, and private event space.

“At Marrow, our mission is to nourish our community with exceptional food, responsibly sourced meat, and meaningful hospitality,” said owner Ping Ho. “From the plate to the butcher counter to the events we host, we strive to create experiences rooted in purpose, connection, and care. Marrow in the Market is designed to be a national showcase offering something wholly unique — a restaurant on top of a working meat plant.”

The owners envision the space as complementing Eastern Market’s lively weekend farmers’ and shopping markets by selling fresh meats, sausages, deli cuts, and other gourmet offerings. 

Led by culinary director Andrew Shedden, Marrow in the Market will also serve lunch, with a rotating menu of sandwiches, rotisserie chicken, and grilled meats available for dine-in or carryout. There are also plans for brunch, and an event space will host private themed dinners and educational events.

The facility will provide meats for Marrow’s other locations and partners, including its flagship at 8044 Kercheval St. in Detroit and a recently opened suburban outpost at 283 Hamilton Row in Birmingham.
