Please message us if you are having trouble locating the the group.

"Feather bowling, steamed mussels and other Belgian specialities, burgers, sandwiches, and pommes frites, live music, and more than three dozen beers from Belgium (over 40 more from elsewhere around the world)... at the Cadieux Cafe, as the bumper sticker on the wall says, “It’s Beautiful To Be Belgian.”

Since its days as a Prohibition-era speakeasy, the Cadieux Cafe has been a social hub for Metro Detroit's Belgian population. Flemish culture flourishes at the Cadieux, which is or has been the unofficial headquarters for an array of clubs promoting pastimes from across the pond, including pigeon racing, archery, bicycling, darts and, of course, feather bowling. The Cadieux Cafe was one of the few Detroit restaurants featured on Anthony Bourdain’s tv show, No Reservations, and in a few of his books. The Michigan Traditional Arts Program awarded the Cadieux the Michigan Heritage Award for “continuing family and community cultural traditions with excellence and authenticity”."
