Few dining locales anywhere are more picturesque than Grand Hotel’s Main Dining Room. It overlooks the world’s longest porch and the hotel’s many American flags, as well as the glistening Straits of Mackinac. It is here that a full breakfast, the Grand Luncheon Buffet and five-course dinner—all included in the social guest room rate—are less like meals and more like special events, each a highlight of the Grand Hotel experience.

At Grand Hotel, breakfast includes a wide selection of entrees, including omelettes and made-to-order eggs, hot and cold cereals, pancakes and French toast with real Michigan maple syrup, hot oatmeal, breakfast meats and salmon, fresh breads and pastries, fresh juices, fruits and more.  For those who prefer a buffet is also available.

Available for those who missed service in the Main Dining Room.

The legendary Grand Luncheon Buffet is one of the highlights of the Grand Hotel experience. Garden-fresh salads, savory cheeses, slow-roasted meats, seafood and more than 20 varieties of fresh-baked pastries are all featured at the buffet.

The Main Dining Room’s dinner menu is renowned for its range and excellence, with three menus rotating throughout the season. The five-course meal can include a variety of tastes to suit virtually every discerning palate. The well-stocked wine cellar offers abundant choices of domestic and imported vintages. Our sommelier will gladly suggest the right wine to accompany your meal.

Each evening following dinner, demitasse is served in the Parlor, accompanied by music from The Grand Hotel Orchestra.

A special children's dinner program is also available each evening from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.

As part of the Modified plan or the American plan guests can enjoy a more casual atmosphere at The Jockey Club at The Grand Stand.  In addition at our other offsite restaurants, Woods or The Gate House guests receive a $20.00 per adult credit towards the food portion of your dinner bill. There is tipping at these offsite Grand Hotel restaurants.

The Grand Hotel experience includes dressing for dinner. Evening wear is required in all areas of the hotel: coat and tie for gentlemen, and dress or pantsuit for ladies after 6:30 p.m.
