A quick detour to Middlebury, Indiana

While Das Dutchman Essenhaus is a bit out of the way, it’s worth making a stop there before crossing the Michigan border on any trip to our “mitten” neighbor, especially if you love pie.

Das Dutchman Essenhaus is a hotel, restaurant, bakery and shopping area in Middlebury, Indiana.

You’ll also find activities to keep you entertained for hours, but the Amish family-style meal at the restaurant is the star.

Every meal comes with a slice of pie from its selection of more than 30 offerings that are baked daily. In the summer, the restaurant features fresh fruit pies, and every single one of them is a delight.
