Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill Fusion / Eclectic Restaurants

At Margaux's Restaurant in Raleigh we combine our ever-changing menu, a flare for impeccable service, and an energetic ambience with a progressive decor and the result is a favored dining experience for those from near and far for 19 years.

We say it is the Perfect Fusion of a High-Energy Metropolis and Soulful Southern Hospitality. You'll say it's Downright Awesome! Come be a part of the dining experience and understand why we still stand strong after all these years.

Elements offers simple, yet elegantly composed food in a serene, contemporary setting. From the moment you walk in to the last delicious morsel you will taste, we promise to deliver a unique and exquisite dining experience. Our cuisine combines classical as well as modern Asian and European cooking techniques to enhance the flavors of local and sustainable ingredients. Our menu changes often to capitalize on the freshest and most seasonal fare. We believe George Barnard Shaw said it best when he said, "There is no love sincerer than the love of food." We couldn't agree more. From fork to mouth, we wish you good eats.

Arriving in Cary in 1991, proprietors Michael & Gayle Schiffer opened Maximillians Grill. Using only the freshest seafood, beef and produce the area has to offer, Maximillians remains one of the elite eateries in the Triangle. Chef Schiffer's signature style of intense, free-form, fusion cooking has defined Maximillians for decades and will continue to do so.

Over the last 20 years, we have lived and traveled around the world. The one constant theme we realized is how different foods from different cultures can unite us, regardless of nationality. Meals provide the opportunity to meet new people, share stories and offer new experiences. At Plates Kitchen, we hope that you will enjoy some of our favorite international dishes combined with our regional southern flavors.
