About this restaurant

Scott Howell opened Nana’s over 25 years ago in the Rockwood neighborhood of Durham, quickly garnering national recognition and establishing Nana’s as a destination for seasonally inspired American cuisine. Scott has been nominated eight times for Best Chef: Southeast by the James Beard Foundation and was at the forefront of Durham’s transformation into one of the South’s great dining cities. Nana’s is both a beloved neighborhood bar and fine dining restaurant.
Nana’s menu changes based on the season and locally available ingredients. It includes customer favorites like Scott’s seasonal risottos and truffled chicken liver paté — and entrées like rosemary roasted lamb rack and a wood fired prime New York strip steak. Nana’s offers daily specials highlighting local produce and North Carolina seafood. The drinks menu includes select cocktails, a great selection of craft beers and a curated list of wines by the glass and bottle.
