- SSamanthaVIPRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •28 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a great experience at true food! Very nice ambience- we sat outside on the patio for brunch. Tried the avocado toast, blueberry pancakes and breakfast tacos which were all amazing! The brunch cocktails did not disappoint either! You can’t beat the food with such quality ingredients for the price! We will definitely be back!More infoTrue Food Kitchen - RaleighPrice: Moderate• American• Raleigh•4.5
- JJulieVIPSouth Carolina •21 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had an incredible first time experience at Sullivan’s last night for my birthday. The vibe in the restaurant is lots of fun, the music was on point. Our waiter was wonderful and the food was delicious.More infoSullivan's Steakhouse - RaleighPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Raleigh•4.2
- BBenadetteRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoI wish I could remember our server’s name from last night because he was absolutely fantastic! I’ll blame it on the couple of amazing drinks I had (🫣), but his service was truly top-notch. Coming from someone who used to lead a team of incredible servers at a 5-star restaurant, I can confidently say he was impeccable. The food? Every single bite was pure perfection—so flavorful and satisfying. And the ambience? It transported me straight to somewhere like Santorini. It was my first time dining here, but it’s already earned a spot on my list of favorite go-to restaurants. I’ll definitely be back!More infoBrewery Bhavana - DowntownPrice: Moderate• Brewery• Raleigh•4.8
- WWalterRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review5.0Dined on Feb 3, 2025No waiting to be seated for our reservation. Seated the two od us at a spacious 4-top. Very professional service person. Great wine list. Waiter offered to decant out wine selection. Took the time to answer questions. The meal was outstanding, (pork chop and lamb rack) side of mushroom and Brussel sprouts. We walked out with left-overs as the meals and sides were well sized. Compared to our recent experience at Sullivan's we thought we were in Hevan. Their coat room was staffed. Everyone was very nice and we had no-charge valet parking. Of course we tipped everyone well because they deserved it. A must visit.More infoPerry's Steakhouse & Grille - RaleighPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Raleigh•4.5
- LLatishaRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •8 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 3, 2025RH Rooftop Raleigh offers an outstanding dining experience that combines exquisite cuisine with a stunning atmosphere. The elegant decor and inviting ambiance set the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. I started with the burrata, which was creamy and delightful, followed by the Mulholland Salad—a refreshing blend of flavors and textures. For dessert, the butterscotch brûlée was truly indulgent, featuring a perfectly caramelized top and rich filling. What truly stood out was the exceptional customer service. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making me feel valued throughout my visit. Overall, this place is a culinary gem that I highly recommend. I can't wait to return!More infoRH Rooftop Restaurant at RH RaleighPrice: Very Expensive• American• Raleigh•4.6

Discover Chapel Hill
As one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country, it's no surprise that the restaurant scene keeps heating up in Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. These central North Carolina cities are collectively known as the Triangle, and, thanks in part to the number of universities and colleges in the area, there is an abundance of excellent restaurant options. Although essentially every type of international and American cuisine is available, some of the more prevalent options are eclectic Asian, Italian, steakhouse and seafood. Chapel Hill has one of the oldest restaurant and bars known for great hamburgers while an upscale Durham restaurant serves Mexican dishes with a modern touch. Classic southern fare is of course on the menu too.
