-
A former dairy farm turned village, with white-linen tables and intimate rooms that make every dinner feel slightly ceremonial. This fine dining room sits at the heart of Fearrington Village outside Pittsboro, and the kitchen leans into its pastoral surroundings with a seasonal menu that pulls from the property's own gardens. The chocolate soufflé has become the kind of thing regulars plan around. A Forbes Four Star property.

Rank 10. Nanas
French-influenced Italian
The chocolate soufflé has its own fan club, which tells you something about a French-Italian restaurant that's been around forever on Durham's dining scene. New owners have kept the old favorites, including a North Carolina shrimp remoulade that predates them, while leaning into pasta and wood-grilled larger plates. The room has a warm, smart retro feel, the kind that makes a weeknight dinner feel like a small occasion.

Rank 12. Nikos
Greek
A Greek and Mediterranean restaurant tucked into a restored tobacco warehouse, with exposed red brick and that particular blend of rustic and sleek that reads as modern tavern. The menu runs the classics, spanakopita, octopus, baklava, with the meze platter doing the heavy lifting for a group. Pair it with a glass of Greek white and the Durham industrial surroundings do their quiet best to approximate the Aegean, which is more convincing than it sounds.
-
Rank 13. Seraphine
Southern
A moody Southern restaurant tucked into the restored American Tobacco complex, Seraphine pulls off the trick of feeling both historic and a little sultry at once. The marble bar is a good place to start with a cocktail before moving on to fried shrimp, broiled oysters, or a bowl of gumbo. A large terrace opens things up when the weather cooperates. End with the beignets, which the room seems to expect you to order.

Rank 15. Little Bull
Mexican
The tom kha ceviche is the tell: this is a Mexican kitchen shaped by a chef who clearly cooked his way across the whole country before landing in Durham. Small and larger plates for sharing, with enough vibrant, produce-forward cooking to suggest a stint on the West Coast. Cold beers and house cocktails keep things easy. A Michelin Selected spot, and one of the more interesting things happening on N Mangum St.
