My hubby and I had brunch here and it was delicious. Their latte and BLT Morning crepe was amazing! Highly recommend sitting outside.
PRESS Coffee Crêpes Cocktails
Coffee in North Hills
Jubala Coffee
Our favorite steakhouse in Raleigh.
Oak Steakhouse
Fun menu with a spin on traditional Mexican foods. I especially love their Mahi Mahi street tacos.
La Santa Mexican Restaurant
Big portions and loud, but fun atmosphere!
Colletta
Their meatballs (polpette) is amazing!! Sometimes we just stop in for this. I also enjoy their chicken marsala and green beans. The owner is very friendly and will come over to your table to make sure everyone is satisified.
Garibaldi of Garner
The menu here is very expansive! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone with visitors from out of town or those who need a large menu with a lot of options. The vibe inside is enjoyable.
Village Tavern
We love this location in Fuquay. The staff is very friendly and they even serve cornbread with cinnamon applesauce. It's delicious. I always have the two egg breakfast with crispy bacon and sourdough toast.
Famous Toastery
The fish tacos and Bavette Saltado was amazing. We also tried the Goat Cheese Cheesecake and it was delicious.
Aaktun Restaurant, Coffee & Tiki Bar
Thin sliced pizza with minimal sauce is my favorite. I'm super picky about my pizza and haven't had a bad slice here.
Divano's Pizzeria
Dumplings are amazing!! The vibe inside is really nice. The location at Fenton is new, and their other location in downtown Raleigh is really nice too.
Brewery Bhavana - Fenton
The ramen here is the best in the Triangle. They allow you to pick your spice level. The parking on the weekend and during weekday lunch can be a bit of a challenge, but just plan ahead and you'll be fine.
GEN RAMEN
Classic and Timeless Steak Restaurant in Raleigh! Reservations can be made up to 120 days in advance. Keep this in mind because it's not easy to get into the Angus Barn around the holidays or Valentine's Day. The steaks here are different from The Oak in Raleigh, they are dry aged here so some prefer this. Worth mentioning since I also have The Oak on my list of recommendations.
Angus Barn
Cute for a girls brunch, lunch or dinner. I love their salmon salad. They get busy so make sure you have a reservation in place before you go.
Rosewater Kitchen & Bar
Quiet and cozy atmosphere. Sometimes during dinner they have a live artist playing music. Great place for a date or anniversary dinner. Moussaka is my go to dish here along with a side salad.
Alexander's Mediterranean Cuisine
You have to try their sushi tower! It's well-known in this area and absolutely delicious. When we are craving sushi, this is the place we normally choose because reservations aren't needed. I don't think we've ever had to wait for a table, they have enough staff working to make everything move quick.
