I feel like this is a question that I get in my DM’s fairly often, so figured it was time to round up my favorite Raleigh and Durham restaurant spots on the blog! I will say that I think we have a great restaurant scene here, and so does Bon Appetit apparently with how many restaurants have been on their lists over the years! There are really so many options, so while we haven’t been everywhere, I wanted to share some of our personal favorites plus spots I’ve heard great things about/have wanted to try! Let me know if I missed any of your favorites, and I’ll also keep adding to this list as we go to more places.
