Durham restaurant recs
It feels strange to start this thread, since I know I've read multiple posts with this information, but I haven't had much luck with the "Search" function...
I have a client whose husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor this year, and they have decided to travel to Duke Hospital for treatment. They start right after the New Year. My client and her husband are surprisingly hopeful/upbeat despite the prognosis.
I would love to share some restaurant recommendations, preferably a range of places -- upscale to casual (although not too "divey" regardless of how good the food is), different types of cuisine, etc. I guess the main constraint is they would be generally near the hospital/downtown Durham.
Here's what I found so far in combing through threads:
JuJus - Upscale Tapas
Fosters & Refectory Cafe - breakfast?
Gugulhupf - looks cool but maybe better for summer/beer garden
Pizzeria Toro
Torero's Mexican - is this upscale or typical Mexican fare? - couldn't tell from the posts
Thanks in advance, I know my client will appreciate it.
P.S. If anyone wants to share some tips on the best way to search the threads, a PM would be helpful too. Whenever I enter search criteria, I get a long list of threads but can't figure out how to navigate through the list and find the information.
