(2 minute walk). Fresh caught fish of the day served outdoors from Durham’s smallest food joint. Great spice mixes and side salads. Go for lunch because it closes when it runs out of fish.

Korean Fusion food, amazing tempura. The chefs are incredibly talented and creative. You’ll likely miss it the first time around because it is hidden around the corner from its sister restaurant MSushi (also good). Put your name on the list and go grab a cocktail at the Durham Hotel or Alley 26 before you go back to grab a tasty bite.

Mateo Bar de Tapas
109 W Chapel Hill StVery tasty tapas and nice, relaxed environment
Best Italian restaurant in the area. Award-winning food, great ingredients and fair prices. It’s in a strip mall, though. You might be tempted to go to Mother’s and Sons downtown which is the other nice Italian restaurant. While the food is good it is not comparable to Gocciolina and it is much more expensive.

Drinks & Nightlife
This brewery is very close to our home and their beer is very good. The bar is simple and the outdoor space isn’t much to look at but you can’t beat the convenience.

Across the street from Motorco, Fullsteam is a brewery that always has some kind of event going on (from Trivia, Run Club, Sunday morning recovery yoga, craft markets, food swaps). They also serve food and have a selection of board games. They don’t brew the best pint in town but they are a staple of the community. If you’re in town on a Monday a local caterer sets up shop inside Fullsteam and sells very good Indian food.

Best cocktails downtown. Just ask the bartender, they will custom make you a drink. We often go here while waiting for a seat to open at our favorite restaurants and then wish we could stay all night.
