Vin Rouge

The most consistent french food in Durham. This is an absolute favorite place for date nights, particularly with the prix fixe menu and dollar oysters on Tuesdays. The cocktails have some nice creativity and the wine menu is extensive and well curated. Very reasonably priced for the quality and the ambiance feels authentic.

My friends and I had a family style meal. As someone who has been to Paris, this restaurant is as close as you will get to exquisite French cuisine. They have a beautiful French wine selection and the main courses are cooked to perfection (unless you cannot handle the French rare steak. That's how the French do steak ).

My favorite course is dessert and the dark chocolate mousse is decadent.

Vin Rouge is a must if you're in the area!

Very nice atmosphere. Indeed gives you a feeling once inside of being transported to some place in France. Oysters were great. Sweetbread appetizer was great (particularly the greens on the side). Main dish also very solid with suprisingly large portions. Almost 5 stars. Will go back to double check on it.

Most recently there for a combined Mother’s Day/graduation brunch. Excellent fresh, quality French food. Every time I have been, I’ve walked away wanting to return. Nice atmosphere on the patio.

Had a Mother's day brunch. Our 4 meals weren't served at the same time. Salmon was good, but had no starch on the plate. A few other small, but surprising issues. Wanted to like it, but probably won't go back.
