Best Historic Restaurants in Durham

Very cosy dining room. Exceptional service. Delicious entrees.

Massimo’s is a wonderful restaurant. “Old world” elegant. The food is excellent. My friend and I went for restaurant week and had a delicious 3 course meal!

We celebrated our anniversary and it was fantastic

First time here. We were going to sit upstairs but decided to check out the tavern before dinner and there we stayed. Great vibe, food and service. The staff is extremely friendly and want to make sure you enjoy. We will be back!

We had a delightful time at the Silver Fountain Tea Parlor. The atmosphere, the attentive server, the delicious tea and accompaniments made our time there special. This has always been our go-to for tea parlours, but this time, we noticed the portion size of the savories that were included were miniscule and much smaller than we had enjoyed in the past. The scones were delicious and appropriately sized, but the savory entrees would have had a greater impact if they were a little bigger. Also, the gelato was contained in a tiny 1-inch paper wrapper...what was the point of even serving it? We may return again some day, but we hope they improve their portion sizes in the near future so that they make the cost of the meal worthwhile.
