Mala Pata

Mexican · Bib

Mala Pata brings a taste of Mexico to Gateway Plaza. This upbeat spot has a lively vibe that spills over to the cocktail bar next door. Plan to start or end your evening with a mezcal mule or pisco sour.As for the food, Mala Pata takes ingredients quite seriously, importing corn from Oaxaca and grinding it in house to make their own tortillas, tostadas and chips. Sip a cocktail and order one of the botanas (snacks) like guacamole or Colombian bunuelos. Of course, tacos are a must and include fish and meat varieties. Whole market fish and beef to share are also available.

Tamasha

Indian

$$$

Tamasha in Hindi translates as "grand performance," and this North Hills restaurant certainly makes a visit here feel like a special occasion. Rather like the striking modern interior, the cooking is contemporary with subtle creativity and vibrancy. The kitchen takes high-quality, local ingredients and turns them into dishes made with traditional Indian techniques and flavors. Some dishes lean classic, others share a fusion influence, as in the Kerala pork belly bao. There is plenty to like in dishes like steamed yellowtail snapper in a coconut curry. For dessert, North meets South honors the

Sam Jones BBQ

Barbecue · Bib

It's all in the family at Sam Jones BBQ, where three generations of the same family have been perfecting their 'cue. This spot in downtown Raleigh (and another in Winterville) specializes in cooking Eastern North Carolina-style barbecue pork. They've been doing it their way, slow cooking the whole pig over burning embers, then chopping it all up and serving it with a vinegar-based sauce to cut through the richness of the meat, for years. Order a meat combo, which comes with sides and a sweet potato muffin or corn bread, and chase it with one of their beers on tap, brewed by the family in Winte

Brodeto

Italian

$$$

Brodeto occupies the ground floor of the former Raleigh Iron Works (RIW), now home to a hub of eateries, retail outlets and offices. The name, a nod to a fish stew found along the Adriatic coast, is the first hint that this restaurant takes its inspiration from the cuisines of Italy and Croatia. From crudo and must-have pasta dishes to wood-fired fish and meat to peka, a Croatian slow-cooked, fire-grilled dish with octopus and potatoes, and of course, the namesake brodeto, this menu is packed with appealing choices. You won't go wrong with any of the selections, but be sure to consult the wine

Stanbury

american

$$$

Tucked away in the sleepy Mordecai neighborhood in a former grocery store, Stanbury is a favorite with the locals. They don't take reservations, so you'll need to arrive early when they open around 4:30 pm or wait with a drink in hand on their decked terrace. The menu is as eclectic as the place itself (think hunting lodge with taxidermy). You'll find everything from European to Mexican dishes on this menu, including a roasted marrow with parsley and capers that feels straight out of London. While the menu leans international, North Carolina seasonal produce is always the centerpiece. You'll w

Jolie

french

$$$

Sitting right next door to one of his other restaurants, Crawford and Son, Chef Scott Crawford has created his version of a classic French bistro in Historic Oakwood at Jolie. Inspired by family trips to Paris and named after his daughter, the menu blends French classics with more modern interpretations, marrying punchy flavors with clear respect for traditional techniques. Steak tartare and French onion soup are two signatures not to be skipped, as is the delicious rum-soaked baba. The wine list is strictly French; stop by and get a glass of bubbles from their champagne window out front or si

Crawford and Son

american

$$$

Owner Scott Crawford lends his name to this restaurant in Raleigh's beautiful, historic Oakwood neighborhood. This classic American place emanates an upscale, neighborhood feel, where a long bar counter dominates one side, and a banquette set with black marble-topped tables runs along the other.This is a kitchen that keeps things short and seasonal, though each dish sounds more enticing than the next. Manchego herb biscuits, served fresh from the oven, are a house specialty. Quality ingredients are left to shine in appetizers like smoked trout rillettes with grilled milk bread and main dishes

St. Roch Fine Oysters + Bar

Seafood

$$$

Set in a former clothing store in downtown Raleigh, this oyster bar and bistro retains some of its original features while sharing a new spirit. Chef/owner Sunny Gerhart's Louisiana roots inspire and inform the menu where, as should be expected, oysters play a big role. Find the resident shucker behind the counter prying open the daily selection from North Carolina and beyond. Not a fan of raw oysters? They're available fried, too, so be sure to start with a selection of these briny jewels. It's all about seafood here, where a Carolina calabash keeps things local, and their barbecue shrimp and
