Nikos

Greek

Nikos, named for the owner's father, is set within a restored red-brick tobacco storage warehouse dating to the early 1900s. The interior plays up that rustic industrial heritage and blends it with a simple sophistication, sharing a modern tavern appeal. As for the food, expect all of the Greek and Mediterranean classics, including spanakopita and octopus carpaccio to begin. Come with family or friends to tuck into the meze grand platter, add a glass of crisp Greek wine and you might just be convinced you're basking in the sun on a Greek island. Meanwhile, baklava and honey semolina cake round

Little Bull

Fusion

$$$

Blending his experience cooking across America with his Mexican heritage, Chef Oscar Diaz has created his own style of cooking. His time on the West Coast is evident and best seen in the vibrant and fresh small and larger plates designed for sharing. Judicious spicing and an array of textures add to the allure of these dishes, and house recommendations include the al pastor skewer and the tom kha ceviche. Really hungry? Tuck into the half chicken with pita for a satisfying meal. It's all better paired with one of their very cold beers or a house cocktail.

Seraphine

Southern

Seraphine is nestled in a quiet corner of the restored American Tobacco works. While the large terrace is ideal during the warmer months, the interior's moody, sultry ambience is especially intriguing. It's the kind of place where you'll want to sip one of their classic or creative cocktails at the marble-topped bar before dinner. The menu is equally inspired by its location with Southern classics like fried shrimp and broiled oysters vying for attention alongside gumbo and fried catfish. Be sure to save room for the beignets for a traditional treat.

Nanas

Contemporary

$$$

Nanas has been a fixture on the Durham dining scene since 1992, though new owners put their own stamp on it while respecting its history. Friendly and warm, the place has a smart retro look.This is the sort of place where there's something for everyone and you'll have a hard time deciding which dish to order. Italian and French classics with local products take center stage, while some old favorites like North Carolina shrimp remoulade remain as an homage to the original. Pasta dishes are especially popular, and some of the larger plates utilize the wood grill, but don't sleep on the dreamy ch
