Whole food, mostly raw, vegan fare. Us non-vegans love the food here so that says a lot! They make all their own nut-milks for the smoothies (which is worth it on its own). Worth a visit. It is on the pricey side.

Mostly drive-through breakfast/brunch. The line can often extend out to the street but it moves fast and worth it for the biscuit sandwiches!

A great burger spot. Seating is limited but more offered outside. Parking is better at this Southern Village location than downtown. Plus from here you can walk and get some gelato :) .

Yes going into downtown Durham is worth it for this whole-in-the-wall restaurant. Seating is limited so make sure to get a reservation! It has the best chicken and waffles in the area and if this is a new food combination for you, the is the place to try this great southern dish!

Great and sometimes unusual tapas (such as bone marrow) grace the menu here. One of my all time favorite restaurants in the area for high quality food. Better for date night than with families. Bar seating is available.

There is a Saltbox closer that just opened. Putting this here as a placeholder. Lines can get very long at lunch so go early or later if you don't want to wait an hour (but great food worth the wait). Fresh seafood from the coast with 5-6 offerings per day. As the day goes on they will cross items off the list as they run out. Hush honeys (hush puppies with honey) are worth trying!

Essentials

Besides the great line of fresh produce, meats and other (pricier) products - you can find a very large section dedicated to hot bars, sushi bar, ramen bar, taco bar, pizza bar, etc. It is small for a Whole Foods but it has some great options for a traveler.
