Rue Cler Restaurant Review

Just as at most of the bistros lining the famous Paris market street for which it is named, Rue Cler's crowds can get dense. But if you plan it right, you can drop in for dependable classics in an unchanging menu that includes salade niçoise, a buttery liver pâté, roast chicken, moules frites, and soupe à l’oignon gratinée, as well as a few seasonal specialties such as slow-roasted pork loin...

Very disappointing. I had heard such great things about this place. The food and service were both at best mediocre. We had to wait to be seated which was not a problem since we were early for our reserved time. However, when we were seated we were placed at a table that had been open all along. …

This is quickly becoming my favorite restaurant in Durham. I've been here 4 times since restaurant week--getting the tasting menu each time--and have yet to have something I don't like. It's gotten to the point where I trust them enough to try some of the stranger offerings that pop up on the menu (even …

Thanks to our extensive network of regional farmers and fishermen, and our close friends at wine importer Centerba Selections, we are able to offer a unique dining experience. Our food is inspired by French tradition and seasonal, local produce. The wines we serve are all made by vignerons who love food, and who craft their biodynamic wine to harmonize with it, while at the same time imparting...

A Parisian-style neighborhood restaurant in downtown Durham, NC.

Rue Cler is a Parisian style eatery and cafe that has served the downtown are of Durham since 2006. Customers here enjoy potato gnocchi gratin, spice rubbed boneless pork chop and steak frites.

News & Observer food critic Greg Cox says: Brought to us by the owners of the ever-popular Pop's, Rue Cler offers an authentic French bistro experience in downtown Durham. The seasonally changing menu is nearly a can't-miss proposition, but French onion soup, duck confit with spaetzle, steak frites, moules frites, coq au vin, and roast chicken are all winning options. Salads are superb, too,...
