French cuisine can be hard to get right, but Rue Cler executes to perfection. From the first dish all the way through every entree, the kitchen is able to season and cook their magnificent and authentic creations to perfection. The escargot were a surefire highlight, and nothing disappointed. If you love french cuisine and are in Durham, come here. -

Rue cler was a wonderful flavor trip beautiful to celebrate the special occasions or just enjoy great food daily if you have the funds .
We did a mix of the prefix menu and steak frit
The ingredients at the base had such a nice flavor, the potatoes you can tell were treated nicely.

The drinks offered were great, we loved our cocktail and wine
Service was wonderful, reservations are recommended
As an fyi the bench can be a little uncomfortable even with the cushion,if you are sensitive,consider a chair. -
Really comfortable French restaurant. Our waiter was incredibly helpful and attentive - service was top notch. The staff acknowledged and honored that we had plans for a show afterwards. The food was very good - we had the French onion soup, salad nicotine, and beignets for dessert. While it was delicious, it was not exceptional.
I would still return, perhaps try a different dish... -
Best dinner I’ve had in a very long time. Lamb Shank 10/10
