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.

Amazing meal. Absolutely delicious! Our server was so helpful explaining menu items and suggesting wines to paircwith our selections. Very competent. A wonderful dining experience.

The food and wine were excellent. The only thing that was a little disappointing was how crispy the bread was on the cheese platter. The bead was a bit too thick to be cracker like and too crispy to be enjoyable as bread.

Lovely small vibes upscale French restaurant. Perfect for a nice dinner date night, however, does cater to large groups too (reserve ahead of time). Loved each dish, everything was well presented and our server was incredibly knowledgeable about food and wine pairings.
They did an incredible job serving and waiting a large group of 15-20 people and was thoroughly impressed at timings of every dish. With a group our size, it took all in around 2-2.5 hours of dining.
The cocktails were good, ordered a boulevardier, but were nothing special. Typical house liquors. Like the lighting arrangements here. -
It's been a while since I said, this place is going to be a regular.
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.
