Excellent and helpful staff. Cocktails were amazing and wine recommendations appreciated. All dishes were first rate. Wish we had come long ago. Look forward to coming back!

Rue Cler continues to deliver exquisite meals and maintain an impressive wine menu year after year. It's a treat to return to a restaurant after two years and experience the same high quality service. Trent took very good care of us. I look forward to the next visit.

This is the best French food in Durham and Chapel Hill.
The staff are fantastic and able to guide you through the menu and specials with expert analysis and advice. The bar tender was fantastic. It is a special place for great food, drinks and atmosphere. I loved the prix fixe menu and options.

Best food , worst service! Our server was uninformed , loud, rude and made our experience awful! We will never go back which is sad since we love this place and the food is incredible

Fantastic food, location, and service. More on the medium-high end cost wise, but worth every penny. We got the Savory Beignets, Marinated Beet Salad, Ratatouille, Duck Breast, and the Paris - Brest featured dessert. They have a decent wine menu and great cocktails. The chef seated us and walked us through the menu and the rest of the staff was very kind and helpful. You get a ton of food with the Prix Fixe menu which can easily be split between two people. You can spend $50-$100 per person depending on how much stuff you want to get as well as cocktails and wine. Figulina is my number #1 in Raleigh and I have not yet had a #1 in Durham but I think Rue Cler definitely deserves that spot now.

The lamb and gratin potatoes are a religious experience. Service was phenomenal as well. Will definitely be back. Reviews don’t do this place justice.

Delicious food and great service. Nice spot for a date night. They have a prix fixe menu and other specials, and you can switch out items to make your own custom prix fixe, or even order the prix fixe items a la carte so you aren’t locked into one menu or the other. Everything we had was delicious and cooked perfectly. Great drink selection as well.
