    Best French restaurant

    The hidden gems. This is the best French restaurant around for many miles. If you oass by Durham, stop here. Unexpected.

    Every time I make a trip to Durham, I make sure to eat dinner at Vin Rouge. This dinner visit was different than times in the past. It was very loud. Each of us ordered steak. To our disappointment all three of us received it...More

    Fantastic food!

    Food was best I've had in a long while and my girlfriend agreed. Incredibly tasty omelette, french fries and salad with it seemed to fit the restaurant. Service okay, room was a little old and a bit cramped, but food was worth it.

    Converted garage on the outside; Rive Gauche on the inside!

    Based on reviews, I expected "quite good". But the food was truly excellent; If I were served French favorites of this quality in Paris, I would be entirely satisfied. And the prices are quite moderate for the quality. We aren't the first to discover Vin...More

    Our food was very good; however, the ventilation is awful. We could not stay for dessert because our eyes were burning from the cooking smoke on a busy Saturday night. Of the clothes we wore, we had to wash all we could and dry clean...More

    Not pretentious, Great dining experience!

    Not an outstanding option!

    The restaurant offers a good option to have an average quality experience of French cuisine but stays short when exhibiting the flavors of French cuisine.

    Expensive and Unexciting

    Although very highly rated, I found Vin Rouge disappointing. We were a large party, and the food was uneven. Some dishes were very good, others just mundane. The restaurant was very busy, but that does not forgive the apparent lack of quality control.The waitress was...More

    I am not competent. The restaurant's manager is the only person able and supposed to answer your question. I suggest starting your inquiry on Vin Rouge Website. I am sure a gluten free dinner can easily be accommodated... More
