- CCarlaSouth Carolina •10 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 18, 2024Celebrated our anniversary at Little Bull. The food was amazing, portions are not large for small plates, so I recommend 2 to 3 per person. Delicious options, the scallop crudo and tuna rolls were favorites. Save room for the donuts…..a perfect dessert. Cannot wait to visit again.More infoLittle BullPrice: Very Expensive• Fusion / Eclectic• Durham•4.8
- JJayneVIPVirginia •20 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 10, 2024This cafe is a great little find at the Nasher. Been here a handful of times for lunch. It’s always busy, well executed inventive menu. Had the Vanilla matcha tea with Oat milk- very good. Panini with turkey,cucumbers, carmélized onions and quinoa salad was a great choice. My friend had the goat cheese BLT minus the tomato along with an aioli sauce; basil pesto pasta salad. She said it was very good. I would definitely return for an evening meal with wine. The museum cafe is worthwhile to visit. Even on a weekend while visiting.More infoNasher Cafe at Duke UniversityPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Durham•4.7
