Alivia's Durham Bistro

Great food and great staff! we loved the scallops, karmailed mushrooms and spinat entree. will be coming back soon

One of our favorite places for brunch on our way to a 1:00 DPAC performance.

I went with a friend to participate in the Vegan Week menu. The service was courteous and attentive. The food, both our appetizer and the main course, was slow to arrive. We SO appreciate Alivia 's participation in Vegan Week and hope that they will continue the tradition, as well as add more options to their regular menu. My main complaint was the lack of warm dishes. In January, warm, comforting dishes would have been more fitting. The lasagna was a raw dish, more of a salad than an entree, and they ran out of the potatoes 'au gratin ', one of the few warm dishes on the menu. The charcuterie was mainly raw eggplant, perhaps it was intended to be marinated, but was not. The fingerling tacos were delicious, warm, hearty and flavorful. All in all, we had a pleasant evening and enjoyed the food.

We have been in alivias three times since the takeover of the chef brand mishalanie and eating is always excellent. it is wonderful that there is a restaurant in durham with several excellent vegetarian options! we have actually chosen! the soon-at-home makes it even more fun. the cheeseless mac and the cheese and the brussels sprouts were great!

Our dinner was wonderful - we didn't care about the steak, but that was a personal preference. our waiter was attentive and gave good suggestions, we loved his appetizer recommended for the brüssel sprouts appetizer.
