Couple Money budget blog mentioned spending a significant portion of their disposable income on eating out. We do too -- we also spend quite a bit on exotic ingredients for me to cook. Anyway, Couple Money lists their favorite places to eat in Raleigh:
Tangerine Cafe (Fresh, tasty food at low prices -- Have you been here, Couple Money?)
The Duck and Dumpling
Boudreaux's Louisiana Kitchen and Taqueria Guadalajara in Charlotte, NC
and drive-through Jitters for coffee, now that the Chocolate Bean is no more.

It’s hard to pick all the places we enjoyed, but I figured if anyone is in Raleigh, they should definitely check out these places.Mmm.... We're fond of Los Tres Magueyes and Asuka too. We're still working out what our very favorite food spots are, but some of the top contenders are:
- Vic’s: Tons of wonderfully delicious Italian food at great prices. I love, love, LOVE their pizzas. My hardest decision with this place is choosing what to eat. This is the spot we go to when there are free concerts in the area.
- 518 West: We’ve taken family and friends here for anniversary dinners (upstairs is a bit more private). They have great dishes (the crab is fantastic) and a nice drink menu.
- Los Tres Magueyes: Our Mexican lunch spot- it’s quick and it’s delicious. We get our Speedy and chimichanga combos and we’re happy.
- Jibarra: It’s not a typical Mexican restaurant, which I like. It’s more urban in style and the dishes are fantastic. It’s hard to describe the flavor of the food beside saying it’s spicy and incredible.
- Sawasdee: Several friends had mentioned to us that this is the place to go for some good Thai food. They have two locations now in Raleigh, which makes it more convenient (and tempting).
- Mura: If you’re looking for great sushi and a wonderful atmosphere, Mura is the spot. We’ve gone there and had great service and a wonderful time. If you’re in the area, on Sundays they have the buy one sushi roll, get one roll 1/2 special that we take advantage of. We also grab a glass of house wine for 1/2 off too. My personal favorites are the Screaming O, Surf & Turf, and Piano roll.
- Asuka: This Japanese restaurant is a favorite lunch date spot and they have a great buy one, get one roll free special (including dinners). It’s a bit out, but it’s definitely worth the drive.
