Virgin Atlantic features Gaurav Patel's favorite spots to dine

"When I’m in Durham at the end of the day, I usually end up at Bar Virgile . It’s cozy in there, it has that I-know-a-secret feel, and I’m always amazed at what comes out of that tiny kitchen. The charcuterie is outstanding and their bourbon list is a fun one.”

 

"If it’s lunchtime, G heads to Pizzeria Toro where he’ll indulge in one of their specialty pizza pies and a glass of wine. This is no pepperoni-and-cheese pizza place; it’s a spot where you’ll find a spicy lamb meatball, venison sausage, locally grown squash and mushrooms, and imported Italian cheese on a pie. “It’s a pizza, but it’s unexpected and executed perfectly.”

NC Triangle Dining Features Bar Virgile

"You'll find Bar Virgile to be a comforting watering hole.  Polished dark wood bar with a tall wall of bottles behind it, Bar Virgile also has a small dining room for a short menu of appetizers, charcuterie, and sandwiches, cool!  The tight kitchen is in the corner next to the bar and you can watch all the action unfold from the end seats. And don't miss the cool stamped metal ceiling in the bar area, very cool."
