Bleu Olive

We were in from out of town and called last minute for a reservation which they accomdated. First time to the restaurant. We ordered 3 apps to start: dolmas, spicy mussels, and grilled octopus. They were all very well prepared, tasty with sauces, with a nice presentation. Main courses were again diverse but all perfectly prepared. My meal was a lamb loin seasoned with a coffee and pepper over the best tasting mushroom orzo...fantatic. others at the table had paella (a little heavy on the red peppers) which was aromatic and tasty. Chicken looked great for our gluten free participant pared with a risotto. I am looking forward to visiting again. A few entrees caught my eye

We were visiting Durham and chose Bleu Olive simply because it was nearby. I'm so glad we did! The food was colorful, flavorful, beautifully plated, and really tasty. Our table of two shared beet salad, lamb kefte, paella, and a chocolate tart. The best part? I'm gluten free and could eat it all! They even had 4 GF desserts. If I lived in Durham, I'd be here regularly.
