Luques Restaurant and Bar at the Chancellor Hotel

We were wandering Union Square looking for a breakfast place without a long wait, & found this gem.

My wife and me ate here breakfast. The service was friendly and fast. The food was ok. Thanks.

Description: We just happened upon Luques Bar and Restaurant when looking for a special place to have breakfast on Powell Street.

After my son graduated, we had dinner for 13 people. Cassie put us in the private dining room because it was too hot to be on the patio. The food and service were excellent. It was a wonderful cap for the day's events!

We have been twice in the last 2 weeks ... which describes how much we love Metro 8. The porcini mushroom noodles are my favorite along with steak and tuna. The vegetables are always so fresh and perfectly prepared. The salads are crispy and dressed properly, and the wine list is huge and tasty. Perfect for dates, girls' nights or special occasions. Correctly priced for the top quality food you get. Better steaks than Angus Barn, better pasta than Maggianos, and much cheaper. The terrace is our favorite dining space, but the tables inside are super romantic. We will no doubt be back soon. Great service, fantastic atmosphere, top bar and wine list and local food to celebrate small businesses ... all my favorite things! Parking is so much easier than downtown Durham and we love the taste of 9th Street. The desserts are fantastic and the coffee is delicious.
