Raleigh Restaurants Offer a Reprieve from the Heat

Sure, summer just officially started 10 days ago, but it’s okay to admit that you’ve already had enough of the extreme heat and Raleigh’s 100% humidity. Even the neck fan you’ve been wearing in your desperate attempt to stay cool can’t counteract the heat waves you produce when you realize that once again your family wants to eat something for dinner, and once again they’re hoping that you’re going to cook for everyone.

Whether you’re master of your domain in the kitchen or on the grill, it’s too hot to cook anything when even Apple Maps adds a heat advisory warning to every route from your house to the grocery store. If you just can’t summon the energy to cook dinner for your family tonight, we’ve got the perfect solution for you: Bring your family to Margaux’s, one of Raleigh’s best restaurants for groups, and treat your loved ones to a delicious meal made with local, seasonal produce and sustainable meat and seafood. You can relax, connect, and feed the whole family without turning on your neck fan.

Group dining made simple

The term “group dining” might bring back memories of the formal three-course meal you devoured at your best friend’s rehearsal dinner, but in reality, your family of four (or five… or six…) qualifies as a group as well. Of course, when you choose the right restaurant, your group size shouldn’t matter: Raleigh’s best restaurants for groups will make sure everything flows smoothly whether you’re dining with a group made up of four, 20, or 48 people.

Dine with your family as a group

Aside from the obvious benefit (that you don’t have to cook), group dining with your family is beneficial in other ways too:

• Fulfill everyone’s cravings—The most challenging part of cooking for any group, but especially for your family, is thinking of and then making one meal that satisfies everyone despite your loved ones’ various proclivities, aversions, and food allergies. Instead of spending hours in the kitchen, bring your family to Margaux’s, where Chef Pettifer and his team of chefs will whip up the perfect dish for each member of your family. When you bring the family to Margaux’s, you can relax and dine with confidence, because you know that everyone at your table will go home feeling nourished and satisfied.
• Inspire better conversations—If your kids and spouse can’t muster more than a one-syllable response to your questions during family meals at home, they might become downright chatty once you leave the comfort of home and join the dynamic, eclectic environment in the dining room of your favorite restaurant.
• Enhance your connection—When you dine at a restaurant with your family, you don’t have to compete with all the distractions that tend to arise at home, so you actually have a chance to connect with your loved ones. When your family dines as a group at Margaux’s, no one has to get up during the meal to turn off the oven, refill a drink, or grab a condiment from the fridge, so you’ll finally have the time and energy to talk about what’s going on in everyone’s lives.
