Two Raleigh restaurants among nation’s best

Triangle diners don’t have to go far to experience the best cuisine in the United States.

Bida Manda Restaurant and Bar and Saint Jacques French Cuisine, both in Raleigh, earned spots on OpenTable’s 100 Best Restaurants in America for 2017 list. This annual list combines the opinions of more than 12 million restaurant reviews submitted by diners at more than 26,000 restaurants in all 50 states and Washington, DC.

“While the winning restaurants this year are each distinctive, they all consistently deliver exceptional dishes, impeccable hospitality, and a meal to remember,” said Caroline Potter, OpenTable chief dining officer.
