⭐️Just Announced ⭐️ Chef Robin Clt Secures Exclusive U.S. Access to Daimon 55 Junmai Ginjo Sake for Omakase Experience By Prime Fish Prime Fish Cellar & Prime Fish ✨

At PrimeFish restaurants, sake is a cornerstone of the dining & pairing experience, not an afterthought or a trend — with a program of over 100 sakes across the three restaurant properties.

“Similar to sourcing seafood exclusively from Tokyo’s Toyosu market, and recently becoming the only Japanese Kobe Beef certified restaurant in the Carolinas, we want to be a leader in sake, and offer guests an opportunity to enjoy a sake that is typically only available in Japan,” explained chef, owner and sake expert, Robin Anthony.

At PrimeFish, he is joined by two sommeliers with advanced sake training as well — Terrell Johnson at Omakase Experience by PrimeFish and Derek Leclair at PrimeFish Cellar – making PrimeFish home to three dedicated sake specialists, a concentration of expertise that is rare at any restaurant in the country, let alone in the American South.

Daimon 55 is available in limited quantities. At Omakase, it will be woven into tasting menus as a course-by-course pairing. At PrimeFish Cellar next door — a sushi and sake bar and specialty bottle shop that opened in 2025 — it will be available by the pour and in curated flights for guests who want to explore it at their own pace. At Anthony’s PrimeFish location in Ballantyne, this rare sake will be available by the bottle.

🎉Just Announced🎉 Café Royale to Open in September 👉🏻 Patrick Shanahan — the designer-owner behind Raleigh’s most obsessed-over rooms – Peregrine, Capulet Cocktail Club & Rosebud Cocktail Lounge — is bringing a third act to The Exchange Raleigh this September.

👉🏻He is joined by his team behind the buzzy Capulet and Rosebud – Robby Opperman and Frederique Leonard – to introduce another beverage-forward destination to Raleigh’s Midtown.

👉🏻Café Royale, which is adjacent to Peregrine, and shares a courtyard with Capulet, will open in September.

“The name Café Royale is the whole concept in two words — a humble café colliding with the opulence of Royale. Step inside and you’ll find vibrant color, elaborate wallpaper, white marble statues, and china on the walls that’s too fun to eat off. But the food stays grounded: French-inspired, simple, healthy, hearty — the kind of fare you’d stumble into at any neighborhood café in Europe. That tension between grandeur and comfort is exactly the point.” – Patrick Shanahan

👉🏻Consider it Raleigh’s love letter to the all-day Parisian café — built for lingering. From espresso pulled with ceremony and Afternoon Tea that refuses to be rushed, to bubbles and fromage that arrive exactly when you didn’t know you needed them and dessert cocktails to cap the night.

👉🏻As sister destination to Peregrine and Capulet, Café Royale completes this destination, enabling guests to drift between day into night.

A bientôt 😘

From Ricky Moore’s easy skillet shrimp to Nicole Cabrera’s baked oysters with kimchi butter. We also take you inside three next-level seafood markets where the fishmongers are ready to share their tips and tricks with anyone who walks through the door.

🇵🇷 The secret’s out! Southern Living discovered the backyard destination for Pitmaster Christopher Prieto’s Puerto Rican cuisine 🇵🇷

“Anyone who knows anything about barbecue is aware of Christopher Prieto and his relentlessly popular North Carolina restaurant, Prime Barbecue… Yet few realize that Prieto operates a trailer out back, using some of the same smoked meats that made him famous but paying homage to his Puerto Rican heritage.“ ~ Eric Ginsburg
