Durham’s Little Dipper

Located on Main Street of Durham, the Little Dipper shares three-course meals with any fondue newcomer or aficionado in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere you’re sure to enjoy. Get out on the town and away from all those chain restaurants. At the Little Dipper, you’ll be cooking your own food right at the table on built-in burners. If you’ve never been “fondue-ing,” then expect a pretty lengthy meal (probably about two hours or more) so settle in and enjoy! Each table has a shared pot to cook in which requires both partakers to agree on a common style. Mull it over beforehand, taking into consideration the vegetable broth, Asian firepot with sake, peanut oil, or white merlot. Choose your meats, vegetables, and seafood as well as the Little Dipper’s signature 17 different dipping sauces.

Chow down on the cheese appetizers for you and that special someone to share before choosing from a variety of entrees and a second-course salad. Pay attention to specials during the week; Wednesdays offer a special for women for cheese and chocolate so take some time to show her how special she is. Browse the special menu which includes options for each course using locally sourced ingredients from local farmers. The Little Dipper also has an extensive wine list and selection of crafts beers and Durham cocktails. Find out why The Little Dipper was named one of America’s best restaurants and a winner of the Open Table Diners’ Choice award.

For most, it’s the warm and energetic atmosphere that provides an intimate setting for you to slow down and enjoy some quality time and conversation with the one you’re with. The servers are known for their friendliness and ability to guide you throughout your lunchtime visit or evening date, sometimes becoming the best part of the experience!

The Little Dipper is open at 5PM Tuesday to Sunday and Sunday brunch from 11:30AM-2:30PM, closed Mondays. Visit the website for more information, specials, and a menu.
