Best Mediterranean Restaurants in Durham

We came to Collingwood to celebrate our recent wedding, and the Tremont was the first dinner of our trip. The service was absolutely impeccable. The maître’d was so genuinely friendly and personable to the point where as we were leaving, he made a point to dash out of the restaurant to shake our hands and say goodbye/congratulations. Our server was so sweet and lovely, and made sure we were well taken care of - always checking on drinks, wine and food but never once feeling overbearing. They were incredibly diligent with dealing with my food allergies, and made a point to reassure that all dishes served to me would be allergen-free. We were treated to some complimentary cava as a toast to our wedding before ordering our meal. We had the falafel and pork belly for appetizers, and steak frites (ribeye) and chicken supreme for mains. The food was incredible - beautifully plated and, most importantly, absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend everything we ordered, especially the pork belly. Also, my ribeye was perfectly cooked. Perfect medium-rare, great crust on both sides, fat perfectly rendered and wonderfully seasoned. Atmosphere was lovely - all the marks of a fine-dining restaurant without any pretension or obnoxiousness. We were so thrilled with our experience here and would absolutely come back without even thinking the next time we’re in Collingwood.

Everything was top-notch! Definitely a “do again”. Good value for delicious food, with excellent service! The kitchen team also accommodated food allergies with some tasty alternatives and that was above and beyond - very nice touch.

The owner and his staff were perfect and the Surf n Turf presentation as well as the preparation of superior quality. I would recommend Barcelos in Wasaga to anyone who asked.
