The Cuisine
A tribute to two distinct culinary traditions, the menu at Luna captures the unique and varied cuisines of South America, yet respects its roots in the American South. Whenever possible, we use local ingredients, sustainably sourced from small producers near our location in downtown Durham. Luna has a full bar and serves South American inspired cocktails, wines, and North Carolina craft beers. We also have an extensive list of non-alcoholic beverages, including house-made aguas frescas and traditional South American herbal teas.
