Tandem Carrboro

We had a delicious dinner at Tandem. We ordered several appetizers to share and loved each dish. The cauliflower, risotto and beet and Brussels salad were amazing. It is very vegetarian friendly. Appropriately expensive. Excellent service. A new local favorite.

My husband and I had a fabulous meal here with my sister-in-laws on Saturday night. The terraces are at a distance and well lit, with scattered plants of fragrant basil. The appetizers were all wonderful, especially the beet and cucumber salad, which was brownish and creamy and wonderfully mixed. They use fruit in many of the dishes to surprise and spectacular effect. The ducks are all huge parts, in the best way. I had the chicken, my MIL the lamb, and my husband and FIL the 72 hours short ribs. Service was fantastic. Incredibly recommended.

Visited this Tandem restaurant with relatives to pack our North Carolina, USA trip. Atmosphere, servers were great. Food served in hot, which is very important. We ordered the 72-hour short ribs and the Curry salmon. The short ribs were nicely cooked, but too salty. The currylachs tasted better than the short rib. Portion size was big, and we were all full. Total 4 stars!!!

Fantastic food and vibe! Had the Butternut Squash Risotto, Joyce Farm Chicken, Roasted Salmon and Japanese Aubergine, all delicious.

Can’t believe after all these years I haven’t reviewed Tandem. Year after year their food service is wonderful. Even now in 2021 they manage to provide delicious meals and staff is attentive. Tandem is always a solid choice for dining out.
