Triangle Restaurant News: New barcadium opens in downtown Raleigh

RALEIGH, N.C. — There are a lot of opening this week, but we start with one big closure. 

Ed Mitchell's Que has closed in the American Tobacco Campus in Durham. Mitchell is looking to reopen in a larger space that will provide "adequate catering and private dining," he told the News and Observer. Mitchell said the ATC space only allowed him to cook one-whole hog at a time, which was not enough to meet demands. He also noted the lack of private dining space for corporate events. 

Level-Up Kitchen and Barcadium has opened for business at 126 S. Salisbury St. It is open daily from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Blue Coffee Cafe opened this week in its new location in the North Mutual Insurance building at 411 W. Chapel Hill St. in Durham. It was previously located on Corcoran Street.

Burger Bach, a New Zealand-inspired gastro-pub and burger restaurant, will open on March 9 on Ninth Street in Durham.
