Restaurant and gourmet market

On the Outer Banks, TRiO Restaurant & Market brings together an energetic dining experience and a gourmet retail shop in an upscale-casual setting. Guests can enjoy food, wine, beer, and cheese at the venue or take their selections home.

The market carries carefully chosen gourmet foods, wines sourced locally and internationally, almost every style of craft beer, and artisanal cheeses hand-cut to order. In the restaurant, casual dishes with local and global inspiration are served for lunch, dinner, and late night. The menu includes salads, Panini, cheese boards, small plates, and mains prepared with fresh regional ingredients.

The beach’s largest selection of rotating craft brews is available at TRiO’s copper-top bar. Wine offerings include nearly 30 wines by the glass, an extensive bottle list, and twenty-four bottles available through self-service tasting machines. These machines let guests sample wines priced from $10 to $100 per bottle for as little as $1 per taste.

Upstairs, the mezzanine provides relaxed lounge seating and a tasting bar. It hosts weekly wine, beer, and cheese tastings, as well as private events. Several nights each week, TRiO presents live music by local artists performing styles ranging from jazz and bluegrass to rock.

Champagne brunch

Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am – 3 pm, TRiO serves brunch favorites alongside the full regular menu. A dedicated bubbly menu features Mimosas and sparkling wines from around the world, offered by the glass and bottle.

Guided wine tastings

Guided wine tastings take place at the mezzanine bar on Thursday and Saturday evenings at 6:30 p.m. These educational tastings feature seven wines and explore different wine styles and regions. Artisan cheeses and cured meats accompany the wines.

Space is limited, and advance registration is required. Reservations can be made by calling 252.261.0277.
