Two Raleigh restaurateurs have teamed up to open The Exchange’s flagship restaurant, Peregrine.
- Chef Saif Rahman of the Raleigh restaurant Vidrio and artist Patrick Shanahan, who also co-owns downtown Raleigh bar Watts & Ward, are partnering to bring the restaurant to the massive Midtown development just east of North Hills.
- The pair aims to combine cultural influences from South Asia and North Carolina and touchstones from the Mexican heritage of Rahman’s wife for a menu that will feature dishes like Bengali fish curry and crispy lentil fritters.
