Savorez
Savorez is located on the corner of 4th and Chestnut St. in downtown Wilmington. Do not be deceived by the small stature of the modest brick building, inside we are booming with big bold flavors and a benevolent staff excited to indulge your dining!
The name says it all! Savorez is our evolution of the Spanish word Sabores, meaning flavors. Sabores…Savor…Savorez! Here we are inspired by the vibrant flavors and colorful cuisine of Latin cultures. While sourcing locally and staying true to his North Carolinian roots, Chef Sam Cahoon has successfully honed his own style of cooking. His beautifully crafted cuisine is his southern take and tribute to Latin flavors.

Caprice Bistro
Chef Thierry Moity is originally from the town of Nantua in Central France, and had been apprenticing and cooking in kitchens since he was thirteen. Patricia his wife, is from French Flanders near Belgium, and had a background working in hospitality and resorts. They met in Cannes in 1975, and two years later, young and adventurous, traveled to America with the intention of moving to California and then Australia. But New York City caught them, and in 1987 they opened up their first restaurant there, the Cafe de Bruxelles. Eighteen years later, like so many other New Yorkers, they finally felt a need to slow down, and North Carolina called to them. First they moved to Charlotte, opening up Patou Bistro in 1995. Then in 2001, to the chagrin of their devoted Charlotte following, they came to Wilmington and opened Caprice Bistro. The couple will celebrate their 40th marriage anniversary this year, and it’s a storybook partnership. He runs the back of the house, and she runs the front.
“This one, he doesn’t like to come out, he likes to be in the kitchen,” Patricia Moity says, smiling at her husband.
“It’s better,” he responds, “we complete each other. We’re not here to compete, we’re here to complete.”

Indochine
Remembering my first days in Wilmington, NC, I smile. The year was 1975, and the closest thing to an Asian grocery store was the La Choy section of the Carolina A&P grocery store. To ease my homesick heart, my husband would drive me to Washington, DC, to stock up on Asian food from the Vietnamese grocers there. How I would delight in the diverse Thai and Vietnamese dishes from the restaurants we would visit. In those days, the “Asian cuisine” available locally usually consisted of little more than Chinese Chop Suey or Chow Mein dishes served in most dining places. It was in the lack of Asian cuisine culture that I began my passage into marriage, motherhood and professional life. But times and tastes were changing and with time came the wave of Chinese buffets.
As I grew, so did my desire to embrace and celebrate the rich experience of Asian cultures and cuisines, and share that with my family and friends. I realized that Vietnamese and Thai cuisine were at a global crossroads, a reflection and a blending of more than a hundred cultures. I wanted to bring these crossroads of cuisine to Wilmington. Indochine was the result of that desire to share this culture of food and art, which I took for granted as a child, but have come to appreciate so deeply in my new country. Many people have welcomed Indochine and shared my vision and love for the exotic tastes and experience we offer, and I am so grateful to them all. Thank you for your continued patronage over the years.
