You name a cuisine, Asheville has it. The food scene in Asheville is plentiful. When visiting Asheville, please refer to both this post and the travel guide. I wrote a lot about the breweries with great food in the travel guide post.
Brunch & Lunch
Forestry Camp – Has become one of my favorite spots in Asheville over the past few months. It is truly a hidden gem. They are a branch of Burial Brewing (located downtown). The menu is ever changing and they locally source their ingredients.
Sunny Point – Amazing brunch spot! I had avoided going here because of the long waits. I thought “There is no way that place is worth it”. I was wrong. It is! They serve Southern comfort food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Holes – This cute little spot has the best donuts I have ever had. Every single one is made to order right in front of you! They have vanilla glaze, toasted almond sesame cinnamon, cinnamon sugar and a seasonal flavor that rotates weekly.
Dinner
Nine Mile – Carribean inspired restaurant. This is actually one of my favorite restaurants I have ever been to. This says a lot! Every single dish is packed with flavor and served with a side salad and delicious “natty bread”. There are three separate locations. I would recommend the West Asheville location as the South Asheville one does not serve their cocktail menu. The Soul Rebel and Kingston 12 are my favorite dishes.
Curate – Spanish tapas restaurant and very well-known is Asheville. If you know you want to eat here before your trip, I highly recommend making a reservation. Fun atmosphere and delicious dishes.
Pack’s Tavern – This is a classic American pub known for its family atmosphere. Great food and awesome drink specials. Orange crushes are $5 on Fridays! The perfect summer drink.
Rooftops
The Montford – Fun rooftop bar with highland views and seasonal cocktails. Perfect place to watch the sunset and enjoy the holiday decorations. I have yet to eat there but their brunch menu looks delish.
Capella on 9 – Beautiful rooftop on top of the AC Hotel. Great food, tapas inspired plats and an Asheville view.
