My favorite restaurants
My oh my, where to start?! There is so much to see and experience in Asheville. There’s no way to cover it all so here are some of our personal favorites.
Expect a long line. Biscuit Head is popular not just because they offer biscuits the size of cat heads but the variety is outstanding. The Fried Green Tomato Biscuit and Mimosa Fried Chicken Biscuit are both gorgeous and delicious!

Great spot. Right in downtown Asheville. Unassuming, you might walk right past the restaurant and not even notice it because it blends right into the scenery. But wow. Delicious food, friendly service, lots of farm to table choices. They also offer some yummy vegan options. There's usually a wait but they'll text you they're ready and you can do some window shopping while you wait.

We love, love, love Nine Mile. They opened a second location in West Asheville, but we tend to go to the location in historic neighborhood of Montford which is where we first discovered this gem. The Caribbean spices are at the core of all their dishes but every entrée is unique in it's own right. The ginger agave beer is a must have.

This is THE spot. It’s a rooftop bar & restaurant located at the Cambria Hotel downtown. It’s laid back, sophisticated, casual and sexy all at the same time. They have authentic Cuban dishes and a tasty selection of Mojitos. We love it!

An absolute must! Do not miss out on this top-notch culinary experience. The ingredients are locally sourced and the menu changes from season to season. The deviled eggs are unlike any I’ve ever had; the scallop & pork belly entrée is an absolute fave. Reservations are highly recommended.

If you’ve never tried Bibimbap, stop what you’re doing and go get yourself a bowl; fresh grains, vegetables, meat and a fried egg mixed together into a combo that will make your taste buds sing an aria. They serve a wide range of other foods including great salads and wraps.

This place is so appealing to all the senses has a speakeasy feel. The turn of the century architecture and interiors are gorgeous and the drinks are delicious. They specialize in Gin but offer a very wide range of liquors and craft beers. See if you can find the secret doorway to the rooftop bar.

Great location alongside the French Broad River. They have an enormous range of craft beers. You can chill on the grassy knolls, inside the brewery where they have live story telling, music and trivia games, or sit out back and watch the tubers float by. They also offer tours.
