The secret ingredient EATS & DRINKS asheville -

With regular mentions in national publications including The New York Times, Bon Appetit, Food & Wine and Southern Living, there’s no doubt that Asheville’s culinary scene tops many a food-obsessed traveler’s bucket list. Why does this city with a population of just over 90,000 people garner nonstop national buzz alongside much larger destinations?

Some might tell you it’s Western North Carolina’s rich community of small farms, foragers and food artisans. Others would point to the area’s wealth of highly skilled and talented chefs, independent restaurateurs, brewers, vintners and distillers whose supportive, collaborative relationships ultimately raise the bar for what’s possible.

But the secret ingredient is really Asheville itself. The city’s magical mountain allure attracts innovators and nourishes invention, creating the ideal complement for the locale’s inherent Appalachian flavors and laid-back Southern charm.

Use this guide to chart your course for exploring Asheville’s unforgettable spread of edible and drinkable offerings. The biggest challenge will be deciding where to eat. Bon appétit!

AL FRESCO FINDS

ENJOY ASHEVILLE’S GREAT OUTDOORS ONE BITE OR SIP AT A TIME

BY GINA SMITH

Of the millions of visitors who trek to Asheville each year, many are drawn by the remarkable beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Plenty of local businesses understand this and strive to make the city itself part of the dining experience with inviting and innovative patio, rooftop and lawn seating options.

• For a bird’s-eye view of the city skyline and mountains, grab a table at one of Asheville’s many rooftop bars and restaurants. Perched on the eighth floor of the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel, The Montford , with its farm-fresh menu of small bites and locally sourced charcuterie and cheeses, is consistently a favorite in Xpress reader polls.

• Just across the street, the newly opened Soprana Rooftop Cucina at Embassy Suites by Hilton serves gorgeous sunset

views alongside its menu of cocktails and brick-oven pizzas showcasing local, seasonal ingredients.

• If you prefer to stay at ground level where you can experience Asheville’s lively street life, the patio at Isa’s French Bistro on the corner of Battery Park Avenue and Haywood Street is a popular hot spot for people watching — as well as for wine, cocktails and brasserie-style brunch, lunch and dinner specialties.

• Starting at the “Big Iron” sculpture across the way from Isa’s, quaint Wall Street has several coffee shops and restaurants, including chef William Dissen’s 45-year-old farm-to-table landmark The Market Place , that feature European-style, street-side café tables.

• On a nice day in Biltmore Village, look for Finch near the Cathedral of All Souls for lunch or a midday snack. This tiny grocer and café operates from an historic carriage house, serving sandwiches, salads and sweets as well as coffee drinks and wines by the glass in its picturesque outdoor seating area.

• Burial Beer’s Forestry Camp restaurant feels like a rustic mountain getaway just a short jaunt from the heart of Biltmore Village. Book a tour to learn about the property’s history as headquarters for the crews that built the Blue Ridge Parkway, then relax at a sunny patio or covered beer garden table for brunch or dinner with a house-brewed beer, craft cocktail or wine from Burial’s own Visuals label.

• Dog parents can head a bit farther south of downtown to the Bear’s Smokehouse location at Sweeten Creek Brewing to sip brews and nibble on baby back ribs or other barbecue specialties while their pups play in the on-site fenced dog park. Humans will also enjoy the volleyball court and outdoor live music.

• A few minutes north of downtown, newcomer Salt Face Mule Brewing Co. has hit on a winning combination with its brewpub-meets-minigolf concept. Where else can you drink a site-brewed pint and down a Buns of Anarchy double smash burger as your warmup for 18 holes of puttputt golf?

AROUND THE WORLD

TAKE AN INTERNATIONAL FOOD TOUR WITHOUT LEAVING ASHEVILLE

BY GINA SMITH

Western North Carolina offers a wealth of delicious dining experiences, but cravings for far-flung flavors are hard to ignore. In recent years, a steadily growing number of Asheville eateries offering global cuisines has helped give this small mountain city a decidedly international tang.

• Diners from all over the U.S. flock to Asheville to sample the Indian street food menu at Chai Pani , honored in 2022 with the James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurant. But the city is blessed with a bounty of other options for Indian flavors as well, such as Mëhfil , known for its tandoor breads and excellent lunch buffet. Next-door, brightly colored sister restaurant Dilbar slings fun Mumbai street food treats, including roti-wrapped frankies and spicy Indo-Chinese noodles.

• For a taste of the Philippines in Asheville, many folks vie for coveted reservations at nationally lauded chef Silver Iocovozzi’s small but mighty Neng Jr.’s in West Asheville. But for a more casual choice, consider the Filipino comfort

food menu at Master BBQ , tucked in a red trailer behind Zillicoah Beer Co. This up-and-coming food scene star offers grilled meat skewers and items such as chicken adobo and lumpia rolls made with family recipes.

• Downtown, wander down Commerce Street just off downtown’s busy Patton Avenue thoroughfare to find the traditional flavors of Ethiopia at Addissae restaurant. Vegan and vegetarian dishes, such as gomen (collard greens) and misir wa’t (red lentils in berbere sauce) are available along with meaty options, including kitfo — minced beef cooked with Ethiopian spiced butter. The fun part is using the gluten-free injera bread to scoop it all up!

• Venture west — not southwest to Central America but just to West Asheville — for authentic Salvadoran-style cuisine at Taste of El Salvador . Rice and corn pupusas (thick tortillas) stuffed with a selection of vegetables, cheese and meats top the menu. But there are numerous other tempting options as well, including pork chicharrones, fried yucca and plantain, carne asada and Salvadoran tamales wrapped in banana leaves.

• Stunning Art Deco architecture and a focus on food and the arts have contributed to Asheville’s nickname of Paris of the South. But for true French flavor, a stop at chef Michel Baudouin’s East Asheville restaurant, RendezVous , is a must. Baudouin’s crispy pommes frites are consistently voted the best fries in the city by Xpress readers, and they make a perfect snack with French onion soup or before an entrée of steak au poivre or chicken cordon bleu.

In 1918, as the Spanish influenza spread, sickbeds were in dire need. Here in Asheville, the Masonic Temple offered its rooms to those infected, including members of the city’s African American community.

DOES A BODY GOOD

ASHEVILLE DINERS ENJOY PLENTY OF GLUTEN-FREE, VEGAN AND VEGETARIAN OPTIONS

BY EDWIN ARNAUDIN

While vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dining in some cities still equates to soups, salads and boring sandwiches, Asheville continues to be a haven for alternative cuisine. From housemade veggie burgers to exotic noodle bowls, nearly every local restaurant offers some delicious plant-based option, and the ones that specialize in innovative dishes are worth celebrating.

• The greasy delights of The Trashy Vegan vanished with its closure in late 2023. But in its former West Asheville space, Smokin’ Onion has ensured that the neighborhood still has high-quality, vegan, fast-food-style meals. Breakfast and lunch option abound, and on Tuesdays when the brick-and-mortar spot is closed, you can find the business’s original food truck at New Belgium Brewing Co.

• Asheville’s Indian restaurant options keep multiplying — and with them, opportunities for delicious vegetarian dining. In Biltmore Village, Andaaz has so many meatless dishes that it takes two buffet trips to sample them all. And on the southern end of Biltmore Avenue downtown, Laila’s flavorforward creations and delicious pakoras set its all-you-can-eat challenge apart.

SMOKIN’ ONION

• There’s no question that Laughing Seed Café and Plant put Asheville on the map as a vegetarian and vegan food destination. The former has been around since 1993, pulling locals and visitors alike to Wall Street when little else of note was happening downtown. And the latter remains at the cutting edge of vegan cuisine and fine dining with seasonal twists on established menu items and house-crafted cocktails.

• The Lebanese street food from Gypsy Queen Cuisine includes such staples as hummus, baba ghanouj and tabouleh, but it’s in the more filling items that the restaurant really shines. It’s tough to choose between the vegan “Not Lamb” and “Not Chicken” shawarma wraps, so flip a coin and get the other one next time — or get both and go halfsies with a friend.

• For 15 years, Posana has served a wholly gluten-free menu at its Pack Square dining room. In turn, patrons with celiac disease and their nonceliac friends and family can enjoy the same forward-thinking meals, made with locally sourced seasonal ingredients, without sacrificing flavor or quality.

• Though the scratch-made Italian dishes served at Strada Italiano and Gemelli — house-made pastas, hand-tossed pizzas, traditional entrées and baked goods like focaccia and bombolini — don’t sound like ideal fare for folks avoiding gluten, chef and owner Anthony Cerrato offers gluten-free and gluten-sensitive as well as vegan options of those dishes and more at both places.

HAPPY HOUR

EXPLORING ASHEVILLE’S WINE BARS, COCKTAIL LOUNGES, KAVA CAVES AND BEYOND

BY GINA SMITH

Asheville is famous for its craft brews, but the city also invites thirsty souls seeking other types of libations to belly up to the bar. All around town, drinking spots abound, from wineries and craft cocktail lounges to dive bars and distilleries. And in recent years, many establishments are offering lots of zero-proof options for those avoiding or cutting back on alcohol.

• Biltmore Winery is well known for its free tastings and wine bar. But another source for locally made vintages is pl ē b urban winery , which operates a spacious tasting room at the River Arts District facility where it crafts its wines from grapes grown in the area using organic and biodynamic agriculture practices.

THE TIKI EASY BAR

• Also in the RAD, Bottle Riot ’s lively lineup of music, art and other events is the perfect complement to its huge wine list and cocktail offerings. It also features a selection of nonalcoholic and CBD beverages.

• For wine on the west side — as well as vermouths, amari, sherries, ports, madeiras and vin de liqueurs — Leo’s House of Thirst is a lovely, laid-back spot for sipping. The menu of shareables and entrées from chef Austin Inselmann means you can feel free to come hungry as well.

• Downtown at the majestic Grove Arcade, order a Champagne flight, a literary-themed sparkling cocktail or just a simple glass of merlot at Battery Park Book Exchange & Champagne Bar to make a festive occasion out of the search for new reading material.

• In addition to its namesake cocktail, The Golden Pineapple ’s entertaining beverage menu features a list of cleverly named mixed drinks plus shooters, several slushes and three kinds of boilermakers. If that’s not enough, the West Asheville spot also offers beer, wine and a tempting lineup of snacks, wings and sandwiches.

• Head to the South Slope for a three-story cocktail and distillery experience at Antidote . Sister business to Chemist Spirits , Antidote’s two floors of cocktail lounges and rooftop bar have a time-traveling feel with their early 1900s apothecary theme.

• For something completely different, visit nearby Ben’s Tune Up , which combines a sake brewery with an Asianfusion food menu and beer garden.

• Next door, hidden in the back of Hi-Wire Brewing, The Tiki Easy Bar specializes in exotic cocktails — frozen boat drinks, shareable bowls and other wild things served in weird glasses, including several nonalcoholic options. With its over-the-top décor and sonic tropical thunderstorms periodically piped in over the sound system, it’s an off-thewall minivacation.

• Another place for uncommon — and alcohol-free — sips is Sovereign Kava just south of downtown. The dogfriendly spot has a large menu of drinks made from the relaxing South Pacific herb kava, as well as kratom and cannabis beverages.

The Langren Hotel opened on July 4, 1912. It was located on the corner of Broadway and College Street. With 210 rooms, local papers celebrated its arrival and its implication for the city’s growing tourism industry. The building was razed in 1964, replaced by a parking lot. In 2017, the AC Hotel Asheville Downtown opened where the Langren once stood.

INTO THE NIGHT

MIDNIGHT (OR LATER) SNACKS

In a city bursting with tantalizing food options, why limit yourself to three meals a day? Sneaking in the occasional afterhours fourth meal — call it late dinner or early breakfast — is sometimes just the thing. Though Asheville has previously lacked options for late-evening and wee-hours eats, downtown and other neighborhoods are now offering a growing number of late-night menus to explore.

• To satisfy the munchies after a downtown show, head to Foggy Mountain Brew Pub , which stays open until midnight serving scratch-made pub grub favorites, including wings, gyros, burgers and locally beloved mac and cheese.

• A few blocks away on the South Slope, chef Jay Medford keeps Storm Rhum Bar open until 1 a.m. seven days a week, catering to night owls with an ever-changing, affordably priced, late-night menu of snacks, burgers and more.

• Load up on midnight pierogies, fried deviled eggs or your choice of sandwiches — including vegan options — at The Barrelhouse . Open until 2 a.m., the North Asheville neighborhood bar also features live music.

• If your nighttime taste buds are adventurous, go for baconwrapped jalapeno tots or an Elvis burger with banana and peanut butter at The Social until 1 a.m. weeknights and 2 a.m. on weekends. The East Asheville spot also has plenty of other options, including a selection of Philly cheesesteaks,

sandwiches and wings. To keep guests entertained, it hosts regular karaoke night events.

• Also perfect for off-the-wall nocturnal noshing is The Odd in West Asheville. Open until 2 a.m., it has a full menu ranging from loaded nachos to bahn mi sandwiches and burgers — with vegan options for all — to go with its events calendar of live music and drag shows. The aptly named bar is also a museum of oddities, with a fortunetelling Zoltar machine, taxidermied animals and countless other curios. Colorful, over-the-top cocktails with names such as Merman’s Glitterade and Radioactive Unicorn Tears complete the experience.

• On the other end of Haywood Road in West Asheville, tuck into chef Steven Goff’s burgers, bodega sandwiches and other goodies until 3 a.m. at Tastee Diner . Depending on the night, you might also be lucky enough to catch a latenight trivia competition or pajama dance party as well.

• Another after-dark West Asheville favorite, Universal Joint aims to satisfy a wide range of cravings until midnight or 1 a.m., depending on the night. The menu features a huge selection of burgers and sandwiches plus bar snacks such as fried cheese curds, spicy eggrolls and the Universal fries, stacked with cheddar, smoked bacon, jalapenos and ranch.

JUST DESSERTS

ASHEVILLE IS PERFECTION WHEN IT COMES TO SWEET CONFECTIONS

BY JESSICA WAKEMAN

Asheville’s famous for its brews and farm-raised burgers — which suits locals just fine, because it means the city’s surfeit of sweet treats is just our little secret. Follow your sweet tooth’s cravings all over town to discover an abundance of bakeries, ice cream shops, chocolatiers and eateries dedicated to sugary satisfaction.

• If you eat one dessert in Asheville, make it a banana pudding. The regional favorite is permanently on the dessert menus at Luella’s Bar-B-Que and Black Bear BBQ , so you have an excuse to load up on pulled park before indulging in that Nilla wafer and vanilla custard goodness. (Next stop? Huli Sue’s BBQ & Grill for a banana cream pie.)

• French Broad Chocolate Lounge on Pack Square is a favorite for tourists and downtown workers alike — anyone, really, who needs a midafternoon bonbon. But we’d be remiss not to mention the French Broad Chocolate Factory

SUGAR & SNOW GELATO

and Cafe , located north of the River Arts District. Tour the chocolate factory to learn the process from bean to bar and, of course, sample some treats. It’s a considerably safer tour than the one at Mr. Wonka’s factory, or so we hear.

• It could take an entire week to hit up all the bakeries in this town. Well-Bred Bakery is a local favorite with spots at the Grove Arcade, Biltmore Village, Weaverville and a food truck in Reems Creek. Pastries vary at each location, so check menus first if you’re on a specific mission for rugelach or peanut butter pie.

• Old Europe Pastries has been an Asheville fixture since 1994 but recently moved into a new downtown building — still on Broadway, just across the street. It’s home to all the croissants you could possibly want, as well as desserts like macarons, tiramisu and Key lime pie.

• In West Asheville, stop by another city landmark, West End Bakery , for cinnamon buns, vegan chocolate chip cookies and doughnuts so creatively decorated you’ll hesitate (only briefly!) to eat them.

• It doesn’t need to be a hot summer day to enjoy an icy treat. Sugar & Snow Gelato can sate your appetite with everything from salted caramel swirl gelato to veganfriendly sorbet and gelato pies. (Yes, a pie made out of gelato!) The River Arts District shop also has a café offering sandwiches, salads, baked goods, beer and more.

• To get a taste of quintessential Asheville ice cream artistry, visit Ultimate Ice Cream ’s East Asheville or Charlotte Street shops or hop on over to one of The Hop ’s five local locations. Both businesses are longtime local stars, churning out inventive, house-made frozen dairy and nondairy creations as well as well-crafted takes on classic flavors.

LEGENDARY LAGERS (AND ALES)

THE ALLURE OF BEER CITY REMAINS STRONG

BY EDWIN ARNAUDIN

Asheville’s brewing industry is nearly old enough to have a midlife crisis. With Highland Brewing Co. celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024 and fellow longtime establishments Green Man Brewery and Asheville Brewing Co. not far behind, the city’s ability to sustain such businesses for three decades only adds to its reputation as one of the East Coast’s premier craft beverage destinations.

Even second-generation enterprises like Burial Beer Co. and Wicked Weed Brewing that kept the local industry’s flame lit in the early 2010s have now been around over 10 years and continue to expand their reach. Along with new additions joining the scene, often in the very spots where other breweries once poured, these proven brands make Buncombe County’s offerings as exciting as they’ve ever been.

• Still primarily the home of Asheville’s creative community, the River Arts District has quietly built a bustling brewery scene. In addition to industry stalwart Wedge Brewing Co.’s dual locations, Hi-Wire Brewing’s RAD Beer Garden offers plentiful outdoor seating. And while 12 Bones Brewing’s

array of beers are made at its South Asheville location, a healthy number of options are available on draft and to go in cans at its Foundation spot.

• While “East West Asheville” sustains four taprooms plus an award-winning beer bar in The Whale, the consolidation of UpCountry Brewing Co. to a lone Brevard location in 2023 left the Patton Avenue end of Haywood Road without a craft brewery. Enter Diatribe Brewing Co., which took over the turnkey operation and now fills the neighborhood void with a range of beer styles and rotating offerings on cask.

• In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Asheville’s cider industry has taken somewhat of a step back. Noble Cider vacated its downtown location (but distribution and the original taproom at its Leicester production facility remains vibrant), and Urban Orchard Cider Co. parted ways with its original West Asheville facility (yet its South Slope spot stays active late into each night). For the moment, that leaves Bold Rock Hard Cider and Botanist & Barrel as downtown’s only purveyors of gluten-free, apple-centric beverages.

• Expansion likewise proved short-lived for Ginger’s Revenge, which scaled back to a single location after just over a year on the South Slope. Its alcoholic, gluten-free ginger beers can still be enjoyed at its original tasting room and found on shelves throughout the region.

LOCAL GEMS

ON THE HUNT FOR ASHEVILLE’S HIDDEN RESTAURANT TREASURES

SAND HILL KITCHEN

BY GINA SMITH

There’s no shortage of high-profile, fancy-pants eateries to explore in Asheville. But there’s a special kind of joy that comes from unearthing inconspicuous culinary treasures that locals revere but visitors seldom find. Fortunately, stashed in gas station nooks and strip mall crannies, Asheville has plenty of those tasty little gems as well.

• Isn’t it great when a gas station can fill your stomach along with your car’s fuel tank? Well off the beaten track in West Asheville, Sand Hill Kitchen flies under the radar inside a corner BP station, serving some of the area’s most delicious, scratch-made breakfast and lunch dishes. The fried chicken sandwich and cheeseburger have won multiple awards, but local veggie lovers also swear by the pastrami-spiced roasted beet sandwich.

• For lunch or dinner takeout on the south end of town, Pon’s Thai Cuisine is another tiny and locally beloved gas station jewel worth discovering. Choose from a full menu of Thai curries, noodles, soups and entrées plus mango or steamed banana sticky rice for dessert.

• True to its name, the unassuming Pupuseria Patty’s (now with two Asheville locations) serves El Salvador’s national dish of

pupusas — thick, griddled corn tortillas stuffed with everything from chicken and shrimp to pumpkin and cheese — along with Mexican and Honduran specialties.

• Blink and you’ll miss Biryani Express, wedged between a Great Clips and a Rent-A-Center in an East Asheville strip mall. But it’s worth searching for this low-profile, neighborhood favorite to get a taste of Pakistani biryani rice dishes, Indian curries, naan, shawarma rolls and South Asian specialties such as haleem and kofta.

• In 2022, Food & Wine magazine listed 5 Points Restaurant as the sole North Carolina representative on its list of the “Best Diners in Every State.” But owners Louie and Pati Sellas didn’t let the accolade go to their heads. The North Asheville spot, which opened in 1972, is still as no-frills and friendly as ever, with a generous menu that rambles from country-fried steak and corned beef hash to Greek specialties, including spanakopita and moussaka.

• About 15 minutes outside Asheville en route to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park, The Local Joint is an upbeat modern diner with breakfast, lunch and dinner menus that are both comfortably approachable and creative enough to be interesting. From fried chicken breakfast sandwiches and pancakes to huge salads, burgers and vegan entrées, there’s something to make everyone smile.

PERKS AND POURS

ASHEVILLE’S COFFEE SHOPS, TEAHOUSES AND SMOOTHIE CAFÉS KEEP THE VIBRATIONS HIGH

BY THOMAS CALDER

Perhaps you are the type of morning person who ought not be spoken to until a cup of coffee is in hand. There is no shame in this. In fact, there is only empathy and understanding.

Yes, coffee is a must for many locals and tourists alike. And, fortunately for both parties, there are ample options to choose from.

If you don’t drink coffee, there are plenty of alternative choices in the forms of tea, smoothies and juice. But don’t you dare initiate conversation (with your fancy mango breath) until all other parties have obtained their morning cup of joe.

• When visiting Asheville, you will inevitably wind up downtown. Be prepared to make some hard choices.

HIGH FIVE COFFEE

PHOTO BY THOMAS CALDER

One tried-and-true option is to visit High Five Coffee on Rankin Avenue. The business has been voted No. 1 Establishment with the Best Coffee for more than four years in a row in Xpress’s annual Best of WNC polls. High Five also has locations in Woodfin as well as on the outskirts of downtown.

• If you’re in the mood to sip and people-watch downtown, the little patio at Rite Rite on Wall Street often delivers a unique mix of buskers, tourists and locals alike. But if you want something nestled in a more historical setting, head to PennyCup Coffee Co. on Market Street. The business stands adjacent to the YMI, one of the nation’s oldest freestanding Black cultural centers. Similar to High Five Coffee, both Rite Rite and PennyCup have additional locations in other parts of town as well.

• While in the North Asheville area, be sure to also swing by Pulp + Sprout Juice Bar and Vegan Cafe . Along with a full list of cold-pressed juices, smoothies and smoothie bowls, the business offers a delicious menu of plant-based foods. If you’re more of a meat eater, head next door to Liberty House Coffee & Café and try the bison burger.

• Then, of course, there’s West Asheville. BattleCat Coffee Bar and Odd’s Café earned first- and third-place finishes, respectively, for their stellar vibes in Xpress ’s 2023-24 Best of WNC awards. The two shops are exactly 1 mile apart on Haywood Road, with plenty of additional options between them, including perennial favorites Dobrá Tea , Simple Cafe & Juice Bar and Izzy’s Coffee House .

• Finally, don’t forget the River Arts District. At this point in your trip, you are likely exhausted and will definitely need another caffeine boost. Like West Asheville, there are ample options. Grind AVL is Asheville’s first Black-owned coffee shop and serves as an incubator for Black businesses. Meanwhile, Ultra Coffeebar offers a selection of pastries, bagels and salads alongside its pours. Finally, if you find yourself on the outer edge of the RAD, in the Foundy Street area, hit up Summit Coffee and take a selfie next to any of the area’s countless colorful murals.

For nearly 40 years, local auto racing enthusiasts went down to Amboy Road on Friday nights for an action-packed evening at “The River.” Built in 1960, the New Asheville Speedway, eventually renamed the Asheville Motor Speedway, was the place to be at the end of the workweek. And even for those who didn’t go, the carrying roar of engines made the track’s presence known across town.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

DINING SPOTS TO PLEASE THE WHOLE FAMILY

BY THOMAS CALDER

If you are a parent or a guardian of a young child, then you’ve likely experienced the anxiety that sometimes comes with dining out as a family. There’s no guarantee your kid will stay seated throughout the meal. When it comes to using indoor voices, you’ve got 50/50 chance. And then there’s the dreaded stare-down: No matter how many times you beg your child to stop, their gaze remains fixated on a fellow diner, likely ruining that person’s meal.

Below are a handful of Asheville’s many kid-friendly restaurants. Dining at any of these locations will not guarantee a well-behaved child, but you can at least rest assured that the staff likely has seen it all.

• Don’t be fooled by its tranquil music — Zen Sushi welcomes children with open arms. Located in the Merrimon Square shopping plaza in North Asheville, the Japanese restaurant’s staff is prone to sharing balloons and candy with its younger diners. If that doesn’t work, you can always try bribing your child with a post-dinner visit to The Hop Handcrafted Ice Cream, downstairs in the same plaza.

ZEN SUSHI PHOTO BY THOMAS CALDER

• If sushi isn’t your thing, head one-tenth of a mile north on Merrimon Avenue and turn right into Asheville Pizza & Brewing Co. Along with fantastic pies and beer, the restaurant is loaded with colorful murals. Trust us — you can spend days playing “I Spy” inside this place. And if that doesn’t work, send your kid to the pizzeria’s funhouse mirror next to the bathrooms to keep them occupied until your food arrives.

• Kids, of course, can be picky eaters. But if there’s one menu item they never seem to tire of, it’s probably mac and cheese. If this sounds like your child, head downtown to Daddy Mac’s Down Home Dive. Along with ample indoor and outdoor seating, the restaurant has a variety of mac and cheese options, as well as barbecue, burgers and more.

• If a young carnivore in your life is craving poultry, look no farther than Rocky’s Hot Chicken Shack. But parents beware: The shack’s “extra hot” fried chicken is no lie. If your child is a daredevil, make sure you have a glass of milk ready.

• For those with children who love a garden stroll, you can’t beat Sunny Point Café in West Asheville. Its popular breakfast menu — the French toast is divine — often draws large crowds. If there is a line, hop next door to Rabbit Hole bakery for a treat or check out the restaurant’s garden.

STARTING POINTS

GREAT BREAKFAST AND BRUNCH OPTIONS ABOUND AROUND TOWN

BY EDWIN ARNAUDIN

Most folks have had a parent, friend or precocious child tell us that breakfast is the most important meal of the day — but what do the professionals say? Just that: According to a 2023 WebMD article, morning noshing “kick-starts your metabolism, helping you burn calories throughout the day” and also “gives you the energy you need to get things done and helps you focus at work or at school.” Sound good? Then let the eating commence at these and other local establishments.

• If you don’t mind idling a bit for a table to free up, Biscuit Head is well worth the wait. The much-hyped restaurant’s three Asheville locations are among the city’s top draws for tourists and locals alike on weekends, but customers

can typically walk right in and order without delay during the week.

• Likewise sporting a trio of spaces spread across town, fellow iconic restaurant Early Girl Eatery continues to earn its reputation as a top spot for foodies. The plentiful savory and sweet menu options run the gamut of morning meals, and the Southern tomato, vegetarian herb cream and smoky bacon gravies are so memorable that you can order some to go.

• For overall value, Taco Billy is tough to beat on the tortillawrapped front for lunch and supper, but don’t sleep on its breakfast offerings, which combine eggs with a host of fresh meats and vegetables (depending on your preference). Even if you do sleep through “normal” breakfast hours, you’re still in luck: These gems are served all day at the restaurant’s West Asheville and Black Mountain locations.

• In North Asheville, HomeGrown lives up to its motto of “Slow food right quick!” with such breakfast delights as openface fried chicken biscuits and huevos rancheros. And on weekends, the bulk of those offerings are featured alongside soups, sandwiches and more lunch-leaning options on its brunch menu.

• Start the day with a side of panoramic mountain views to complement your meal at Asheville’s rooftop bars and restaurants. Find anything from avocado toast to a Spanishstyle communal spread with croissants and quiche at the freshly renovated Capella on 9 atop the AC Hotel. Or go for breakfast empanadas and other Cuban flavors at Hemingway’s Cuba on the roof of the Cambria Hotel.

• No list of local breakfasts would be complete without one of city’s greatest exports, Tupelo Honey. Though diners in 26 locations across 17 states can enjoy the franchise’s diverse Southern fare and signature pepper-flaked biscuits with blueberry compote made from fruit grown at Fairview’s Imladris Farm, there’s something special about sitting down for a meal at its original downtown Asheville location.

According to local author and historian Mary McPhail Standaert, liquor sales became legal in Buncombe County in 1937, after the end of Prohibition, but sales and consumption of alcohol remained outlawed in the Town of Black Mountain until the 1960s. Restaurateur Roy Campbell built his restaurant, Roy’s Inn, just outside Black Mountain’s town limits, offering dancing, food and beer. The neighboring Town of Montreat is still partially “dry” — it’s legal to serve and consume alcohol but illegal to sell it.
