NatureWurks "Where To Eat" Tips

North Asheville Restaurants

North Asheville is the place to find upscale, award-winning and mouth-watering cuisine.

The restaurants here have received accolades from Frommer’s, Southern Living, Wine Spectator and the New York Times.
Lovers of gourmet cuisine can be treated to a unique foodie experience dining at the chef’s table inside the kitchen of a AAA four-diamond restaurant, watching as nine courses are prepared for their sampling. There is an innovative, modern restaurant that serves up line-caught fresh seafood flown in six days a week (and doesn’t even own a storage freezer).
In North Asheville, dining is not simply a way to end hunger pangs. It is an experience unto itself as you discover impressive gourmet cuisine of the caliber of big city restaurants, but at a fraction of the price.
