Everybody Loves Lists!

Whether it’s Favorite Movies or The 21 Best Fonts For Your Next Tattoo, lists are loved. Here’s my own little eat-out list of Asheville favorites (not in any particular order).

  1. Sunny Point Café

The wait can be brutal, so go on off-hours, but there’s a reason for that wait! A finalist on Good Morning America’s ‘Best Breakfast in America’, it’s stayed my favorite all-around restaurant in Asheville since they opened.

  1. Bandido’s Latin Kitchen

Chef made, not your rice and beans. Go if you need a plantains fix. A hole-in the wall, priced really well. Don’t expect ambience, just great food!

  1. Tod’s Tasties

Owned by upscale Table, Tod’s is an alter ego, casual and cozy with a hipster neighborhood feel. Everything is made fresh daily, sourced as local as possible. Inexpensive. Good menu, great food for any meal.

  1. White Duck Taco

The original in the River Arts District is still my favorite for the best tacos in town and a soft landing on your wallet. If you like shrimp, MANY people will say the Bangkok Shrimp taco is the best they’ve ever had. Yep.

  1. Rosetta’s Kitchen

Full-on Asheville atmosphere. Fantastic vegetarian comfort food! Incredible, creative menu with too many amazing options to choose from, you’ll never get bored. Some favorites: the tempeh Rueben and the Pad Thai. Never had a bad meal there.
