10 Affordable Restaurants to Try in Asheville
"You won’t find any generic Chinese takeout options on Gan Shan’s menu. The eclectic and innovative menu offers interesting twists on more typical flavors. A few of my favorites include house made dumplings, dan dan brussel sprouts, red curry short ribs and the drunken noodles."
"Gan Shan Station’s menu boasts Asian food prepared with fresh, local ingredients. Whether you’re craving Chinese or Vietnamese, chances are you’ll find a dish that will satiate your appetite!"
"82 Patton Avenue Suite 100, Asheville, NC 28801(828) 505-8688. One of our all-time favorite Asian fusion restaurants in Asheville, Red Ginger Dimsum and Tapas is home to dumplings and sushi. We ate here long before we moved to Asheville and can’t get enough."
"Red Ginger is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Asheville, and it is also a great spot for an affordable meal. As its name suggests, Red Ginger focuses on dim sum, so enjoy a ..."
"Nothing beats tapas for lunch, especially those served at Red Ginger Dim Sum and Tapas. This Asian restaurant has been recognized for its outstanding cuisine, dishing up modern int..."
"If you love sushi, Zen is a quieter spot perfect for North Asheville takeout. Grab a fast lunch special like their two or three-roll combo with soup and salad. For dinner, we love their wide array of specialty sushi rolls."
"The last best vegetarian restaurant to try in Asheville on our list is Blue Dream Curry House, another counter-order location that brings tons of flavors to each plate at affordable prices. Go for plant meat tacos, vegetarian curries or vegetarian soups and bowls like pho and Malaysian coconut soup. The minimalist space offers the option of adding No Evil Foods plant meat or tofu to any dish, too."
"Located in Biltmore Village, Blue is a unique little boutique where goldsmiths Lynn Daniel and Susan West showcase their own hand made jewelry as well as the work of family and friends. Their jewelry is very personally artistic, and the other works, which include bright paintings and laser cut steel party decorations, are one of a kind. Read more about Blue →"

"If Asheville is well known for its culinary scene, it’s equally beloved for its beverages, especially beer. Locals credit Oscar Wong’s Highland Brewing Company with kicking off the craftbrew culture in 1995, and it has exploded in years since, making it one of the go-to cities for a beer tour. To taste your way through the offerings, head first to the South Slope, where a dozen breweries line the streets."
"Brewery Tour – grab a brewery guide from the Visitors Center and head to the South Slope on a self-guided brewery tour. This area is home to 9 of Asheville’s 28 breweries. We personally recommend Catawba Brewing, Burial Beer Co. and the Funkatorium."
"Visit the South Slope of Asheville and check out the Funkatorium, a Wicked Weed Brewing establishment that features over a dozen varieties of beers on draft. If you’re looking for a place to grab a place to eat as well, this is an excellent option."
"The Hendersonville area may not have nearly as many breweries as you’ll find in neighboring Asheville. But between the Sierra Nevada Brewery and the Bold Rock Mills River Cidery, it is home to two of NC’s best. Located in Mills River (just 7 miles from downtown Hendersonville), Bold Rock is clearly a cidery first, and restaurant second."
"Dubbed "New Agrarian," Cultura in Asheville’s up-and-coming South Slope celebrates old-world techniques and communal feasts. Choose from small plates like lobster crudo with black sesame, turnips and seaweed, or octopus with inked rice and cultured coconut, or go full-on with one of the signature family-style Bacchanal feasts like the Swiss Chalet fondue bowl, Colonel Hester’s Bucket of Birds smoked and fried chicken, or the Racks on Racks baby backs served with a seasonal bounty."
"Hidden just outside Biltmore Village in Burial Beer Co.’s two-acre production complex, Forestry Camp’s carefully preserved 1930s-era wooden building housed members of the Civilian Conservation Corps during the construction of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Experience the range of executive chef J.T. DeBrie’s locally sourced, whole-animal, in-house butchering program with the rotating butcher board, or cover all your bases with the five-course tasting menu, which offers plenty of dishes highlighting veggies and mushrooms grown in the surrounding mountains."
