Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Mount Mitchell

"Tupelo is one of the busiest and most popular restaurants, especially their downtown cafe. Known for locally-sourced ingredients, Tupelo has southern cuisine and offers brunch all day. If you didn’t make a reservation in time and cannot eat Tupelo Honey’s Southern Shakshuka in person, definitely add them to your Asheville takeout and delivery list."

"One of the best restaurants in Asheville is Tupelo Honey Cafe, a fan favorite for in-store and patio dining. The restaurant has revived the delicious Southern foods and traditions that are rooted in North Carolina’s history. All of the recipes are made with responsibly-sourced ingredients, providing guests with healthy and delicious meals."

"It’s still pandemic—the time of takeout, if you’re lucky enough to be within range of a culinary scene—and I’m sliding down the Blue Ridge Parkway with a massive Country Ham Biscuit breakfast sandwich riding shotgun. My companion is a “not for city slickers” favorite from Biscuit Head, a Southern home-cooking spot that’s earned shout-outs in Bon Appetit and Food and Wine, though it’s free of pretense, focused more on supporting local vendors and minimizing its carbon footprint.

"Each entree consists of a freshly baked biscuit with your choice of toppings; standouts include the fried chicken gravy and the pork sausage gravy. A large menu of side dishes rounds out the meal with sausage, bacon, grits, and cheese-topped fries. When you’re visiting with kids, it’s a good idea to go on a weekday morning to avoid longer lines."

"If you honestly can’t get enough of this southern staple, we honestly can’t blame you. But this place takes them to a whole new level with fluffy biscuits shaped like the head of a cat. Oh, did we forget to tell you about the flights of gravy and the butter bar too?"

"Sunny Point Cafe is a family run farm-to-table comfort food restaurant known for hearty breakfast staples like huevos rancheros and the “mighty good breakfast pie,” featuring their signature bacon, free-range eggs, and sharp white cheddar baked in a cream cheese crust, served with a side of fresh seasonal fruit. (They also serve a delicious maple-black pepper bacon that you can also get 12 pieces of as a side. Highly recommended for bacon-lovers!). We love that this Asheville breakfast spot is always cooking with super fresh, hyper-seasonal ingredients."

"With southern breakfast dishes like huevos rancheros, chicken & waffles and shrimp & grits you will not find a time when this place isn’t busy. While you wait, grab a coffee or mimosa and chill on the patio or stroll through their fruit and vegetable garden. The maple black pepper bacon is life changing, your mouth will thank you."

"If you love breakfast food for dinner – this is the place for you. This family owned eatery is one of the few open past 3pm, and their dinner menu contains many of their breakfast and brunch staples. While Sunny Point Cafe is notorious for a long wait, Ashevillians agree it’s well worth it."

"The Reynolds Mansion offers breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and convenient access to many North Carolina attractions. Sit in front of a fireplace and enjoy the sound of silence in Claudette Room. Or lie down on a charming poster bed with great amenities at Linda Room."

And there are so many dog friendly restaurants in Asheville that it will be easy to bring your pup along."

"And for something a little closer to home in Black Mountain, the Veranda serves up the best lunch in town, plus a quiet little patio out back, perfect for enjoying an intimate lunch. Enjoy soups, salads, and sandwiches at this quirky home-grown café."

"Haywood Common is a farm-to-table style restaurant that sources their ingredients locally. The relaxed atmosphere at this West Asheville spot is an ideal spot for a romantic night out. Serving New American style food and seasonal options, Haywood Common has something for every taste—they are even vegetarian-friendly!"

"West Asheville hot spot Haywood Common serves seasonal, Appalachian-grown comfort food that’s some of the best in Asheville. Their Thai Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and rustic, skin-on french fries are absolutely insane. So is the grass-fed burger and sensational cast-iron cornbread."

"Located right across from the two most popular busking corners in Asheville, this is one of our favorite spots to enjoy live street music while dining. Isa’s recently changed their concept to French cuisine, a point especially driven home when dining al fresco under their awning."

"Isa’s Bistro – serving popular American dishes with a Mediterranean influence, this downtown icon prints daily menus to highlight the best available local produce. We found the food to be creative, beautiful and tasty."

"Isa’s Bistro entices diners with its bright, modern space and pet-friendly patio. But it’s the regularly changing lineup of French bistro-inspired cuisine that keeps them coming ba..."

"HOURS: Sun-Thu 11am to 8pm; Fri-Sat 11am to 9pm; Delivery available until 9:30pm. In the interest of full disclosure, I worked my way through college at a Mellow Mushroom offshoot in Atlanta, and later managed one of the oldest Mellow Mushroom locations (across from ATL’s Piedmont Park). So you’ll forgive me for having a bit of personal bias towards this iconic pizza place now, nearly 30 years later."
