Best Dinner Places to Eat 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."

"Housed in an endearingly austere space, Burial Beer Co.’s main taproom looks like a repair shop that’s been retrofitted with barrels and twinkling lights. But it’s also one of the most exciting and inventive breweries in South Slope, offering a vast and varied selection of styles. IPAs typically occupy a lot of space on the draft lines, in multiple variations and flavor profiles, like fruit-forward triple IPAs and oat-based imperials."

"Burial is one of our favorite breweries in town because not only do they have a ton of great brew on tap but they also have some great seating options. Besides a bunch of picnic tables, some of which have umbrellas, there’s even an old vintage truck out back that’s been made into some fun, unique seating. Beer to try: Surf Wax IPA"

"One of the newer Thai food restaurants in Asheville on our bucket list, we cannot wait to try Thai Pearl. Located in West Asheville — along with curries, rice, soups, and salads — they also serve fresh oysters. Notably, Chef May trained and cooked at The Royal Palace in Bangkok, Thailand."

"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."

"If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle and crowds in downtown Asheville, this is a great spot. The entry is somewhat hard to find and covered in ivy. The grounds are vast with a ton of green space and the Swannanoa river runs along the property."

"Sip beers brewed over a live fire and fermented with house-cultured yeast at this high-gloss bar fashioned from the beds of old trucks. 155 Thompson St.; cursuskeme.com"

"One of Colorado’s best breweries decided to expand into the South!. New Belgium‘s incredible North Carolina location is a great place to spend an afternoon. In addition to a wide variety of beer, they also offer some of the best brewery tours in Asheville, NC. The brewery is right next to a river, so you’ll have great views while you sip."

"This Colorado-based brewing company is so popular that they were able to establish themselves on the country’s east coast. And what better place for an additional brewery and taproom than the beer-centric city of Asheville. You’ll find New Belgium Brewing across from downtown Asheville and across the French Broad River."

"They have indoor and outdoor patio seating, as well as a fire pit under string lights (what could be better). They offer a free 90-minute brewery tour as well as multiple samples along the way. If you get hungry, they always have a couple food trucks to grab a bite from."
