12 Most Romantic Restaurants for Valentine’s Day in Asheville
"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"
"White Duck Taco Shop is an Asheville institution, and it’s easy to see why. This fast eatery serves creative tacos and Southern-inspired sides in an ultra-casual setting. Order your tacos inside, and take them outside to enjoy on the large picnic tables."
"I can’t even think about someone not liking them—it’s a scary image!. So, I present to you White Duck Taco, home to some of Asheville’s finest. Street food like tacos are an excellent option if you’re eating on a budget while you travel."
"This labor of love from pitmaster Elliott Moss and Chai Pani founder Meherwan Irani deftly conjures the Eastern Carolina ‘cue of Moss’s childhood in Florence, South Carolina. In the high-ceilinged historic South Slope space (an artfully renovated 1930’s-era roller-skating rink), Moss wood-smokes locally sourced whole hogs for hours, seasoning with vinegar mop, so the pulled pork plates and sandwiches are an obvious draw. But the smoky fried catfish and buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches have deservedly developed their own cult followings, as have the sides, many of which are cooked in the coals under the pig where they soak up intense smoke flavor and decadent drippings."
"In the land of barbecue, Buxton Hall is a step above competitors. Housed inside a historic South Slope space that was once a roller rink before clocking time as the requisite auto shop, the restaurant is the purview of chefs Elliott Moss and Meherwan Irani. They preside over the whole-hog open kitchen, churning out such fragrant fare as pulled pork sandwiches sloshed in vinegary pepper sauce, buttermilk fried chicken topped with creamy white barbecue sauce, smoked sausage platters, and barbecue pork hash with hush puppies, gravy, and rice."
"There’s a reason Bon Appetit magazine named Buxton Hall Barbecue one of the best new restaurants in the nation. In a landscape dotted with Carolina barbecue joints, Buxton Hall stands head and shoulders above the crowd. Don’t take that to mean it’s an overly fancy place."
"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."
"The Foggy Mountain Brew Pub in Asheville provides quality meals made fresh!. Check out the website every week for special events happening every day. The restaurant also features a dog-friendly patio and a casual atmosphere to enjoy your food and beer."
"Brought to you by the makers of Burial Beer, Forestry Camp is both restaurant, brewery and bar. They have a great indoor space that feels like you’ve stepped into a lodge at a National Park. (The buildings actually were constructed by the US Government and housed workers from the CCC who helped out on numerous projects including our beloved Blue Ridge Parkway)."
"This restaurant from the people who brought you Burial Beer has plenty of outdoor dining on an open-air rooftop deck and outdoor picnic area. Oysters and bubbles more your speed for brunch?"
