Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Blue Ridge Mountains

"Dark wood floors, muted yellow walls, bistro tables topped with flowers and additional sidewalk seating give this eatery upscale appeal. The kitchen serves tantalizing breakfasts such as New Orleans-style French toast, sweet potato pancakes and omelets with complimentary hot biscuits all day. Dinner options include shrimp and grits, nutty fried chicken with mashed sweet potatoes, and a veggie plate that might include organic honey-glazed carrots, marinated grilled tofu or candied ginger cornbread with peanut butter."

"There are currently two locations—downtown and West Asheville. A third location is opening in South Asheville sometime in 2018. Don’t let the lines scare you, this brunch will be worth the wait!"

"Two other hot breakfast spots in Asheville are in the West Asheville neighborhood: Sunny Point Cafe (consistently ranked one of the best breakfast spots in Asheville) and Biscuit Head."

"Sunny Point Café – an Asheville institution and a place that is worth the wait, we recommend heading here for breakfast. They operate a farm to table concept using many ingredients straight from their garden out back. You can’t go wrong, no matter what you order, just make sure you go hungry."

"Sunny Point is the quintessential West Asheville eatery: food is simple, delicious, and not too expensive; dogs are welcome; herbs and some...Read More"

"The Reynolds Mansion is one of only a few surviving brick mansions in the region from before the American Civil War. It was built by Colonel Daniel Reynolds in 1847, and the property once encompassed over 1,500 acres of land. Today, the three-story brick home lives on as a bed and breakfast, where guests can enjoy a lavish environment and the company of the friendly innkeepers Michael and Billy as well as their two bulldogs, Rhett and Scarlett."

"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."

"100 Reynolds Heights, Asheville, NC 28804 // map5.5 miles to city center (11 minutes)828.258.1111 & 888.611.1156. If you want a B&B that has it all, this is the place to stay!. It’s located close to downtown and offers great views of the Blue Ridge Mountains."

"Drive around Asheville for long enough and you’re sure to see an orange goat sticker slapped to the back of someone’s Subaru. That would be the calling card for TacoBilly, the newest adventure for journeying owners Hunter and Beth Berry. A product of their Texas roots and the four years they recently lived in Mexico, TacoBilly’s menu mixes Tex-Mex fare like migas and agua fresca with down-home classics like bacon and potatoes."

"We went to Taco Billy to try their breakfast tacos but they are open all day long. This is another affordable food option with each taco starting at only $3.50!. Currently due to COVID they are only offering to-go but normally they have front and back porch outdoor seating that is dog friendly!"

"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."

"copper crown is a neighborhood bistro in East Asheville, offering their take on New American cuisine with a nod to New Orleans standards. Their menu is updated often to reflect what is new and fresh in the kitchen. Their cuisine pays homage to New Orleans, Italy and the American south while also utilizing the relationships that they have built with local farmers over the years."

"Known as just “The Med” to locals and the many regulars who frequent this Greek American diner, a dollar goes a long way at The Mediterranean. Breakfasts hover between the $5–7 mark, including three-egg omelets that come with hash browns or grits and toast or a biscuit. Sandwiches and its gyros stay in this range too, while hearty, grandma’s-home-cooking style dinners clock in at $7–10 bucks."

"If you’re looking for a good diner-style breakfast in Asheville, look no further than The Med. The Greek homestyle diner has been serving great homestyle diner breakfast and Greek food for the last 50 years!. We love the Hash Bowl, the shrimp & grits, the breakfast burrito, and the classic house Bloody Mary, but most people will also shout out how much they love the prices."

"Another downtown gallery to consider is Blue Spiral 1, who prides itself on filling the 15,000-square-foot space with a diverse collection. The gallery also has a section dedicated to the works of modernist Will Henry Stevens, with pieces rotated in from his estate regularly.

"HOURS: Sun, Tue, Wed & Thu 5pm to 9pm; Fri-Sat 5pm to 10pm; Closed Mondays. Born and raised in a carniverous North Georgia family, I would have never imagined loving vegan food. Opened in 2011 by Leslie Armstrong, Alan Berger, and chef Jason Sellers, Plant was the restaurant that changed my mind, emerging as one of our favorite places to eat in Asheville."

"Our absolute favorite dedicated vegan restaurant in Asheville, Plant serves up entrees, tapas, appetizers, desserts, and delicious cocktails. Plant marks their menu for where you can make gluten-free substitutions. Reservations are recommended via phone."

"I didn’t like this place much when I was like 10, but having grown up a little more, I ..."

"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."

"Little more than a year old, new-kid-on-the-block Elements Real Food sells its own nut “mylks” and smoothies with everything from spirulina and maca, a South American tuber. On the cafe side, Elements has a unique sipping broth (a good anti-cold elixir with its chaga tea, chickpea miso, ginger, and sesame); an ALT (an avocado, lettuce and tomato sandwich with veganaise and on bread from artisanal baker Farm and Sparrow); and raw food desserts such as an avocado-vegan chocolate pie."

"This cold-press juice bar and cafe serves and sells 16-ounce bottles of freshly made juices, nut “mylks” made with cashews, and smoothies. Those looking for a bit more texture can choose from acai bowls, salads or avocado toast, and gluten-free bread and other options can be found on their menu as well. And for raw dieters, their raw desserts earn rave reviews."
