Best Restaurants, Must Try Places 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."

"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"

"Okay, so maybe it’s not historical, but beer is part of Asheville’s culture and has been for some time. Check out the brew scene in Asheville with stops at some of the most notable breweries around the city. Highland Brewing Company is worth a stop as the first brewery in Asheville."

They also share the space with Rise Above Deli, which makes everything from scratch on-site, including killer Reubens, pastramis, and falafels. Even if you’re not hungry, split a pig missile—a pretzel stuffed with brat and sauerkraut—while you work your way through their 15 in-house beers."
