Everybody Loves Lists!
Whether it’s Favorite Movies or The 21 Best Fonts For Your Next Tattoo, lists are loved. Here’s my own little eat-out list of Asheville favorites (not in any particular order).
- Sunny Point Café
The wait can be brutal, so go on off-hours, but there’s a reason for that wait! A finalist on Good Morning America’s ‘Best Breakfast in America’, it’s stayed my favorite all-around restaurant in Asheville since they opened.
- Bandido’s Latin Kitchen
Chef made, not your rice and beans. Go if you need a plantains fix. A hole-in the wall, priced really well. Don’t expect ambience, just great food!
- Tod’s Tasties
Owned by upscale Table, Tod’s is an alter ego, casual and cozy with a hipster neighborhood feel. Everything is made fresh daily, sourced as local as possible. Inexpensive. Good menu, great food for any meal.
- White Duck Taco
The original in the River Arts District is still my favorite for the best tacos in town and a soft landing on your wallet. If you like shrimp, MANY people will say the Bangkok Shrimp taco is the best they’ve ever had. Yep.
- Rosetta’s Kitchen
Full-on Asheville atmosphere. Fantastic vegetarian comfort food! Incredible, creative menu with too many amazing options to choose from, you’ll never get bored. Some favorites: the tempeh Rueben and the Pad Thai. Never had a bad meal there.
