Baby Bull was opened by a high-end restaurant in Asheville (Bull & Beggar) after their Monday Burger night got so popular....it needed its own restaurant! This is a great low-key spot located a few minutes from the Airbnb in the river arts district. The menu is small but everything they make is delicious. They serve up burgers, lobster rolls, fish sandwiches & fries.

This restaurant just got recognized by New York Times and is a personal favorite! (But expect a long wait) Its a casual Indian Street Food restaurant with a fun atmosphere! Our favorite is the Kale Pakoras, Fish Roll, and the Butter Chicken Thali.

Great local food spot in West Asheville that is also attached to The Whale (a taproom featuring rare beers on tap and bottle). Both share a large patio outside to enjoy on a nice day, located right off Haywood Rd. in West Asheville. Haywood Commons serves up sandwiches, salads, bowls, fries, cocktails, and more.

A must-stop for BBQ! Obama and other celebrities have come to eat here. Locals love the smoked turkey brie cheese sandwich but if you are a first-timer you’ll need to try the ribs too. Make sure to get a side of vinegar for dipping! (only open M-F)

Cozy bakeshop that was nominated a James Beard Award offering pastries, naturally leavened bread & other small bites in spare surrounds. This spot can run out of items early so its best to try and beat the crowd. They also opened a second location in North Asheville.

La Bodega by Cúrate – an all-day cafe and Spanish specialty foods shop and restaurant, offering classic Spanish pastries and coffee, casual lunch, dinner and takeout meals and paella. The upstairs is a full restaurant serving up the BEST brunch, lunch and dinner! This is the sister restaurant to the famous Curate restaurant (but is better in our opinion). If you can’t get into the busy Curate, consider yourself lucky and go here instead! Or at least pop into the cafe for a coffee, pastry or sandwich to-go.

Our Favorite Breweries

New Belgium has world-class beers and is also located down the street from our Airbnb! New Belgium is one of the only breweries located on the river, so go get yourself a spot on the deck. We spend most our time here, being our place of work! Also, if you are hungry while there, they usually have great food trucks on-site too (Root Down is a local favorite) & might be the best fried chicken sandwich you’ve ever had! If you have any questions about New Belgium or beer feel free to ask us, we work here.
