If you’re planning a romantic night out in Asheville, I’ve got some favorite spots you’ll want to try. Over the years, I’ve come back to this mountain town again and again—for the views, the charm, and especially the food. Asheville knows how to do cozy, candlelit, and unforgettable just right. Whether you’re sipping wine on a patio with mountain views or sharing small plates in a tucked-away bistro, you’ll find places here that make any night feel special.
My perfect restaurant incorporates locally sourced ingredients, a unique setting and friendly service. I hope that you will enjoy these as much as I did.
