Review:

Zambra was named as North Carolina's most romantic restaurant in 2017 by USA Today, known as the city's premiere space for tapas service. The restaurant, which is helmed by restaurateur Peter Montague and executive chef Adam Bannasch, is known as a pioneer among Asheville's farm-to-table scene, serving up Iberian-style tapas and other cuisine items native to the Western Mediterranean. Spanish and Moorish decor accents adorn its rustic dining room space, which showcases an amber-lit ceiling and a beautiful polished stone floor. Locally-sourced ingredients are used to prepare small plate options such as Spanish-style patatas bravas, harissa-spiced tofu, pomegranate-braised pork spring rolls, sesame-crusted scallops, and grilled North Carolina shrimp with chimichurri and pickled onions. Larger plate options include grilled boneless lamb rack, pan-seared trout with hazelnuts and oranges, and Angus beef hanger steak prepared with piquillo mojo and roasted garlic.
