The Best Restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Because of the large number of visitors to Asheville and the many upscale retirees who've moved here, the city has a dining scene that's much more vibrant and varied than its size would suggest. You'll find everything from Greek to Vietnamese, Nepalese to Southern soul food, and barbecue to sushi. Asheville has more vegetarian restaurants per capita than any other city, and there are local coffeehouses on many corners. Most of the city's many craft breweries also serve food.

Vortex Doughnuts

$ | Downtown
Doughnuts here are glazed, sugared, filled, served "old fashioned" or cake-style, and always fresh and handmade. The vegan choices are surprisingly decadent. Inventive signature espresso drinks can be made with oat or nut milks.
