The most delicious pizza we have had this side of Italy. If you like Salmon, then you must try the Alaskan. Everything here is delicious! In the River Arts District so you can also stroll galleries in the area.

If you want absolutely delicious vegetarian and vegan cuisine, this is the place to go! Even carnivores would enjoy it. Try the cornbread and greens with gravy.

There's usually a line but it moves quickly. Huge biscuits, in-house made jams and jellies, unique gravies. A must try for anyone visiting Asheville. The coconut collards are one of my favorite things. There is also a location in West Asheville but parking is better at the Biltmore location.

Extremely popular lunch spot with the locals and there’s a good reason. Service and food are great. If you’re vegetarian they have a Beyond Burger that’s really good. The Greek Salad is my favorite item. Hours 11-3 Monday-Saturday

Parks & Nature

The gardens are a quiet, lovely place to stroll, dip your toes in the stream, or have a picnic. Very close by and adjacent to UNCA campus. The flowers are best in late spring and summer.

If you don't mind the drive, this is one of our favorite hikes. It's near Brevard, NC. Scenes from the Hunger Games was filmed here. There are lovely waterfalls and easy trails. Brevard has a very nice downtown area for shopping and dining. Try Square Root for lunch and stroll through the nearby shops for a relaxing day. Transylvania County is known as the Land of Waterfalls and there are many to see if you want a day surrounded by nature.

It's a little over an hour drive but well worth it if you love a good waterfall and gorge hike. You can also visit Linville Caverns but be sure the specify either the Caverns or the falls for your GPS. Our favorite place to stop and eat on the way back to AVL is the Tropical Grill in Spruce Pine. Delicious with options for both meat eaters and vegetarians. The quatro leche cake is amazing.

Drinks & Nightlife

The entrance is through what looks like a loading dock. I'm not much of a beer drinker but I love Ginger's Revenge so much I have my own growler. The flavors are so creative and delicious. If you aren't sure about the taste, order a flight and see for yourself. Check their website for the entertainment and event listings. They also have bar food on the menu.
