Asheville NC Restaurant Recommendations for July

Wife and are are visiting Asheville for vacation in July staying at the Black Walnut B & B. We would like recommendations for 5 days worth of lunches and dinners near the B & B or downtown. Will have a car so any recommendations slightly outside Asheville if really good are welcomed as well. Thanks!

    12 Bones has great barbecue and sides and is a true experience. As we were told, "don't worry about the line, it goes fast" and it does!

      Curate was eff-ing amazing. The chef was formerly at El Bulli under Ferran Adria, and is an absolute sweetheart. The food was damn near flawless. The wine list is awesome and the prices are super reasonable. That was one of the best meals I've had in a long time, I couldn't more highly recommend it.

        Chef Katie Button IS amazing...few know how much she and her mother (Elizabeth) do in the community. They have embraced Asheville and work w/ kids and schools - we are very fortunate to have them! Beyond that, the food is very authentic Spanish-style tapas.

            Should have also added Tupelo Honey and Early Girl to my lunch list. Also, all of these are in Asheville. Don't know much about Black Mountain.
