Description:
At first glance, this restaurant/brew pub/movie theater never fails to attract attention. From the metallic, oddly curved exterior to the enormous, purple gorilla, first-time patrons often wonder just what to expect. Inside, the sparse, gently used decor is the perfect backdrop for the restaurant's extensive selection of locally crafted microbrews and eclectic menu. Diners can choose from a variety of salads, quesadillas, sandwiches, pastas and pizzas, each named after movie and television icons. The local favorite is Popeye's Spinach burger, a savory spinach patty with grilled onions, mushrooms, and cheese. There are also a variety of gourmet pizza selections as well as a create-your-own pizza option and a wide variety of crusts and sauces from which to choose. Two movies play nightly on the big screen, and selections change weekly. |

Fiore's Ristorante Toscana |
|
(Restaurants - European) |
|
122 College St, Asheville 28801 • 828-281-0710 |
|
|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. Devoted to conviviality, Fiore's is ideal when you're dining with a group. A comfortable space made warm with golden hues and mellow woods, the restaurant delivers Tuscan cuisine that's lush and satisfying. Try, for example, grilled duck breast with figs and a chianti reduction, or sample beef medallions with a mushroom demi-glace. Pizzas and pastas also make appearances, and family-style platters let diners share the goodness around the table. Live entertainment on weekends is more reason to head over. |

Frankie Bones |
|
(Restaurants - European) |
|
2 Gerber Rd Gerber Village, Ste 101, Asheville 28803 • 828-274-7111 |
|
|
| |
Description:
A classy throwback to '60s-era dining, Frankie Bones seeks to inject big-city culinary perspective into this far-from-dowdy mountain community. Polished woodwork, supple leather, and retro tunes set the scene for brunch dishes like a mushroom and asparagus omelet, chocolate French toast, seafood Benedict, and homemade corned beef hash. If those classics aren't enough to leave you with a contented grin, look to a NY strip with eggs or prime rib with hashbrown casserole for added pleasure. Don't forget a Bloody Mary or a peach Bellini! |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. La Caterina is a charmingly quaint restaurant conveniently situated near the downtown arts centers. The European décor is accented with cherub-painted ceilings and half-tiled walls, and the fare is delightfully authentic Italian.

Description:
WAYNESVILLE. About a half-hour drive from Asheville, well-regarded Lomo Grill has received substantial recognition from the local and regional press. Run by a husband-and-wife team, the restaurant is rustic yet elegant and features a largely Mediterranean menu. Regulars can't say enough good things about grilled caramelized pork tenderloin, grilled chicken alla carbonara, and a grilled hanger steak. A three-course prix fixe dinner for $20 is a fabulous deal for savvy diners. |
