We came in late, towards last call. Our lovely bartender was gracious and accommodating, despite that. Our drinks were amazing, and she even went beyond to make one of them even better.
This is the place.

Fantastic European style restaurant.
VERY sad the seasonal nettle soup is gone, that was to die for (PLEASE BRING THIS BACK!)
The salad croutons are fresh made and make the salad worth having every time.
The steak frites and chicken dishes were incredible. I don’t think I’ve ever had chicken that was as juicy and tender as it was here.
Prices are in line with a higher end restaurant and the service is fantastic.

We chose to celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary here. What a treat! We loved the casual ambiance- it was not noisy, and it felt cozy. We split an order of oysters, followed by the perfectly cooked swordfish, garnished with a sublime local pepper & a flavorful sauce, and the leg of lamb that was tender and beautifully presented. Tiramisu rounded out our evening in the best possible way. The wine list boasts a wide array of French wines, should you be so motivated…

The Bull and Beggar is a well-known upscale casual restaurant in Asheville, offering a semi-seasonal menu with a French-inspired flair. The ingredients are of good quality, and the dishes are conservatively elaborated to showcase their flavors. The service is professional and attentive, making the dining experience suitable for both seasoned and new customers. The restaurant continues to be a top choice in Asheville, especially after other establishments have closed, thanks to its commitment to culinary excellence.
Standout menu items include the escargot, oysters, steak, cabbage and citrus beet salad, and the whipped feta. Customers praise the delicious bread and butter, as well as the creative and flavorful dishes, such as the Gnocchi alla Romano with fresh vegetables. The oysters on half shell from Washington State are often highlighted as the best, with plump, creamy texture and a perfect brine taste. The hanger steak, served with pommes frites, is perfectly grilled medium rare, and the steak tartare is also highly appreciated. A starter of haricots-vert with tomatoes features some of the best tomatoes ever eaten, and the anchovy toast with truffle is so good that many order a second helping. The cocktails, including a terrific Old Fashioned made by the bartender Peter, are spot on, and the wine selection complements the meal well, with a notable Gamay that pairs with everything. Overall, the restaurant's refined yet regionally true aesthetic, combined with excellent service and expertly prepared dishes, makes it a favorite among Asheville's discerning diners.
